abiertas</title><content type='html'>Con el paso del huracán María, ha sido sumamente importante poder tener información actualizada de las sucursales que estén abiertas. El grupo de Popular ha estado publicando diariamente una lista de sucursales abiertas en &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/pg/popular/posts/&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  2. &lt;br /&gt;
  3. Para facilitar la localización de estas sucursales, una idea es que sería mejor poder visualizarlas en un Google Map. Para hacer esto, escribí un programa en Node.js que básicamente coge la información del último post de Facebook, y hace un &quot;cross-reference&quot; con la información disponible en el &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://locator.popular.com/?lang=es&amp;amp;_ga=2.63956327.970461285.1506954502-1453582690.1489280005&quot;&gt;Branch Locator&lt;/a&gt;&quot; de la página de Popular. Esto es necesario porque ahí está la latitud y longitud de cada sucursal abierta.&lt;br /&gt;
  4. &lt;br /&gt;
  5. Este es el resultado final:&lt;br /&gt;
  6. &lt;br /&gt;
  7. &lt;iframe height=&quot;480&quot; src=&quot;https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1LD36dIHyXOjfDxwceomkksEOVj4&quot; width=&quot;640&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  8. &lt;br /&gt;
  9. Para los que son &quot;techies&quot; y les interesa saber como funciona el código, aquí les incluyo unos screenshots. Como ven, el código es bastante sencillo y me tomó como 20 minutos poder tenerlo todo listo:&lt;br /&gt;
  10. &lt;br /&gt;
  11. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  12. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhUGBgh2TFCXITOEQpnKoEYEku3FjRWjvgCkvPQeZmLhSXefed1sniKAAhO6Ouih1vLjEhuCooedkNjeh9p2xPVS8mf_40_73ukb8wDmybscYu6Pof3ViBdyfH9rug7O4BFzZ3kHavKw/s1600/app_js.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;892&quot; data-original-width=&quot;886&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhUGBgh2TFCXITOEQpnKoEYEku3FjRWjvgCkvPQeZmLhSXefed1sniKAAhO6Ouih1vLjEhuCooedkNjeh9p2xPVS8mf_40_73ukb8wDmybscYu6Pof3ViBdyfH9rug7O4BFzZ3kHavKw/s640/app_js.png&quot; width=&quot;633&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  13. &lt;br /&gt;
  14. Una vez se crea la data, el próximo paso es subirlo a Google Maps. Esta parte es bastante sencilla. Con un CSV ya creado, vas a &lt;a href=&quot;http://google.com/mymaps&quot;&gt;http://google.com/mymaps&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;y de ahí creas un mapa nuevo. En el mapa creas un &quot;layer&quot; nuevo, y le das a Import para importar la data del CSV y &quot;pa fuera&quot;! &amp;nbsp;:)&lt;br /&gt;

The other day I wanted to set up an example of a dashboard with sentiment coming from Twitter around a keyword.&lt;br /&gt;
  16. &lt;br /&gt;
  17. To keep things simple, I used &lt;a href=&quot;http://ifttt.com/&quot;&gt;IFTTT&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href=&quot;https://ifttt.com/applets/122162p-collect-all-your-tweets-with-a-specific-hashtag-in-a-google-spreadsheet&quot;&gt;export tweets to a CSV file&lt;/a&gt;. With that I could then use &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ibm.com/watson/&quot;&gt;Watson&lt;/a&gt;&#39;s libraries to measure sentiment. To start, I created a new trial account on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/bluemix/&quot;&gt;BlueMix&lt;/a&gt;. Once there, go to &lt;b&gt;Services&lt;/b&gt; -&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Watson&lt;/b&gt; -&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Create Watson service&lt;/b&gt;. Once there pick &lt;a href=&quot;https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/services/natural-language-understanding?env_id=ibm:yp:us-south&amp;amp;taxonomyNavigation=watson&quot;&gt;Natural Language Understanding&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and it will create an instance of the service. This Watson service helps to make sense out of pretty much any text.&lt;br /&gt;
  18. &lt;br /&gt;
  19. The screen should look like this:&lt;br /&gt;
  20. &lt;br /&gt;
  21. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  22. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtx_DwKdkh5NCAoHNx9nyH5DNwIND4BGIvwmEC6FjCmcbOEpc4y8HdJqfz2V1OvR7QjocqAxZVPbOyGjQlA1wpayS4ovhbLPB5KxPv3OYX5bhyhn81hVywEZCduLwKtgZmtlkMPZpUJU/s1600/4637Natural_Language_Understanding_-_IBM_Bluemix.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;453&quot; data-original-width=&quot;900&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtx_DwKdkh5NCAoHNx9nyH5DNwIND4BGIvwmEC6FjCmcbOEpc4y8HdJqfz2V1OvR7QjocqAxZVPbOyGjQlA1wpayS4ovhbLPB5KxPv3OYX5bhyhn81hVywEZCduLwKtgZmtlkMPZpUJU/s400/4637Natural_Language_Understanding_-_IBM_Bluemix.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  23. &lt;br /&gt;
  24. &lt;br /&gt;
  25. With the tweets now in a CSV and Watson at the ready, it was time to put the pieces together with node.js. I took advantage of the following node.js libraries: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mafintosh/csv-parser&quot;&gt;csv-parser&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv-write-stream&quot;&gt;csv-write-stream&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/node-sdk&quot;&gt;watson-developer-cloud&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  26. &lt;br /&gt;
  27. Let me walk through the code (which I&#39;ll put on Github soon). First, import and setup the libraries (you get the Watson credentials directly from Bluemix and my preference is to store them as environment variables):&lt;br /&gt;
  28. &lt;br /&gt;
  29. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  30. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlfkzm3VcP4zyjHVmx2ko7-t5hnW241sh-1VbtXUnl3PZLihQgYZnME29pFPe3n9YkES3plCsEpumq8x15CquIfiMjRN1dBRnLLX7XlYPiBiek0_zjGg9x-Vf0pCyioMrkL2GwjI3YH-k/s1600/362nodejs_imports.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;258&quot; data-original-width=&quot;900&quot; height=&quot;113&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlfkzm3VcP4zyjHVmx2ko7-t5hnW241sh-1VbtXUnl3PZLihQgYZnME29pFPe3n9YkES3plCsEpumq8x15CquIfiMjRN1dBRnLLX7XlYPiBiek0_zjGg9x-Vf0pCyioMrkL2GwjI3YH-k/s400/362nodejs_imports.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  31. &lt;br /&gt;
  32. Next, read the CSV, parse it, measure it and write a new CSV out all with this one line of code:&lt;br /&gt;
  33. &lt;br /&gt;
  34. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  35. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Rq0SP1xXBafwKGp_CV_wS0cQfNKDfzddhTADUPkZ1CW89f6VWJu_q4J0Wefw9PUQcRCLYrnbrpj1YbIJnw7VQbvPINmHrmwd9d7zlRBVafLIrZT6gMbwBxT5MQwYExW61Ppq5flI5d8/s1600/4937read-parse-write.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;243&quot; data-original-width=&quot;900&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Rq0SP1xXBafwKGp_CV_wS0cQfNKDfzddhTADUPkZ1CW89f6VWJu_q4J0Wefw9PUQcRCLYrnbrpj1YbIJnw7VQbvPINmHrmwd9d7zlRBVafLIrZT6gMbwBxT5MQwYExW61Ppq5flI5d8/s320/4937read-parse-write.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  36. &lt;br /&gt;
  37. The function &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;&quot;&gt;sentimentFromWatson&lt;/span&gt; is key above. That function takes advantage of the Watson library already available. Here&#39;s what that function looks like:&lt;br /&gt;
  38. &lt;br /&gt;
  39. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  40. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKReqENwr5dG4VkV4ad2TPgjdI3ilKpx0jAt1fwZL-EJyVo8Wu5UG-4bHd-RA6QDL-0YbZhhf33f25ISgtAEiJtrj7_42VxEoLxayPOcSMxYgjH_a96velZUWN04epR7hPy-_UgmrFOAQ/s1600/9169sentimentFromWatson.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;794&quot; data-original-width=&quot;900&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKReqENwr5dG4VkV4ad2TPgjdI3ilKpx0jAt1fwZL-EJyVo8Wu5UG-4bHd-RA6QDL-0YbZhhf33f25ISgtAEiJtrj7_42VxEoLxayPOcSMxYgjH_a96velZUWN04epR7hPy-_UgmrFOAQ/s400/9169sentimentFromWatson.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  41. &lt;br /&gt;
  42. And that&#39;s it! In total, you have a quick sample in 20-30 lines of code to measure sentiment from Twitter. Below is the graphic that I created. In a span of a weekend, the keyword that I was monitoring had some positive tweets and others that were negative. Overall, that weekend was pretty neutral.&lt;br /&gt;

