Colligo recently announced a partnership with PSIGEN to deliver “Scan2Go”, a combination of Colligo Briefcase and PSIGEN’s PSI:Capture. Using Scan2Go, paper assets—such as signed contracts, drawings and faxes—are captured and processed by PSI:Capture and organized into SharePoint libraries.

The Colligo team is heading down under! We’re really excited to be participating in some key events in New Zealand and Australia, namely the New Zealand SharePoint Conference and an executive luncheon hosted by our Australian partner, Sensory7, for public sector CIOs and records managers.

Even though 2011 is a mid-release year for SharePoint, it certainly didn’t dampen the enthusiasm at the SharePoint Conference in Anaheim. With another sell-out, SPC 2011 showcased how SharePoint has matured into the collaboration, ECM, and records management platform of choice for organizations worldwide, and highlighted the robustness of the SharePoint eco-system.

Are you attending the SharePoint Conference 2011 in Anaheim? If you’re at the show, don’t miss Colligo Networks’ executive luncheon on October 5, “Secrets to SharePoint Success in the Enterprise”.

ILTA 2011 took place in the Nashville Tennessee, the country music capital of the world, and like last year, the conference was very well run and successful. Colligo was invited to exhibit as part of the Microsoft booth along with Applied Information Systems (AIS), K2, and BA Insight. A special thanks to the Microsoft crew for hosting us this year, we are grateful for their support and hospitality.

The Colligo team is very excited to be heading to the International Legal Technology Association Conference 2011 in Nashville, TN, from August 21-25. As a Microsoft SharePoint partner for nearly 7 years, Colligo has a significant customer base of professional service organizations and we have been eagerly anticipating the move of legal firms to SharePoint from their legacy document management solutions (DMS).

Congratulations to Microsoft for <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/office365/online-software.aspx" target="_blank">releasing the public beta of Office 365</a>. The buzz that we’re hearing about <a title="Office 365" href="http://www.colligo.com/sharepoint-solutions/business/office-365-cloud/">Office 365</a> is incredible and we’ve talked to a lot of customers who are looking at either moving totally to Office 365 or creating a hybrid environment with both on-premise and cloud-based SharePoint.

We’re really proud to have been the first company in our market to <a href="/news-releases/colligo-networks’-contributor-pro-suite-introduces-industry-leading-support-for-microsoft-office-365/">announce support for Office 365 </a>and actually had Microsoft demonstrate <a title="Colligo Contributor" href="http://www.colligo.com/products/contributor/">Colligo Contributor</a> working with Office 365 at the AIIM/Info360 conference in Washington, DC in March. The presentation showed how a user can move content to SharePoint libraries located on-premise or in the cloud from within the Outlook interface.

While attending the AIIM/Info360 conference a couple weeks ago, it was obvious that Box.net had decided to use the event as their “coming out” party. Box.net is a cloud content management company that is positioning itself directly against SharePoint 2010. In fact, they are claiming that 73% of Fortune 500 companies are already using their service.

On their website, Box.net invites people to compare the cost of SharePoint to Box.net through the use of a simple calculator. So being the inquisitive type, I decided to give it a try!

The Colligo team has just returned from the AIIM/Info360 conference in Washington, DC, where Colligo was exhibiting in the Microsoft pavilion and presenting as part of the SharePoint track. It was definitely an action packed 3 days and I’ve noted some personal highlights and general observations from the conference below:

Colligo’s booth in the Microsoft partner pavilion

Colligo was ideally positioned in the Microsoft partner pavilion and this definitely drove a lot of traffic to our booth. As always, there was tremendous amount of interest in SharePoint 2010 and we talked with many companies and agencies that now have actual funded projects to surround/augment/replace their legacy ECM/DMS/RM solutions with SharePoint 2010.
