It’s a pleasure to see the newly branded and completely redesigned user experience emerge from this company in kiteworks (yes, all lower case). With this new release, kiteworks positions Accellion as a serious contender and ready to command respect in the enterprise mobile collaboration and file-sharing space.
kiteworks is a secure mobile file-sharing solution that enables users to securely collaborate on files and projects on iOS devices and other mobile platforms. kiteworks also provides organizations with an intuitive re-imagined user interface that empowers users to seamlessly access, share, and manage content across devices with a streamlined and consistent experience across mobile platforms and modern web browsers.
This video sums it up nicely.
But the magic doesn’t end with the pleasurable new UI; Accellion has invested heavily in the ability to perform round-trip editing of Microsoft Word documents. This is an important feature because despite the sandboxing aspects of iOS (for example), allowing other apps access to sensitive information is fundamentally a security breach.
Among the many IT-friendly mobile management aspects of its enterprise solution, Accellion prevents security issues created when passing documents to external apps by retaining complete control of documents in the environment, even when you need to tweak a document or author an entire paper. The architecture they’ve employed ensures the greatest possible security without constraining people who just want to work on their documents in a seamless and effortless manner.
The move to encapsulate the editing process in a secure cocoon will result in hyper-productivity for enterprise workers while also eliminating training resources necessary in multi-app integrations.
A tip’o'the hat to Accellion engineers. Nice work.