  49. &lt;br /&gt;
  50. Overall, this took me about 30 minutes to put together and a bit of troubleshooting.

At the new gig, one of my responsibilities is to drive the implementation and adoption of Office 365 -- one of the various initiatives in moving to the cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
  51. &lt;br /&gt;
  52. I&#39;m still in the process of collecting data and measuring the adoption within the organization. Thus, wanted to start with my own experience and document my growing pains so far. One of the first things that I noticed is the breakout of apps and getting used to when to use what. For example for chats, I could do 1:1 messages over Skype, Teams, Yammer, and of course email. To see what&#39;s going on across the organization, I could use Newsfeed, Yammer, or Delve. &amp;nbsp;To keep track of tasks, I could use Planner, Tasks, or OneNote. There&#39;s a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.2tolead.com/whitepaper-when-to-use-what-in-office-365/&quot;&gt;60-page white paper that explains when to use what&lt;/a&gt;, but this seems like a big area for Microsoft to look at consolidating.&lt;br /&gt;
  53. &lt;div&gt;
  54. &lt;br /&gt;
  55. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  56. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrybHUOOpdBUUQSeRKOpdwors1p7l-gZ3GYZ62AzUaGhLUuoVoE7szA5eOFTrSzGoqDANI64CxtfAEK79im6yH-G9C1DJfgQpD9k22GOvLDdT0RYfN-Fh0K58fvluBVWlw7EOy2GOSOTU/s1600/Microsoft_Office_Home.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;284&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrybHUOOpdBUUQSeRKOpdwors1p7l-gZ3GYZ62AzUaGhLUuoVoE7szA5eOFTrSzGoqDANI64CxtfAEK79im6yH-G9C1DJfgQpD9k22GOvLDdT0RYfN-Fh0K58fvluBVWlw7EOy2GOSOTU/s640/Microsoft_Office_Home.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  57. &lt;br /&gt;
  58. So here&#39;s my experience so far with some of these apps.&lt;/div&gt;
  59. &lt;div&gt;
  60. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  61. &lt;div&gt;
  62. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Outlook&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  63. &lt;div&gt;
  64. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  65. &lt;div&gt;
  66. After using Notes/Verse for about 15 years, the transition to Outlook was &quot;interesting&quot;. I do like the meeting forward feature. Makes it easy to get others added to an invite, instead of having to ask the meeting owner to add others. Of course, it&#39;s also happened where people I&#39;ve invited to a meeting have forwarded the invite to others without my consent 😁. I also like scheduling Skype meeting directly from within Outlook.&lt;br /&gt;
  67. &lt;br /&gt;
  68. Here&#39;s a few things I struggled with (in no particular order):&lt;/div&gt;
  69. &lt;div&gt;
  70. &lt;ul&gt;
  71. &lt;li&gt;Getting used to &lt;b&gt;tons of open windows&lt;/b&gt; - in Notes, emails opened within the same app by default and it didn&#39;t clutter your desktop. In Outlook (at least on Mac) there&#39;s windows everywhere!&lt;/li&gt;
  72. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Distribution lists&lt;/b&gt; - there doesn&#39;t seem to be a way to build my own public distribution lists. They have the concept of Groups, but emails sent to a Group doesn&#39;t come into the inbox, it goes to another separate inbox so people miss them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  73. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Delegation&lt;/b&gt; - I was used to easily delegating meetings to other people. Within Outlook, I need to forward an invitation, and then decline the invite so the person knows I&#39;m not going.&lt;/li&gt;
  74. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emojis&lt;/b&gt; - This may be a simple one, but for some reason the emojis seem to get lost when sending/receiving messages. A happy face, for example, is converted to J . It took me a while to figure out why people were putting J&#39;s in their emails. 😉&lt;/li&gt;
  75. &lt;/ul&gt;
  76. &lt;div&gt;
  77. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Skype&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  78. &lt;/div&gt;
  79. &lt;div&gt;
  80. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  81. &lt;div&gt;
  82. This is one that I&#39;ve struggled with the most. At the end of the day, &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Why-do-I-see-Skype-for-Business-when-I-m-using-Lync-50935112-4978-46b8-b2ad-9dd7b81365bf&quot;&gt;Skype for Business is the same Lync client&lt;/a&gt;, just re-branded so that&#39;s probably why the experience is not the best. I was expecting the actual consumer version of Skype. My pain points:&lt;br /&gt;
  83. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  84. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  85. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCSIBa-efnTwBadEiAv9LbFlbgtkvl3McHH2ZUvcjgrpuxo0g65gDOS11A8Pb26H6_RaSA79nPJNwWIDCXsutXCsorCIxfKjWELL5C_vZYSvqb8ryN2QgSmDHAnFynR6wUwGe3K7zzBk/s1600/Skype_for_Business_and_Blogger__Socialize_Me_-_Create_post_and_Inbox_%25E2%2580%25A2_Popular.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;542&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCSIBa-efnTwBadEiAv9LbFlbgtkvl3McHH2ZUvcjgrpuxo0g65gDOS11A8Pb26H6_RaSA79nPJNwWIDCXsutXCsorCIxfKjWELL5C_vZYSvqb8ryN2QgSmDHAnFynR6wUwGe3K7zzBk/s640/Skype_for_Business_and_Blogger__Socialize_Me_-_Create_post_and_Inbox_%25E2%2580%25A2_Popular.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  86. &lt;div&gt;
  87. &lt;ul&gt;
  88. &lt;li&gt;I have a million &quot;conversations&quot; with the same person (see above). This seems to be &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.skypefeedback.com/forums/299913-generally-available/filters/top&quot;&gt;the biggest pain point that Skype for Business&lt;/a&gt; users are reporting. This is &lt;b&gt;horrible&lt;/b&gt; as the conversation for some crazy reason is broken into multiple chats. Notice above how my conversation with Mara, which happened in a span of 20 minutes, is broken into 3 different conversations. Thus, when I&#39;m trying to find what one person and I talked about, I have to dig through multiple conversations to find what I need. Ugh!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://teams.microsoft.com/&quot;&gt;Microsoft Teams&lt;/a&gt; 1:1 chat addresses this. Similarly, Sametime, a contact was just a contact and it was a lot simpler to browse the chat history.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  89. &lt;li&gt;I can&#39;t &lt;b&gt;paste images&lt;/b&gt; into a conversation - this seems to be a Mac limitation&lt;/li&gt;
  90. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Video calls&lt;/b&gt; are flaky - Microsoft Teams has been better in my experience so far&lt;/li&gt;
  91. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Missed conversations emails&lt;/b&gt; - An interesting feature that Skype has is that if you &quot;miss&quot; a conversation, you get an email alerting you. However, it&#39;s happened way too much that I&#39;m online and connected and engaged, and yet somehow I get an email that I missed a conversation when I really didn&#39;t.&lt;/li&gt;
  92. &lt;/ul&gt;
  93. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Teams&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  94. &lt;div&gt;
  95. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  96. &lt;div&gt;
  97. Teams is the latest app that Microsoft has added to Office 365. It competes with the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;https://slack.com/&quot;&gt;Slack&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://workspace.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Watson Workspace&lt;/a&gt;. I decided to give Teams a try and get my team engaged in it. One of the capabilities that I like is the integrated Planner module where I&#39;ve built kanban boards to keep track of high level project status.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  98. &lt;div&gt;
