SoftArtisans
SoftArtisans develops business intelligence software and mobile integration solutions for Microsoft and BlackBerry . The company has three products: SilverDust, which provides BlackBerry smartphone users with secure access to SharePoint content, OfficeWriter, a SQL-based Microsoft Office reporting solution, and FileUp, an HTTP file upload service. SoftArtisans made the Deloitte & Touche's Technology Fast 500 list in 2003 and 2005[1]. In 2007, Microsoft acquired all the intellectual property of OfficeWriter[2].
Products
SilverDust: SilverDust is a BlackBerry application for accessing SharePoint content. SilverDust allows users to participate in SharePoint workflows, review, edit, check in, and check out documents, manage company task lists, and access shared calendars. SilverDust users can securely access business data from anywhere that a mobile connection is available. Because SilverDust is a native BlackBerry application and does not use a web browser, its users have access to SharePoint content in both online and offline modes.[3]
OfficeWriter: OfficeWriter enables the design, publishing, and delivery of reports directly from Microsoft Excel and Word using SQL Server Reporting Services or ASP.NET[4]. The service employs hot cell technology to allow users to create a rich Excel front by modifying client-side reports[5]. OfficeWriter is designed for high-scale server use and does not require Microsoft Office on the server.
FileUp: FileUp is an HTTP file transfer service that allows web developers to upload and download multi-gigabyte files and applications. FileUp transmits files of any format from a local hard disk to a server running Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) or to a separate file server that is networked to the Web server.[6]
Partnerships
SoftArtisans is a RIM BlackBerry Elite Alliance member and Microsoft partner.
