Mailscape was named Gold Medal winner of the “2010 Editors’ Best Awards” in the Best Messaging category by Penton Media’s Windows IT Pro magazine. According to Penton Media, Mailscape garnered the top award, because it provides a simple view into complex messaging environments to help proactively address problems before they affect end users.
“The 2010 Editors’ Best Awards are in recognition of our editors’, contributors’, and authors’ favorite products of the year,” said Jason Bovberg, senior editor at Windows IT Pro. “Our editorial experts’ annual tradition of selecting winners based on a product’s strategic importance to market, its competitive advantages, and its value to the customer is particularly significant to the Windows IT Pro and SQL Server Magazine this year, as we call out exceptional products in an economically tight, highly competitive market.
ENow’s Mailscape Exchange Server monitoring product features a dashboard with red, yellow, and green lights indicating the health of each monitored server. “I chose it right then and there because it gave me what I needed for my support staff to be more proactive even though they’re overburdened,” said John O’Neill, Sr., Corporate Director of IT for Molded Fiber Glass. Additional Mailscape features that supported his Exchange 2010 migration also influenced O’Neil’s selection. “The ability to have information real-time and make fast decisions is the best advantage I think a team can have.”
Edit Google Docs with your Mobile Device – Google Apps
Posted by Kevin Lalor in Messaging & Collaboration on November 22nd, 2010
Google just recently announced the ability to edit Google docs with your mobile browser. Now you can edit anywhere with your Android or iPhone/Touch/iPad device.
It is easy to get started: Simply navigated to your Apps account from your mobile browser: (mail.google.com/a/[domain.com]/) and go into your Google Docs. Open one up and start to edit by hitting the Edit button. The changes show up in run-time to others checking out the document. And like before, editing on spreadsheets from your mobile’s browser is also supported
Eliminate the “Version Control” Police with Google Docs

Google Docs from Bi101
Picture me scrolling through my Inbox, scanning for attachment icons. Where oh where is the latest version of that document? Wait, maybe it’s in my Sent Items. That’s right; I think I made the last round of changes and sent it back. More scrolling and scanning…
Or did I save it down to a folder? More searching… More wasted time. More uncertainty about whether the document I eventually found and am now editing is in fact the latest one.
I know you’ve been there, too. We are all flooded with documents (particularly in the form of email attachments). Whether it’s searching through email to find “the latest” or comparing timestamps on docs that you saved, managing “version control” is a real pain and a big inefficiency – especially at highly collaborative companies.
It’s time to put an end to this! Whenever possible, please boycott the practice of sending email attachments back and forth with clients and colleagues, as a rickety form of collaboration. Email is for communication, not collaboration! Plus, there are great solutions available that increase collaboration, rather than hinder it.
Google Docs to the Rescue
Personally, I’m a fan of Google Docs (a part of the Google Apps suite.) It allowed me to quit being the version control police and focus on actually being productive. I won’t go into how it works. Many of you already know. If not, check out the little YouTube video below to see the app in action.
Suffice it to say that I no longer engage in what I described above. I just log into Google Docs and grab the latest work-in-progress. Collaboration is a good thing!
Feel free to connect with us to get a free trial of Google Docs.