  99. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  100. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  101. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWx8t9qNHnuF2f-0_UKFiyXimINQUdMR9fU3ED4EtL7P7dZdo27IcEsklFfvu5mqqgo1YnbG05HN-IyTDF_fJ_JtZXLv_qY7aa3VDJ3BBg8VtZIX86JCQZR7RgwHzfFd8HblSvnCMe52g/s1600/Office_365_-_Core_Team_-_Planner.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;316&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWx8t9qNHnuF2f-0_UKFiyXimINQUdMR9fU3ED4EtL7P7dZdo27IcEsklFfvu5mqqgo1YnbG05HN-IyTDF_fJ_JtZXLv_qY7aa3VDJ3BBg8VtZIX86JCQZR7RgwHzfFd8HblSvnCMe52g/s640/Office_365_-_Core_Team_-_Planner.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  102. &lt;div&gt;
  103. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  104. &lt;div&gt;
  105. The integrated video meeting experience is really great as well, in fact, I like it a lot more than the Skype for Business experience. You can take a &quot;typed&quot; conversation to a &quot;visual&quot; conversation very easily and still remain in context.&lt;/div&gt;
  106. &lt;div&gt;
  107. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  108. &lt;div&gt;
  109. Some improvements I would like to see:&lt;/div&gt;
  110. &lt;div&gt;
  111. &lt;ul&gt;
  112. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Planner on mobile&lt;/b&gt; - Right now, the Teams mobile app for iOS doesn&#39;t allow me to see/manage tasks on mobile. Also, &lt;a href=&quot;http://tasks.office.com/&quot;&gt;Planner&lt;/a&gt; on Teams doesn&#39;t work well with the standalone Planner app in Office 365. New tasks/boards created in Teams don&#39;t show up in the Planner hub forcing me to check two different places for a consolidated view.&lt;/li&gt;
  113. &lt;li&gt;Stability for the&lt;b&gt; desktop app on Mac&lt;/b&gt; - The desktop app for Mac is built on &lt;a href=&quot;https://electron.atom.io/&quot;&gt;Electron&lt;/a&gt; so at the end of the day it&#39;s just a web browser wrapped in a rich desktop app. For some reason, it&#39;s still very flaky. For example, when I switch to the Planner tab in a team, it seems to hang. Other times, the app doesn&#39;t start correctly and I&#39;ve had to re-install several times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  114. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Native notifications&lt;/b&gt; - as notifications come in, Microsoft doesn&#39;t seem to be using native notifications on Mac OS X so if I step out and come back, I can&#39;t see what I missed within Notification Center&lt;/li&gt;
  115. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Threaded replies usability&lt;/b&gt; - We are still getting used to threaded replies. Right now, it seems very confusing as sometimes people reply to the thread and other times they just reply as a new message. At the same time, when a new reply comes in to a thread, it moves within the conversation and it breaks the flow of other conversations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  116. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Awareness usability&lt;/b&gt; - Notifications don&#39;t seem to be reliable at the moment as the team constantly reports that they miss out on new activity and since things move around in the conversation, it makes it hard to understand when someone will get notified of a new message.&amp;nbsp;@mentions seem to be the best way to drive awareness of new content.&lt;/li&gt;
  117. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Single version of the truth&lt;/b&gt; - sharing a OneDrive file into a Team creates another copy of the file and saves it in the Team&#39;s file repository. This makes it complicated as now we have to manage two copies of the file and manually keep them in sync. Ideally, sharing a OneDrive file into the team, gives the team access to the file providing a single version of the truth.&lt;/li&gt;
  118. &lt;/ul&gt;
  119. &lt;/div&gt;
  120. &lt;div&gt;
  121. I also like some of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public&quot;&gt;top ideas requested by users for Teams&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
  122. &lt;div&gt;
  123. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  124. &lt;div&gt;
  125. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;OneDrive for Business&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  126. &lt;div&gt;
  127. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  128. &lt;div&gt;
  129. It looks like Microsoft has been &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.office.com/en-us/article/New-OneDrive-sync-client-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0#mac&quot;&gt;improving their OneDrive client recently&lt;/a&gt;. I&#39;ve been able to sync my personal OneDrive and SharePoint sites to my Mac seamlessly. Some things could still be improved:&lt;/div&gt;
  130. &lt;div&gt;
  131. &lt;ul&gt;
  132. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sharing files from desktop &lt;/b&gt;- I&#39;m used to right-clicking on a file and being able to share a file with a colleague. With OneDrive, you are forced to open a browser, log in, find the file and then share it from there. &lt;a href=&quot;http://ibmcloud.com/social&quot;&gt;IBM Connections&lt;/a&gt;, Box, and others have had this for a long time so Microsoft is behind on this one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  133. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cloud file sync &lt;/b&gt;improvements&amp;nbsp;- From within PowerPoint, Excel and Word, you can share a file with others, BUT not if you open the file directly from Finder. You need to again, open a browser, log in, find the file and choose &quot;Edit in PowerPoint&quot; (for example) so that the file opens from the cloud. It would be a lot better if PowerPoint detected that I&#39;m opening a file from Finder that&#39;s being already synced to OneDrive/SharePoint.&lt;/li&gt;
  134. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Copy link to OneDrive files&lt;/b&gt; - This is another one that kills me... Sometimes I&#39;m in a Skype or Teams chat and I want to paste a link to a file. I&#39;m used to right-clicking on a file directly from Finder and getting a link to a file. With OneDrive, I need to open a browser, log in, find the file, then copy the link to the file.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  135. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Finding files shared with me&lt;/b&gt; - There doesn&#39;t seem to be a view that shows me all files that I have access to. OneDrive has a &quot;Shared with Me&quot; view that only shows individual files where I&#39;ve been explicitly added as a viewer/editor. However, if a file is in folder I have access to (and hence I have implicit access), those files don&#39;t show up there. This makes it hard to go back to a file that I know I have access to, but don&#39;t know where it is...&lt;/li&gt;
  136. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Commenting on files&lt;/b&gt; - Unless I&#39;m doing something wrong, there doesn&#39;t seem to be a way where viewers can comment on files. Comments in OneDrive seem to be &quot;inside the file&quot; so therefore, you need to be editor to be able to edit the file and add comments inside the file. This is a flaw since I don&#39;t want people to edit files, just review and give me feedback. It would also be nice to &lt;i&gt;have&amp;nbsp;@mentions in file comments&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
  137. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;File update notifications&lt;/b&gt; - As my team works on files, I&#39;m not notified when they make updates to their files or mine. We end up pinging each other or emailing each other to let each other know when a new file update is ready for review.&lt;/li&gt;
  138. &lt;/ul&gt;
  139. &lt;div&gt;
  140. Surprisingly, none of these seem to be in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://onedrive.uservoice.com/forums/262982-onedrive/category/86090-onedrive-for-business&quot;&gt;top ideas for OneDrive for Business&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;
  141. &lt;/div&gt;
  142. &lt;div&gt;
  143. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  144. &lt;div&gt;
  145. ---&lt;/div&gt;
  146. &lt;div&gt;
  147. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  148. &lt;div&gt;
  149. I&#39;ll stop here since this is getting long and it&#39;s been quite a brain dump. I want to start playing more with Delve, SharePoint and others and will share more on those later!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  150. &lt;div&gt;
  151. &lt;ul&gt;

