MoCoLoCo profiles the new suite of office products from Toshiba offshoot RealFleet, Amadama, including this pleasing translucent brown humidifier (the barrel) and this desktop audio system (the cube), as well as a phone, calculator, office chair, personal shredder, and more. Is brown translucent the next brushed aluminum? It's a odd, but increasingly popular design ethic, with sharp corners and muted colors that remind me of nothing less than the signature subdued office spaces of Blade Runner. It's as if the white version of the Amadama products are the positive, virtuous forms of the products, and the brown and brick versions are what they look like in the twilight.

Microsoft Focusing Office Suite On Web

Microsoft Focusing Office Suite On Web
Services 08/22/2004 03:16 PM
Microsoft, seeing it's growth beginning to slow in the office sector, plans to reinvent the way people work, communicate and collaborate on projects by retuning it's Office Suite toward web services.

"Office defines business productivity," Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman, told financial analysts in July. "The productivity area is probably the most important franchise that we have." Microsoft is banking on the Office initiative to help it fend off the challenge from open source software and other competitors.

"Microsoft is trying to make Office less a product and more like an online service," said Nate Root, an analyst for Forrester Research. "Adoption is going to be slow because Microsoft is trying to change the paradigm. It's a fundamental cultural change in how people think of and use Office." Because the next version of Windows, called Longhorn, may not ship until 2007, analysts say, the Office overhaul is needed in the meantime to deliver more Web services technology to the desktop. The new capabilities in the Office system are also needed to lure software developers to create more applications that run on Microsoft products.

Challengers like Sun Microsystems' StarOffice, OpenOffice.org and the Open Source Applications Foundation offer free or very inexpensive alternatives to Microsoft's Office programs. At the same time, Microsoft faces strong competitors in the collaboration field. IBM (NYSE: IBM) , for example, has sold Web conferencing, Web-based work spaces and other software for years, and leads in some market segments.

Free Site License To Online Office Suite
For Indiana Residents

Free Site License To Online Office Suite
For Indiana Residents 06/24/2004 08:01 PM
Last year, we had a story about the city of Houston ditchin g Microsoft in favor of an online office suite called SimDesk. There hadn't been much news out of SimDesk since then, but Broadband Reports points us to a story about a new SimDesk deal with the state of Indiana to provide SimDesk for free to every state resident for at least two years (and possibly longer). It sounds similar to some "site licenses" that many companies offer their employees or which universities offer their students, though SimDesk isn't getting paid for this. Instead, they seem to be doing it in exchange for an investment. Microsoft (just as they did in Houston) is likely to cry foul, and complain that the state is competing unfairly against them. It's also unclear from the article how they prove who is an Indiana resident (the site appears to require an address, but I imagine that could be faked). Also, what happens if someone moves out of Indiana? Either way, the state could just point people to something like OpenOffice, which is already free if they really just wanted people to have a free office suite, instead of having to set up a special SimIndiana site.

Groove touts performance in updated
Virtual Office

Groove touts performance in updated
Virtual Office 07/09/2004 11:56 AM
Collaboration software vendor Groove Networks Inc. next week plans to announce an updated version of its flagship software, which it said will offer better security, improved performance and new ease-of-use features.Previously known as Groove Workspace 2.5, Groove Virtual Office 3.0 has faster launch times and allows multiple Groove project workspaces to be opened without a noticeable performance hit, according to Andrew Mahon, director of strategic marketing at the Beverly, Mass.-based company. The product also includes a new on-screen launch bar, where contacts with other collaborators can be managed from a single place, as well as synchronization capabilities that allow users to automatically share folders on their Windows machines with other users.In addition to Groove's existing forms-editor tools, the 3.0 release includes 10 forms templates designed to allow users to more quickly use standard forms for their collaboration projects.On the server side, the newest version of the software includes third-party private-key infrastructure security, as well as built-in auditing capabilities and backup functions.Richard Prather, CIO and vice president of technology for CARE, said the worldwide humanitarian relief agency began using Groove last year for about 70 relief workers in Central America and about 40 IT staffers. He's pleased with how it allows remote workers to do their jobs even if an online connection isn't immediately available. Users can take advantage of Groove's off-line work capabilities and then sync up automatically with other group members when they're able to go online, he said.That is a big benefit in remote locations where online connections and even electricity can be frequently cut off, Prather said. The application is also easy to use and intuitive -- even for users without a lot of computer experience, he said.The Groove software is part of a five-nation pilot project called "Information Anywhere" that Atlanta-based CARE is conducting over six months "to determine how to operate in a very decentralized environment with no or poor connectivity," he said.Another user, Glen Johnson, director of the U.S. State Department Iraq Transition Management staff in Washington, said Groove was chosen for a pilot project by his agency primarily because it offers better security. "No (competing products) other than Groove secured the data in transit and on the desktop," Johnson said.Ethan Schoonover, e-business director in Asia for London-based advertising agency Lowe & Partners Worldwide, said some 300 workers at his company have been using Groove for preparing ad pitches, managing accounts and performing strategic research.Version 2.5 of the software works as advertised, and many of the new features in Version 3 are a "great example of a company really listening to user feedback and implementing requested features," Schoonover said.Ease of use is a big plus, he said. "Even our technophobe users could get the hang of it and get comfortable with it," Schoonover said. "Groove 3.0 has cleaned up and streamlined the (user interface), and overall performance is radically improved. Launch of Groove, launch of workspaces, messaging is all significantly faster. This alone addresses a key issue with 2.5, that it was sometimes sluggish. The 3.0 memory footprint seems to be smaller in our initial review, which reduces its impact on older systems."With user data stored on the user's machine and automatically synced when online, "this is the killer app for us," Schoonover said.David Marshak, an analyst at The Patricia Seybold Group Inc. in Boston, said Groove's key strength is that it combines real-time online collaboration capabilities with off-line workspaces. "The integration ... is much better than anyone else has even attempted," he said.Peter O'Kelly, an analyst at Burton Group in Boston, said Groove's natural competitors include Lotus Notes/Domino, which was invented by Groove's founder, Ray Ozzie, and other products such as Microsoft Corp.'s SharePoint and Macromedia Inc.'s Breeze. But none match Groove's exact feature set of security, collaboration and online/off-line work capabilities."It really is at a sweet spot with a combination of features that no one else has completely," O'Kelly said.Pricing starts at $179 per user for Virtual Office Professional Edition, with hosted relay and management services starting at $40 per user a year. Customers can also choose to host their own Groove servers, starting at $9,995 per server per year.

Microsoft continues to build bridges between Office desktop apps and reservoirs of back-office data. The "Information Worker Bridge" project now under way seeks to make it easier for integrators or in-house developers to make Excel or Word de-facto front ends for back-end accounting, ERP or other applications, sources said. In theory, this would take back-office integration beyond ODBC drivers and InfoPath, the Office application that lets people build dynamic forms on their desktops that tap into back-office XML data.
