5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
While the current packages focus on collaboration tools, such as Wiki building, blogging, and RSS reading and syndication, future applications on the drawing boards for SuiteTwo include podcasting, business networking and mobility services. Although the SuiteTwo media announcement didn't mention it, a natural addition to the stable of Web 2.0 applications would also be office productivity tools which provide a distinct advantage in collaborative capabilities compared to their desktop bound counterparts. In addition, the new service will provide a degree of operating system independence. SuiteTwo will run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Microsoft Windows. "This was a unique opportunity to actively create an effective software suite that delivers heightened capabilities to the enterprise ecosystem," said Arvind Sodhani, president of Intel Capital. "Intel Capital is the only global venture capital organization of its kind that can spearhead a project like this by offering an engagement with Intel business units and international promotion through appropriate channels. Distributors will have the option to resell the suite and then Intel will get a nominal fee for deploying it via the Intel Channel Marketplace. The price range is from $175 to $200 per user per year.{moscomment} |