This demo is focused on the day of the life of sellers and how IBM Watson Workspace can make their life better. If you missed the breakout session hosted by Rob Ingram, Rishi Vaish and Alan Lepofsky at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www-01.ibm.com/software/events/wow/&quot;&gt;World of Watson&lt;/a&gt;, this is a good way to catch up.&lt;br /&gt;

  160. The video demonstrates how &lt;a href=&quot;https://workspace.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Watson Workspace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;uses its cognitive capabilities to get you the information you need in context without having to jump back and forth between multiple tools. In the scenario example, we show a sales manager asking his team for the top sales opportunities. Watson Workspace understands this question and knows where to go and get the information: Salesforce. The latest opportunities and their status are then brought directly in context. Then it&#39;s time to sign the contract. The goal for this demo (and the previous one) is that it shows all integrations that have been built with the &lt;a data-cke-saved-href=&quot;http://developer.watsonwork.ibm.com&quot; href=&quot;http://developer.watsonwork.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;APIs&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;exist&amp;nbsp;today&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  161. &lt;div&gt;

In this post I wanted to share some code samples that could help you get going in your development of apps for IBM Watson Workspace using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.watsonwork.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Watson Work Services and APIs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  218. &lt;br /&gt;
  219. I know many developers, including myself, learn a lot from code samples (probably more than using actual API documentation). So to build &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lbenitez.com/2016/11/building-apps-with-ibm-watson-work.html&quot;&gt;on my post&lt;/a&gt; from earlier this week, we have published the first 5 code samples into the &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/watsonwork&quot;&gt;Watson Work org in Github&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and there should be more posted this week and next. My samples are the &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/watsonwork/watsonwork-twitter&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/watsonwork/watsonwork-weather&quot;&gt;Weather&lt;/a&gt; apps. I built these as fully functioning apps that you can deploy to a server and get up and going in a few minutes. And once they are running, feel free to hack away!&lt;br /&gt;
  220. &lt;br /&gt;
  221. To make things simpler, I&#39;ve also included a &lt;b&gt;one-click button to deploy the app to Bluemix &lt;/b&gt;(which I thought was freaking cool how they make this possible). This, however, is not a required step. If you want to use with another cloud provider, by all means. Back to Bluemix, when you click the button, Bluemix pulls down the code from Github and magically gets it up and running.&lt;br /&gt;
  222. &lt;br /&gt;
  223. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  225. &lt;br /&gt;

  282. So that should give you an idea on how to listen to a conversation, act on it, and then respond back. I followed a similar flow to build the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/watsonwork/watsonwork-twitter&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; app and my hope is you can take it and hack it to build your own. &amp;nbsp;And if you are in the mood to help improve these samples, pull requests are welcome!&lt;br /&gt;
  283. &lt;br /&gt;
  284. Now definitely check out what &lt;a href=&quot;https://redbooth.com/blog/ibm-watson-workspace-integration&quot;&gt;Redbooth&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.rocketsoftware.com/2016/10/live-ibm-world-watson-putting-business-social/&quot;&gt;Rocket&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://opentopic.com/ibm-workspaces/&quot;&gt;OpenTopic&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.sapho.com/sapho-ibm-watson-workspace-collaboration-and-productivity-made-easy&quot;&gt;Sapho&lt;/a&gt; and others have done... VERY COOL! (and just to make it more enticing.. Sapho for example has Marketo and Google Adword integration... )&lt;br /&gt;

  290. &lt;br /&gt;
  291. Miguel Estrada, Joe Russo, and myself had a session at IBM World of Watson 2016 to talk about the capabilities of the platform. To recap, the idea of IBM Watson Work Services is to provide a platform that understands conversations in context. IBM Watson Workspace is a great example of what you can do with that platform since it&#39;s, well, built on the platform! In fact, you use the platform services to extend the IBM Watson Workspace app.&lt;br /&gt;
  292. &lt;br /&gt;
  293. As we worked towards the launch, we worked with various partners and developers who were interested in using these APIs. At the conference last week, we were able to show integration with Sapho, OpenTopic, Kenexa, DocuSign, Salesforce, Redbooth, Rocket, and more. &lt;br /&gt;
  294. &lt;br /&gt;
  295. Here are our slides:&lt;br /&gt;

  300. &lt;br /&gt;
  301. Now here&#39;s some good news. &amp;nbsp;I know a lot of developers learn from code samples and I&#39;m happy to announce that our first code samples are now available on Github:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/watsonwork&quot;&gt;http://github.com/watsonwork&lt;/a&gt;. Feel free to fork and contribute as well!&lt;br /&gt;
  302. &lt;br /&gt;
  303. When you are ready to start creating apps, head out to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://workspace.ibm.com/developer/apps&quot;&gt;https://workspace.ibm.com/developer/apps&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and you can start getting them registered there. Once you get them registered, go the settings for any space, and in the apps menu you&#39;ll be able to see your apps and add them to the space. It&#39;ll look something like this (those are 3 sample apps that I&#39;ve built and will be sharing in the GitHub link above):&lt;br /&gt;

