ShareMethods Announces Mobile Documents On-Demand for the Apple iPhone

ShareMethods will extend its reach to the Apple iPhone with mobile access to key documents on-demand.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 7, 2007-- ShareMethods (http://www.sharemethods.com) today announced plans to support the Apple® iPhone, especially targeted for business users with a need for mobile access to key documents using an enterprise class document management service.

The features and benefits enabled with the iPhone support will include the following:

- iPhone Access to Key Documents: ShareMethods application service empowers users with secure mobile access to large numbers of documents on the iPhone.

- iPhone Full Text Search and Browsing for Documents - Users can search for documents based on full text search and browse through categories of desktop or online documents.

- iPhone Document Viewing: HTML, JPEG/GIF, MS Word/Excel, and PDF documents and URLs stored in ShareOffice can be viewed directly on the device.

- iPhone Email Services for Sending Documents: Users can search or browse to any document and email that document via a link to a registered user or as an attachment to an external user or a salesforce.com contact.

- iPhone Workflow and Collaboration: Users can participate in review and approval document workflows on their iPhone.

- iPhone Document Community Features: Users can post and view team messages using Quick Share, a community message board; users can also read and post user reviews of documents and vote on the content using a five star rating scheme.

- iPhone CRM access via salesforce.com: ShareMethods application services can also be accessed on the iPhone via salesforce.com in ShareNow for AppExchange and ShareOffice for AppExchange.

iPhone support empowers mobile professionals with access to both documents and workflow when on the go. For example, a salesperson might have just completed a sales meeting with a need to send a complex set of presentations, price lists, data sheets, etc. They could call up all of the documents that they need using ShareMethods with iPhone support and then email the documents directly from the iPhone providing an immediate response to an interested sales prospect or top customer. Another scenario could be completing a review and approval process for a document requiring a short turn-around time. For a team that is traveling, this would allow distributed access to documents for viewing and workflow to track approvals.

"We are thrilled about the potential for mobile capabilities enabled via the Apple iPhone. For a salesperson on the go, the ability to quickly, securely, and easily view and email key documents on-demand allows fast response to interested prospects and customers. Likewise for a marketer, documents can be delivered to salespeople making sure they have the latest materials in the right place at the right time to efficiently support the sales process. ShareMethods on the iPhone brings thousands of documents to your fingertips with ease. This is just the beginning of our plans to support mobile access, stay tuned for more developments", said Eric Hoffert, CEO of ShareMethods.

ShareMethods CEO Eric Hoffert will be announcing and demonstrating product advances at the Office 2.0 Conference in San Francisco. ShareMethods will make these announcements at the Launch Pad event on Wednesday September 6 at 12:30 pm. Learn more about the Office 2.0 Conference at www.o2con.com
