Product Description:

harmon.ie for SharePoint is an email sidebar  that greatly increases document and social adoption of SharePoint without changing user behavior.  In fact, with harmon.ie’s client side software, typical business users complete SharePoint tasks five to six times faster than before. 

The free version of harmon.ie enables users to search, access and share documents on SharePoint from within Outlook (http://harmon.ie/SharePoint/FreeDownload).  When documents are sent as email attachments, harmon.ie can automatically publish them to SharePoint and forward a link of the attachment, instead. Two key benefits to the user are 1) important documents are always easy to find; they are not buried somewhere in the Inbox, and 2) when documents are sent out to multiple people for comments, only one version ‘comes back.’

harmon.ie Enterprise incorporates important features that increase the value of your SharePoint deployment. For example, with harmon.ie Enterprise, Outlook or Lotus Notes users can:

• Drag and drop emails into SharePoint, including automated mapping of email headers to SharePoint columns
• Follow SharePoint documents in real-time, so you can immediately see when colleagues have updated important documents, right in your email window.
• Get a dynamic list of SharePoint colleagues; suggestions are made based on who you are communicating with across an array of communication modalities and with whom you are sharing documents.
• Connect with colleagues from the activity stream via unified communications(Lync/OCS, Lotus Sametime and Cisco UC), eliminating the need to change windows to initiate phone, chat, video or email discussions.
• Update your enterprise social network profiles and statusdirectly from email. 

While senior executives are feeling the to adopt a true social business model in order to remain relevant, sustainable and profitable, most simply don’t know how to go about it.  While technology is changing at a revolutionary pace, people and their fondness for the status quo, aren’t.   Expecting people to make sudden, significant changes in the way they work is therefore a big risk.  harmon.ie eases business users into a more collaborative, social enterprise by complementing people’s existing work habits and technological comfort zones.