  314. If you&#39;ve been following me for a while, you know I&#39;m a big fan of integrations, app dev, and platforms. Well, today I&#39;m happy to share the news that &lt;a href=&quot;http://workspace.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Watson Workspace&lt;/a&gt; works with &lt;a href=&quot;http://ifttt.com/&quot;&gt;IFTTT&lt;/a&gt;. In fact, it&#39;s the first IBM app to be part of the IFTTT ecosystem. If you are not familiar with IFTTT (that is IF This Then That), they make it super easy to connect the apps that you love together and configure what they call recipes. In other words, when something happens in one app, then do something in another app. IFTTT currently has 370+ apps in the catalog, so chances are that you can integrate with what you want (e.g. Box, Gmail, your car, you smart home devices and more!)&lt;br /&gt;
  315. &lt;br /&gt;
  316. To start creating your own integration with IFTTT, head out to: &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/MsNhhXnHeM&quot;&gt;ifttt.com/workspace&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;. Fist bump to the IFTTT team for helping share the news:&lt;br /&gt;

In that category there are two new offerings that will be available: &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.watsonwork.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Watson Work Services&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://workspace.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Watson Workspace&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;IBM Watson Workspace uses cognitive analytics to help users communicate with their teams and focus on key business outcomes. Teams now have a single space to manage all their work conversations and avoid information overload with smart summaries that highlight the most relevant actions and decisions so team members stay aligned and prioritize daily tasks quicker. This is what you may heard before as &lt;i&gt;Project Toscana&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  336. &lt;div&gt;
  337. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;cambria&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  338. &lt;b&gt;IBM Watson Workspace &lt;/b&gt;is built on a platform that we call &lt;b&gt;IBM Watson Work Services&lt;/b&gt;.  Watson Work Services provides a set of APIs built to help developers build apps that understand conversations and interpret user needs and intent using natural methods of communication.  Developers can use these to infuse Watson Work capabilities into existing work applications and products or accelerate differentiation when building new apps.  &lt;div&gt;
  339. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoCommentText&quot;&gt;
  340. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  341. &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  342. Here&#39;s an excerpt from the press release:&lt;br /&gt;
  343. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  344. Businesses today need to apply cognitive-powered productivity applications and services to digital content, conversations, and workflows to empower their employees with the ability to find, connect and work with the right experts; speed access to relevant content and insights; and provide the time and space to work simply and together.&lt;br /&gt;
  345. &lt;ul&gt;
  346. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://workspace.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Watson Workspace&lt;/a&gt; learns how an individual works and interacts, and consolidates multiple work conversations from various communications channels into a single space. Using Watson, the technology is able highlight the most urgent action items, point to the right content needed at the time, and automate everyday tasks so employees can focus on key business outcomes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  347. &lt;/ul&gt;
  348. &lt;ul&gt;
  349. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.watsonwork.ibm.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Watson Work Services&lt;/a&gt; are a set of cognitive APIs –Action Identification, Moment Identification, and Summarization – given to developers through the  &lt;a href=&quot;https://workspace.ibm.com/developer&quot;&gt;offering’s&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://workspace.ibm.com/developer&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; so they can infuse cognitive capabilities into existing work products and applications such as IBM Watson Workspace, third party applications, and when building new applications. The technology uses natural language classifiers that are pre-trained to identify key ‘actions, questions, decisions, and commitments in a conversation. It can analyze and disambiguate context to facilitate fulfillment of the next action. For example, if someone says: &quot;Great point –let&#39;s schedule a meeting to discuss further,&quot; the system can identify &#39;schedule a meeting&#39; as an action, and help the person find the best time to continue the conversation.&lt;/li&gt;
  350. &lt;/ul&gt;
  351. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  352. &lt;br /&gt;
  353. One of the cognitive capabilities &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;available today&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in the preview is called &quot;Moments&quot;. You know how painful it is to catch up when you&#39;ve been away from work on vacation, out for a meeting or just lunch. You come back to a mess of information, and the time you spend catching up, is time that you are falling behind. No more! With Moments, Watson gives you summaries of conversations (think of it like Cliff Notes!) and at a glance you can see what was talked about, who was engaged, the content that was shared, etc. In seconds, you are caught up and aligned with your team.&lt;br /&gt;

  358. &lt;br /&gt;
  359. Today, &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/inhicho&quot;&gt;Inhi Cho&lt;/a&gt;, GM for IBM Collaboration Solutions, takes the stage at 4pm PT to share more about this announcement and it will be live streamed! And I get the opportunity to walk the audience through the flow. If you want to watch the live stream today, head out at 4PM PT to:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ibmgo.com/wow16/session/NhtQjL5BRJGM4FJqC&quot;&gt;https://ibmgo.com/wow16/session/NhtQjL5BRJGM4FJqC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  363. &lt;br /&gt;
  364. &lt;br /&gt;
  365. IBM Watson Workspace (aka WW aka &quot;dubdub&quot; as the cool kids would say) is currently invite-only. &amp;nbsp;All &lt;a href=&quot;https://www-01.ibm.com/software/events/wow/&quot;&gt;IBM World of Watson attendees&lt;/a&gt; have access to IBM Watson Workspace. They can just log in with their IBM ID/password that they used to register for the conference. Those attendees can invite as many people as they wish, and those in turn can also invite others. So if you don&#39;t have an invite yet, find someone that attended the conference so they can hook you up.&lt;br /&gt;

  394. So what&#39;s going to happen at World of Watson? First, let&#39;s start with &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/Imaginedragons?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor&quot;&gt;Imagine Dragons&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span _fromclip=&quot;id_a4f8fa1a3ca7&quot;&gt;Grammy award-winning rockers and Las Vegas hometown heroes Imagine Dragons will perform exclusively for World of Watson attendees. Following their multi-platin&lt;/span&gt;um debut album ‘Night Visions,’&amp;nbsp;the alt-rock group has been playing sold out arenas all over the world. Their sophomore album ‘Smoke + Mirrors’ debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, and their music videos have amassed over 1 billion views on YouTube.&lt;br /&gt;

  398. &lt;br /&gt;
  399. Next, of course, there&#39;s the sessions. A can&#39;t miss session will be on Wednesday with IBM CEO, Ginni Rometty.&lt;br /&gt;

  403. &lt;br /&gt;
  404. I&#39;ve put together a list so you can see what&#39;s being covered by the IBM Collaboration Solutions team. One that stands out to me is the title for &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/inhicho&quot;&gt;Inhi&#39;s&lt;/a&gt; keynote on Tuesday at 1p. &amp;nbsp;She&#39;s promising magic and I&#39;m not going to miss it!&lt;br /&gt;
  405. &lt;br /&gt;
  406. We will also be sharing an update on Project Toscana. The teams are all heads down and hard at work on Project Toscana. As you can see below, I&#39;ll be leading a session on the Platform and APIs and will be sharing how you can start using them right at the conference. &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/rishivaish&quot;&gt;Rishi Vaish&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/robscotingram&quot;&gt;Rob Ingram&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;will also be sharing the latest with Project Toscana.&lt;br /&gt;

