ThinkFree Behind the Firewall; Zoho since SharePoint
Yesterday was “news rich” in the productivity entourage boost. Two parsimonious vendors, ThinkFree and Zoho, made captivating announcements. ThinkFree released its ThinkFree Server Enterprise infusion on June 22 and announced it on June 23. At the Enterprise 2.0 Conference on June 23, Zoho announced Zoho
Office since Microsoft SharePoint. Basically, this allows an boldness to dupe ThinkFree’s SaaS productivity suite/document sharing infusion and initiate it on an internal server behind the firewall. The e-mail I got from the PR themselves says,This add-on, when installed on a
Microsoft SharePoint Server, integrates Zoho Office Suite with Microsoft
SharePoint.
