As today’s technology is changing, finding crucial information can be tough. When you consider the services that the cloud is offering/providing us, you’ll see that many services are overlaying each other. . . . Information Overload is when you are trying to deal with more information than you can process to make sensible decisions. The result is that you either delay making decisions, or you make the wrong decisions.
A breezy PR email on workplace productivity ruffled my feathers. But my snarky response led me to a much more substantive debate with Harmon.ie CEO Yaacov Cohen. He shared Harmon.ie’s latest machine learning/Outlook-based approach to easing worker distractions. Then we got into the problem of always-on workplace culture, notification noise, and what the modern worker is up against.
Looking to make Outlook the center of the digital workspace, Harmon.ie has launched a new tool which brings together commonly used business apps and services into one place that gathers information from disparate apps and cloud services using AI and machine learning to apply context to a given task.

Following Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn Corp. for $26.2 billion one of Microsoft’s partners, harmon.ie, a company that develops mobile collaboration tools for Microsoft services, believes Microsoft and its partners stand to benefit considerably from “LinkedIn’s treasure trove of information”. But there are some obstacles Microsoft will have to overcome, harmon.ie asserts, and one of those is possibility of LinkedIn users having trust issues with Microsoft owning more of their personal information.
There are many layers to Microsoft's vision for enterprise collaboration, including roles for SharePoint and Office 365. But email and the email applications in Office 365 arguable remain some of the most essential in spite of the overall evolution of the company's various collaboration platforms such as Yammer.
The initial shock of Microsoft's massive $26.2 billion bet on LinkedIn has mostly worn off, but it's still unclear just what Microsoft will do with LinkedIn, how the social network's loyal users will react to related change, and how Microsoft will integrate LinkedIn data with its products.
Yesterday, Microsoft announced its intent to buy LinkedIn for $26.2 billion (£18.4bn), the largest acquisition deal in the company’s history. Naturally, it did not go unnoticed in the tech press. The analysis from this publication focused on strengths, such as LinkedIn’s graphs and the various integrations with Office, Cortana and others that in theory sound exciting, as well as potential cautions.
Microsoft has yet to substantially improve the user interface or add significant features and functionalities to the enterprise collaboration platform it bought for $1.2 billion four years ago.

The SharePoint and Office 365 community now have plenty to chew on now that Microsoft has articulated the future of its collaboration software and service. It's no surprise that Microsoft wants as much collaboration as possible to take place in the cloud via Office 365 and SharePoint Online but the company reassured the SharePoint Server community that this wasn't the last on-premises version.

Most organisations aiming for a mobile-first, cloud-first workplace are unknowingly heading towards a productivity cliff caused by an ever-growing “app-ageddon”.
The cloud is a crucial part of Microsoft's future, and the success of Office 365 will be a crucial part of that. "Businesses moving to the cloud will find it extremely hard to migrate away from it, creating an exceptionally sticky business fueled by ongoing subscription revenues," said David Lavenda, VP of product strategy for harmon.ie. "And with Office Graph, which promises to deliver business intelligence from the cloud, Microsoft is likely to be the first to a new smart cloud offering, which will further drive growth."
According to a report from enterprise software vendor Harmon.ie, Microsoft Partners says their clients are willing to move existing Microsoft enterprise environments like Office, Exchange, and SharePoint to the cloud, but not without some trepidation. Indeed, the main reason many organizations make the switch is motivated by costs savings, and not necessarily a belief that cloud solutions are a superior alternative.
"Microsoft is at a crossroads. By doubling down on Office 365 and effectively shedding the mobile device market (Nokia), Microsoft has clearly indicated it’s a cloud-first world and the Ballmer device-first, Windows-first dynasty is behind us," said David Lavenda, VP of product strategy for harmon.ie, referring to the regime of former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Microsoft Office 365 Opportunities and Challenges for Microsoft Ecosystem Partners
Office 365 has been a hit in the enterprise. Many of those who have not already deployed it are planning to do so, a trend confirmed by recent research from enterprise collaboration vendor Harmon.ie.
A report from enterprise mobile collaboration provider harmon.ie argues Microsoft is making progress in moving its customers’ productivity software to the mobile cloud, yet on premise remains important.
Accepting cloud technology seems to still be up in the air for Microsoft partners and their customers, according to results from a harmon.ie report released today, “Transitioning to the Mobile Cloud: Microsoft Office 365 Opportunities and Challenges for Microsoft Ecosystem Partners.”