  623. Originally published at:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.workflowotg.com/read/current-issue/792-the-office-of-the-future-0916&quot;&gt;http://www.workflowotg.com/read/current-issue/792-the-office-of-the-future-0916&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(re-posting here)&lt;/div&gt;
  624. &lt;hr dir=&quot;ltr&quot; /&gt;
  625. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  626. The workplace is changing. Although the physical office can still be a place of productivity and collaboration, companies are empowering the individual worker by providing all the tools necessary to be a valuable member of the organization from any corner of the globe. Today’s workforce is becoming increasingly flexible, mobile, and even global in nature — virtual collaboration is at the center of the workplace and shaping the way businesses operate now and for the foreseeable future.&lt;/div&gt;
  627. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  628. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  629. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  630. The strong influence mobility has had on the workplace can be found at the epicenter of this shift. As smartphones and tablets have become rooted in our personal lives, workers have found these devices to be beneficial in facilitating their work responsibilities as well. As a result, many employers have embraced the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend to foster collaboration among employees outside the office. The introduction of mobile devices in the workplace has deeply affected the way people work as they increasingly rely on their personal smartphone and tablet for email, note-taking, and video conferencing. Since BYOD policies have allowed workers the flexibility to conduct regular business from even the most far-reaching areas around the world, the need to confine work between the four walls of an office has decreased, depending on the company, driving further adoption among telecommuters.&lt;/div&gt;
  631. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  632. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  633. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  634. &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.simply-communicate.com/sites/default/files/futureofwork.png&quot; style=&quot;float: left; height: 225px; width: 300px;&quot; /&gt;The same factors that are driving companies to downsize their physical office spaces has resulted in the rise of temporary contractors as an alternative to full-time employees, thereby creating the need for secure collaboration apps with functionality spanning across corporate firewalls. Advances in mobility and Internet-based technologies have enabled employers to connect with individuals willing to work on a short-term basis without needing to be located within the same time zone. By breaking down the geographic boundaries that have historically limited organizations to a select pool of qualified candidates, mobile&amp;nbsp;devices and collaboration apps now allow independent employees to hit the ground running and remain connected to their working groups from anywhere in the world. The opportunity for employers and hiring managers is compelling, as the potential size of talent pools multiplies significantly.&amp;nbsp;In fact, a recent study surveying more than 33,000 workers in 26 countries found that contractors are more engaged and more innovative than regular employees.&lt;/div&gt;
  635. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  636. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  637. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  638. In the office of the future, the evolution of technology allows the workplace to become increasingly virtualized. Within a virtualized environment, cloud is the most important ingredient to help businesses automate processes, simplify content, and facilitate workflows by providing a centralized, secure infrastructure for collaborative solutions. In addition, in past years there were only a select few enterprise-ready devices with applications for business collaboration – most notably, BlackBerry devices. Now, there are a wide array of devices offering improved functionalities to drive productivity and reduce the need for multiple machines.&lt;/div&gt;
  639. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  640. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  641. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  642. With cloud becoming a key enabler of the virtual office and open to all organizations, small-and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have benefited greatly from cloud by operating with the same top-notch software as their larger peers. In the early 2000s, collaboration tools were catered to companies running software on-premises, namely large organizations with significant IT budgets and footprints. Now, in large part because of the prevalence of the cloud, SMBs are getting more value from cloud-based vendors. In fact, Jim Deters, founder of Galvanize, famously said, &lt;em&gt;“Two guys in a Starbucks can have access to the same computing power as a Fortune 500 company.”&lt;/em&gt; As more collaboration apps have evolved to cater towards the burgeoning cloud-first mentality among corporates, SMBs now are back in the game and able to leverage the same apps that enterprises are utilizing to drive their own process efficiencies. Since SMBs can procure first-class collaboration, the IT playing field continues to equalize across the size spectrum, thereby allowing smaller organizations to focus on their core competencies. As a result, large enterprises are forced to find new ways to innovate and remain nimble to thwart off potential competitive threats from smaller and more agile businesses.&lt;/div&gt;
  643. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  644. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  645. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  646. Cognitive computing also offers a significant advantage that many have not yet tapped. Collaboration apps such as instant messaging are fundamental in helping employees sync up with each other but can also have a downside: creating too many interruptions.&lt;/div&gt;
  647. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  648. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  649. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  650. Can cognitive help reduce the interruptions? Today’s workers are interrupted every three minutes on average, and it takes about 23 minutes to refocus, causing a potentially endless loop of being unproductive. To address this pain point, for example, IBM is facilitating the development of information-empowered workforces by infusing cognitive into its collaboration tools to help people work together in more intuitive ways. One of the ways to achieve this is to streamline and collapse all the apps into one collaboration solution so workers can address the action items that matter in an efficient manner.&lt;/div&gt;
  651. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  652. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  653. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  654. A frequently overlooked source of interruption is unnecessary noise arising from workers’ email inboxes. Take a practical example: end users often receive multiple emails a day containing the same question. Adopting a system that can understand the question and offer the same answer to the same question automatically would reduce the amount of time a worker would spend on addressing redundant messages so they can focus on the important tasks. With society producing vast amounts of data – too much for the human brain to handle – the key to harnessing its full potential is to build cognitive-infused tools. A growing consortium of businesses recognizing the potential of untapped data has driven a major increase in the use of analytics within the workplace. Widely used to predict everything from supply chain cycles to customer buying habits, analytics are even powering tools and apps to help workers understand priorities of their tasks by reducing noise. Automation, however, when abused, can actually make workers counterproductive by creating excessive noise. As more and more capabilities become automated, there is a surge in the quantum of notifications. Automation needs to be properly managed; therefore, we need to think about it as a form of machine intelligence to keep the information moving seamlessly.&lt;/div&gt;
  655. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  656. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  657. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  658. In truth, the virtualized workspace is not a one-size fits all solution. Employers need to customize environments and policies for their teams by leveraging free trials and capabilities to assess what does and what does not work for their organization. Another thing to keep in mind is resisting the urge to adopt too many apps, which may end up making employees counterproductive and create too many silos of information. A good rule of thumb in choosing a beneficial collaboration solution is to keep in mind and evaluate how one app mixes the collaboration ingredients, or the “Cs”: context, content, conversation, colleagues, and commitments.&lt;/div&gt;
  659. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  660. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  661. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  662. &lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/hmhR3G5EjtY&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  663. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  664. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  665. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
  666. There is a lot of promise in the concept of information-driven workforces. Companies that are able to leverage analytics are one step closer to successfully building a more collaborative and informed workforce. We are in the midst of great advances in making our workforce more connected, and collaboration tools have been at the core of this technological and cultural transformation. The next step is bringing analytics to the table to serve a dual purpose: help free up individual workers to dedicate time to more pressing and demanding work streams, as well as drive enhanced productivity within the team by identifying optimal division of labor and assessing project status and improvements. All the data is there – it is simply a matter of being able to leverage it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  667. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;

IBM Connections provides a comprehensive set of quantitative and qualitative metrics that help measure the business value of IBM Connections in your organization.Metrics in IBM Connections allows community managers or System Admins view information on how users are participating on Connections, the content in Connections, and how people are visiting different portions of the product. &lt;br /&gt;
  711. &lt;br /&gt;
  712. Community owners or managers need the ability to monitor the adoption and participation in their community. The Community Metrics component lets owners see metrics based on users, participation within the community, and content in the community. Additionally there are metrics for each application within a community under ‘All Metrics.&lt;br /&gt;
  713. &lt;br /&gt;
  714. Here&#39;s a quick 3 minute demo that I created so you can see how it works.&lt;br /&gt;
  715. &lt;div&gt;
  716. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  719. &lt;div&gt;
  720. &lt;br /&gt;
  721. Equivalent functionality is available for the org admins to see metrics at the global level across all communities deployed in the system.&lt;/div&gt;

