Take Your SharePoint With You: NewsGator Social Sites on the iPad

by on May 14th, 2012

So you’re using NewsGator Social Sites on your SharePoint intranet and you want to stay connected when you’re on the go?  Check out my new video blog on using the iPad app for NewsGator Social Sites.  As NewsGator’s inaugural Partner of the Year (2011), we just might know a little something about this.

Oh, and if you’re not using Social Sites to make SharePoint more social, you probably should be.  There’s a lot of knowledge out there to be managed that winds up slipping through your fingers if you don’t bring those conversations online and take advantage of crowdsourcing!

SharePoint 2010 and iPad support

by on January 25th, 2012

There was an interesting update to technet recently describing how iPad support has been improved in  SharePoint 2010 for viewing reports and scorecards. This is one of the first articles i’ve seen from microsoft that mentions the iPad specifically and could indicate further improvements in the future. We have seen more and more customers looking at accessing their SharePoint portals and content from the iPad and other tablets. Oftentimes we have to customize the branding or integrate with an application on the iPad to get all the functionality to work properly. 

To take advantage of this new support you will need the December 2011 Cumulative Updates installed as well as iOS 5 on the iPad you are using to access the site.

SharePoint 2010 on the iPad actually works pretty well for most functions and can even be used to edit excel documents using the office web apps (there still seems to be issues with word and powerpoint).

Have you used your SharePoint site on the iPad yet? What issues have you ran into?
