ShareOnVibe is at CeBIT

The CeBIT is coming up again – and ShareOnVibe will be around!

Starting on March 10th, Hanover will once more be hosting the world’s largest computer expo, with more than 4.000 companies presenting their services and products.

The conferences, keynotes and talks during the trade fair’s course will for the most part be centered around the topic Datability – the ability to use big amounts of data sustainably and responsibly – and the possibilities and challenges of working with big data. However, other topics like Social Business, Mobile or Trust & Security will be featured as well.

We address these aspects in our Services & Solutions, for example with enterprise solutions for secure and mobile-enabled file management or with social collaboration platforms focusing on shared content and collaborative working with documents.

In case you are around at CeBIT, don’t hesitate to visit our distributor inetra de in hall 9, booth A 40. If you’re interested in ShareOnVibe or inetra de‘s other software solutions, register here or just stop by the team of inetra de at their booth and get the hopefully last sticky notes you’ll ever need!

Answer your colleague’s phone – Vibe won’t forget to tell him!

You probably know the scenario: You’re the first one to come into the office in the morning and the phone rings. You answer the call and it’s for your colleague and concerning one of his projects. You write a quick note on a piece of paper for telling your colleague later, but as it happens, work gets the better of you and you forget telling your colleague about it. In the afternoon, on a short coffee break, your colleague complains about the progress on his project being stalled because he needs some input from someone outside of the department. Suddenly you blush and remember the sticky note about the phone call from the morning … even though it is so easy to prevent situations like these!

Just take a look at our newest use case “Answering your Colleague’s Phone”, improve the flow of information and leave these embarrassing moments behind.

Happy Holidays!

 Dear Friends,

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and the year is slowly coming to an end.
We would like to thank you for the interest you have taken in our company and
for accompanying us throughout the last year – either in person at conferences and workshops,
or via our newsletters and blog posts.

We hope you have a nice holiday, a relaxed Christmas break and a happy new year!
We look forward to hearing from you again in 2014!

Facilitate reviews of your website or blog contents

Imagine you’re checking something out on your company’s website or blog and you come across some spelling mistakes, outdated information or a non-functioning video? There’s nothing easier than letting the web content mananger know via ShareOnVibe: Use a Vibe folder for your whole team, department or organizational unit that notifies the web content manager with every new entry and add that folder to your ShareOnVibe folders.

So when you stumble across one of the aforesaid mistakes, just select the text area with your mouse and right-klick.

Quick Share the Selection into the designated folder or use the Share Plus option to add a comment (like “Video doesn’t work” or “Link no longer exists”). Once you have shared the text snippet into the folder, the web content manager gets a notification informing him about the new entry.

The information displayed in the entry includes not only the text snippet and your comment, but also a link to the site where the mistakes had been made. Therefore, the manager doesn’t have to search for the reported errors all over the page, but they are presented to him and the effort needed to correct them is significantly lower.

Found a spelling mistake on our website shareonvibe.com? Share it with ShareOnVibe into our target practice folder.

If you like this use case for ShareOnVibe and want to check out more, you should definitely browse our Use Case section. And in case you use ShareOnVibe in a way that is not represented in that section – contact us. We would be happy to add your use case to our collection!

Something to read on a cold November day …

Since the foundation of Code and Concept in 2007, we have gained a reputation for expertise in Novell collaboration technologies like Vibe, GroupWise and Filr, and successfully completed numerous Germany- and EU-based projects. Consequently, we are regular speakers at conferences and occasionally author articles in specialist journals. Over the last years, we provided a lot of information material and articles and our work has been acknowledged in others’ publications as well. Today, we’d like to give you an overview of the literature available:

Our New Partner for Vibe and ShareOnVibe

SKyPRO is an IT consulting and software company from Switzerland that provides solutions around Novell GroupWise/SMS/Fax and Identity Management. With SKyPRO as a new partner we are going the next step in extending Vibe with long-awaited functionalities. Right now, we are uniting the technologies of SKyPRO and Code and Concept to create a product that combines their advantages in one product – it enables Vibe users to send SMS and faxes directly through Vibe forms and workflows – and therefore even via ShareOnVibe. The prototypes – SMS4Vibe and Fax4Vibe – have been presented at the GWAVACon and we are looking forward to releasing them soon.