  727. Today I wanted to highlight &lt;a href=&quot;http://videobio.com/&quot;&gt;VideoBio&lt;/a&gt; who have built a very nice solution to allow users to quickly share video messages with others.&lt;br /&gt;
  728. &lt;br /&gt;
  729. So how does it work? First, you can go to your profile, or someone else&#39;s profile and click on the VideoBio button.&lt;br /&gt;

  733. &lt;br /&gt;
  734. &lt;br /&gt;
  735. After recording the demo, it&#39;s automatically shared with your IBM Connections network and you can optionally choose to share via Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and more.!&lt;br /&gt;

  747. &lt;br /&gt;
  748. To start off, community managers and administrators have access to even more metrics. &amp;nbsp;If you are an organization administrator, you can easily see how your user base is getting business value out of IBM Connections. For example, you can track Connections Cloud events such as every time that a user reads a blog entry, creates a To do item in an Activity, updates a wiki page, or follows a Community. You can drill down on one application or a particular time period. You can set filters to track how many people viewed a blog in the Customer Support Community in the last seven days, last four weeks, last quarter, or last 12 months.&lt;br /&gt;
  749. &lt;br /&gt;
  750. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  751. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8QSpq40Kc1USUUacucaWSMz3iqUTVSf-fQQkJPOETRKkkdCiGYdEeu_-a9Se_YSxIR5Bwgw2mJh3ywVRMtUtL3kn7NrQQBGd1yF9QGjgEJaCWOg4gU5GAz8m-O_ZP01vbBrVSJE-aDCw/s1600/Community_Metrics_-_IBM_Connections_Cloud.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8QSpq40Kc1USUUacucaWSMz3iqUTVSf-fQQkJPOETRKkkdCiGYdEeu_-a9Se_YSxIR5Bwgw2mJh3ywVRMtUtL3kn7NrQQBGd1yF9QGjgEJaCWOg4gU5GAz8m-O_ZP01vbBrVSJE-aDCw/s1600/Community_Metrics_-_IBM_Connections_Cloud.png&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  752. &lt;br /&gt;
  753. &lt;br /&gt;
  754. Community owners can also get metrics only on the communities that they own. Track who visits the community, information shared such as comments, and participation in such activities as downloading files.&lt;br /&gt;
  755. &lt;br /&gt;
  756. In an upcoming release this quarter IBM is also going to be releasing some significant enhancements to search. &amp;nbsp;Want to learn more and see what else is coming in the rest of Q2 for IBM Connections &amp;amp; IBM Docs? Then check out this deck:&lt;br /&gt;

Then at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lbenitez.com/2016/02/from-ibm-connect-2016-xpages-app-built.html&quot;&gt;IBM Connect, XPages on Bluemix was featured during the keynote&lt;/a&gt; where a quick app was built integrated with Watson to quickly tag / categorize images using the Watson Image Analyzer service.&lt;br /&gt;
  767. &lt;br /&gt;
  768. So in case you missed it, earlier this week, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/2016/05/04/xpages-for-bluemix-now-generally-available/&quot;&gt;XPages runtime for IBM Bluemix went from Beta to full release&lt;/a&gt;, generally available.&lt;br /&gt;
  769. &lt;br /&gt;
  770. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  771. &lt;a href=&quot;https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2016/01/xpages_hero-300x120.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2016/01/xpages_hero-300x120.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  772. &lt;br /&gt;
  773. This allows developers already familiar with the XPages framework to leverage the power of IBM Bluemix to quickly build powerful apps in the cloud, possibly integrated with other Bluemix services (like Watson). For added security, you can connect to your existing user directory for ID management.&lt;br /&gt;
  774. &lt;br /&gt;
  775. It&#39;s now been a couple of days and it&#39;s been great to see the reaction over Twitter and other social channels.&lt;br /&gt;

  778. &lt;br /&gt;
  779. &lt;br /&gt;If you still haven&#39;t seen XPages, To help get you up to speed on developing XPages applications on Bluemix, here is a list of videos we have published in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

I&#39;ll cover some of the updates here and will start with Mac since that&#39;s what I use.&lt;br /&gt;
  788. &lt;div&gt;
  789. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  790. &lt;div&gt;
  791. In this release, the context menu in Finder has been updated to streamline access to the IBM Connections actions. Now, when you right click on a synced file, you can see when it was last synced, share with individuals or groups, lock/unlock, modify metadata and more. Here&#39;s a snapshot of how it looks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  792. &lt;div&gt;
  793. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  794. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  798. &lt;div&gt;
  799. &lt;br /&gt;
  800. &lt;br /&gt;
  801. For those of you in Windows, we have improved the experience when saving files directly to IBM Connections from Microsoft Office. From the Save As menu within Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) it&#39;ll be a lot easier to pick where specifically you want to store files (e.g. in what Folder, what Community, etc). See the screenshot below. And don&#39;t forget, when editing files, you can have round trip editing of files with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lbenitez.com/2016/01/check-out-latest-ibm-docs-20-demo.html&quot;&gt;IBM Docs&lt;/a&gt; when you are online or Microsoft Office when you are offline.&lt;br /&gt;
  802. &lt;br /&gt;
  803. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  804. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.evernote.com/l/AAdhuTlCkTxCO6yq2ZlVbmA7kcAtx-W9IgoB/image.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;363&quot; src=&quot;https://www.evernote.com/l/AAdhuTlCkTxCO6yq2ZlVbmA7kcAtx-W9IgoB/image.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  805. &lt;br /&gt;
  806. Windows 10 support has also been officially added. For those that like to live on the edge and have enabled preview features, you get some new stuff too. I&#39;ll leave that as an exercise for you to find it.&lt;br /&gt;
  807. &lt;br /&gt;
  808. To get the plugins, go to Downloads and Setup in cloud, or if you are using on-premises, you can get the &lt;a href=&quot;https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/assetDetails.xsp?action=editDocument&amp;amp;documentId=8AE593DC335311DE852579C2006D6F66&quot;&gt;Windows plugin from our catalog here&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/assetDetails.xsp?action=editDocument&amp;amp;documentId=BB34E893DF88E14C85257D6200649C50&quot;&gt;Mac plugin from here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;