Today's changing workforce with more mobile and remote workers has meant changes in how enterprises collaborate between employees, partners and customers. When mobile devices are used as a primary or secondary collaboration tool, then you might have to crack the mobile collaboration code for your enterprise to make sure collaboration happens securely.
Businesses are on the brink of an enterprise ‘app-ocalypse’ driven by the advance of cloud services companies and their workforce have added to their arsenal in order to cater to customers and deliver amazing (often times contextual) experiences. Driven by a desire to improve service and performance these businesses are unwittingly creating a chaotic — even crippling — user experience for their workforce. David Lavenda tells how freedom of choice — which allows businesses to select the most appropriate cloud service for the task at hand — has created problems for the enterprise that only app and services consolidation can solve. - See more at: http://www.mobilegroove.com/consolidate-to-avoid-enterprise-app-ocalypse...

This product essentially brings a single pane of glass to access all Office 365 data stores from Microsoft Outlook or a mobile interface.
I’ll blog about my experience using its product another day, as it gives me simple access to SharePoint instead of the dreaded browser interface.

Have you ever wondered if you rate as a mover or shaker in the Office 365 universe?" Well, now you have your answer, thanks to a just released list from Harmon.ie.
Harmon.ie, a company that creates software solutions to improve collaboration in the digital workplace, commissioned Scratch Marketing + Media to identify top Office 365 influencers.
Starting from a position that today’s mobile workforce does not need more tools, just better ones, Harmon.ie announced Collage, an app that brings data from multiple business application sources into a single view that can then be acted upon.
Email has a bad reputation for being the main cause of information overload; just look at the massive amounts of articles and studies devoted to the topic: According to a 2012 report from consulting firm McKinsey, reading and answering emails constitutes 28 per cent of an employee’s weekly work tasks. In a study of office workers in the U.K. a psychiatrist found that the average worker’s IQ fell by 10 points when they were distracted by email messages while working, the equivalent of missing an entire night of sleep.
Collage.
Key features: Collage provides workers with the first ‘go-to’ app for the Digital Workplace, now uniting business/collaboration apps, topical email and documents into a contextual single-screen experience on iPhones and iPads.
Despite years of discussions on enterprise mobility and BYOD, there are very few real business use cases that demonstrate real ROI. While we have much to accomplish in our quest for the mobile enterprise, many lessons have already been learned; lessons we can apply moving forward.
The typical mobile user of Microsoft's collaboration tools — Office 365, SharePoint, Yammer and OneDrive — isn’t a social media maven, according to a survey of user habits. But he can't live without document access.
Microsoft's Office 365 and Apple's iOS devices are becoming the main tools of the mobile workforce.
That is the conclusion of a survey [pdf] of 1,500 business users who downloaded the harmon.ie Mobile app, which brings Microsoft collaboration tools into a single screen on Android, iOS and BlackBerry devices.
A new report suggests the most common activity among businesspeople using Microsoft collaboration tools is document sharing, and much of that activity occurs early in the week, on Monday and Tuesday.
The problem with mobile and social tools in the workplace is that they are all about distraction, says Yaacov Cohen, the co-founder of Harmon.ie, an Israeli-based company that is creating new social tools for the workplace.
Updated Microsoft is serious about making work seamless. Five months after it was originally announced, Microsoft is officially rebranding Lync as Skype for Business.
The reasoning is simple. “We want to bring together the well-loved, familiar experience of Skype with the enterprise security, compliance and control that businesses expect from Microsoft,” a Skype blog post explains. A technical preview is already available, and the service will be made generally available in April.
Harmon.ie, a cloud-based software company headquartered in Israel, has moved its U.S. headquarters from Silicon Valley to Boston and plans to have 15 people at the office by the end of the year.
Creative Solutions in Healthcare found its workers are more productive and collaborative using social collaboration software than email. That led the company to evaluate options like harmon.ie's Collage, which brings together information spread out among different cloud services, like Office 365, Yammer and Salesforce, on a one-screen notification center for easier viewing.
