The first approved iPad app for IBM software?
Category SnappFiles Quickr FileNet IBM Content Manager Alfresco iPad SNAPPSThe wait is almost over. Tomorrow a few hundred thousand people will be picking up their iPads at Apple Stores or waiting at home for the delivery truck. And quite likely, a few of those will have jobs, where they do work, and use document management systems. Like IBM Lotus Quickr, FileNet P8, IBM Content Manager (CM8), Alfresco Open-Source ECM, or another flavor. Just a couple weeks ago, we announced Julian Robichaux had updated our SnappFiles app for iPhone and iPod touch to support all of these formats with version 1.0.3.
Well if you're one of those lucky ones tomorrow and live at the intersection of coolness and business, you'll want SnappFiles 1.0.4, which was approved last night (!) and is now available on the Apple Store, officially listed as both an "App" and as an "iPad App." In fact, as of today it's the only iPad App listed when you search for "IBM" or any of the supported ECM systems, so it should be easy to find. You can search for it by name, or by any of the supported ECM system names. Julian will eventually go into some technical depth on his blog about the changes he made to be more iPad-friendly (mostly having to do with form factor), but here is a screenshot of SnappFiles in action - all the configured servers, and viewing of a PDF:
Enjoy!
