RealFleet's Amadana Office Suite

RealFleet's Amadana Office Suite 06/30/2004 06:10 AM

MoCoLoCo profiles the new suite of office products from Toshiba offshoot RealFleet, Amadana, 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 Amadana 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
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.

Microsoft To Bridge Office, Back Office
Apps 01/26/2004 01:10 AM
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.