  810. &lt;br /&gt;
  811. So first, what is IBM Docs ? The goal of IBM Docs is to make&amp;nbsp;it easier for teams to create and allow for collaborative editing of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation documents in real time. This online editor provides key collaborative services such as coediting, file management and contextual commenting (so you can see who typed what).&lt;br /&gt;
  812. &lt;br /&gt;
  813. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  814. &lt;a href=&quot;http://vanstaub.me/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Docs2.0-1024x579.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://vanstaub.me/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Docs2.0-1024x579.png&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  815. &lt;br /&gt;
  816. &lt;br /&gt;
  817. At&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www-01.ibm.com/software/collaboration/events/connect/&quot;&gt;IBM Connect&lt;/a&gt; earlier this year, &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/jimtpuckett&quot;&gt;Jim Puckett&lt;/a&gt;, product manager for IBM Docs, shared an overview of IBM Docs which you can see here:&lt;br /&gt;
  818. &lt;br /&gt;
  819. &lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;420&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/2nVFJ4BYnRxx1k&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 1px; border: 1px solid #ccc; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;&quot; width=&quot;510&quot;&gt; &lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
  820. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  821. &lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.slideshare.net/jimpuckett2/1148-ibm-docs-collaborative-editing-solution-for-business&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;1148 -IBM Docs : Collaborative Editing Solution for Business&quot;&gt;1148 -IBM Docs : Collaborative Editing Solution for Business&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.slideshare.net/jimpuckett2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jim Puckett&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
  822. &lt;br /&gt;
  823. With the new set of APIs you can now build collaborative applications. So if you are an ISV looking for a way to embed co-editing, check out IBM Docs. Van Staub first shared&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vanstaub.me/1299&quot;&gt;how to integrate Docs with any app&lt;/a&gt;. Then he took it to the next level and describes&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vanstaub.me/2499&quot;&gt;how to edit files stored in SharePoint with IBM Docs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  824. &lt;br /&gt;
  825. Last week, IBM published a tech note that describes the process to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21981293&amp;amp;myns=swglotus&amp;amp;mynp=OCSSFHJY&amp;amp;mync=E&amp;amp;cm_sp=swglotus-_-OCSSFHJY-_-E&quot;&gt;set up IBM Docs to edit files stored in Box&lt;/a&gt;. This provides a common editing capabilities for files, irrespective of where they are stored. &lt;br /&gt;

I remember going to my first conference and readily absorbing as much content as possible and putting it into practice. Of course, with so much content, sometimes you can&#39;t attend all sessions. It&#39;s all good, however, when speakers choose to share their content in platforms such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://slideshare.com/&quot;&gt;Slideshare&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  830. &lt;br /&gt;
  831. I recently ran into this deck that &lt;a href=&quot;http://image.slidesharecdn.com/1309-leveragingsocialbusinessdatavisualizingtheconnectionsorgstructure-160205132105/95/1309-leveraging-social-business-data-visualizing-the-connections-org-structure-33-638.jpg?cb=1454678572&quot;&gt;Matt Milza&lt;/a&gt; shared and figured I would re-share as it&#39;s a great example of what can be done with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Connections+5.5+API+Documentation#action=openDocument&amp;amp;content=catcontent&amp;amp;ct=api&quot;&gt;IBM Connections APIs&lt;/a&gt;. In the presentation, Matt provides a background on the APIs, examples on how to interact with them, and then shows a practical implementation of something he did for a customer.&lt;br /&gt;
  832. &lt;br /&gt;
  833. Using the social data stored within the system, Matt created this simple visualization of the report-to chain for an organization.&lt;br /&gt;

First, I wanted to take the time and summarize the deliveries that we did in Q1 and had been announced at &lt;a href=&quot;http://ibm.com/connect&quot;&gt;IBM Connect 2016&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(and did you see that &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/adambrownaus/status/712563981773352960&quot;&gt;we&#39;ll be at the Moscone Center next year&lt;/a&gt; on February 20 - 23, 2017 ? Sweet !)&lt;br /&gt;
  847. &lt;br /&gt;
  848. So what became available in the first three months of the year ? &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/jimtpuckett&quot;&gt;Jim Puckett&lt;/a&gt;, one of the product managers for IBM Connections, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www-304.ibm.com/connections/blogs/ibmsocialsoftware/entry/highlights_for_ibm_cloud_connections_docs_1q_2016?lang=en_us&quot;&gt;put together this quick slide deck&lt;/a&gt; that walks through all the new enhancements.&lt;br /&gt;
  849. &lt;br /&gt;

  853. &lt;br /&gt;
  854. Note: the mobile updates require a new mobile update so check the app stores for an update (at this point the target is next week).&lt;br /&gt;
  855. &lt;br /&gt;
  856. As a reminder, you can always keep track of the enhancements (current and past) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/social/us/en/whatsnew/&quot;&gt;in this page&lt;/a&gt;. Still not on IBM Connections Cloud and want to learn more? Check out this video:&lt;br /&gt;

With a focus on IBM Connections and Social Business, this is a first-class event for the user community. If you are working with IBM Connections, I&#39;d strongly recommend that you make every effort to attend! &lt;br /&gt;
  861. &lt;br /&gt;
  862. Last year, the conference was held in Boston and now it&#39;s coming back to this side of the Atlantic to Toronto on June 6-7, 2016.&lt;br /&gt;

  866. &lt;br /&gt;
  867. &lt;br /&gt;
  868. There will be a two day program, starting with complimentary breakfast on Monday 6th of June, with the formal agenda kicking off in the morning with &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialconnections.info/4869-2/&quot;&gt;keynote sessions&lt;/a&gt;, the first one being held by Chief Emergineer &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/elsua&quot;&gt;Luis Suarez&lt;/a&gt;. After lunch (featuring our Solution Showcase) the rest of the day will be devoted to breakout sessions delivered by international-quality speakers in multiple tracks, including:&lt;br /&gt;
  869. &lt;ul&gt;
  870. &lt;li&gt;Case Studies&lt;/li&gt;
  871. &lt;li&gt;Management&lt;/li&gt;
  872. &lt;li&gt;Administration&lt;/li&gt;
  873. &lt;li&gt;Development&lt;/li&gt;
  874. &lt;li&gt;Design&lt;/li&gt;
  875. &lt;li&gt;Future of Work&lt;/li&gt;
  876. &lt;li&gt;Sponsors&lt;/li&gt;
  877. &lt;/ul&gt;
  878. The formal agenda for the day will end with SpeedSponsoring, followed by the always popular evening gala reception (location to be announced later). On Tuesday, we&#39;ll kick off with our &lt;a href=&quot;http://socialconnections.info/social-connections-10-keynote-speaker/&quot;&gt;second major keynote&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with Toronto native &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/alanlepo&quot;&gt;Alan Lepofsky&lt;/a&gt;, VP at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.constellationr.com/&quot;&gt;Constellation Research&lt;/a&gt;. This will be&amp;nbsp;followed by a full-day program that will include more than 25 fantastic breakout sessions, including a series of popular 15-minute Spotlight &#39;TED-style&#39; sessions for those that prefer a wide range of speakers and topics.&lt;br /&gt;

  881. &lt;br /&gt;
  882. If you are not familiar with XCC, it&#39;s a lightweight Web Content Management System that integrates into IBM Connections. It enhances IBM Connections with classic Web Content Management capabilities and thus integrates the two antipodes of an intranet, i.e. peer-to-peer collaboration with internal (top-down) communications. &lt;br /&gt;
  883. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  884. &lt;a href=&quot;http://connections-apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lapp-Group.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://connections-apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lapp-Group.jpg&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  885. &lt;br /&gt;
  886. &lt;br /&gt;
  887. For example, you can use the Atom/RSS Feed App, Clipping App, HTML App, and now the Forms Builder App. This app allows business users to quickly build simple apps to collect and report on information without having to code anything. &lt;br /&gt;
  888. &lt;br /&gt;
  889. What&#39;s cool about this is that it opens up the possibilities for everyone in the organization to create simple apps. This in turn drives engagement and adoption which accelerates ROI.&lt;br /&gt;
  890. &lt;br /&gt;
  891. In the video below, you&#39;ll see how easy you can build Forms to build an HR form to submit open positions or apply to open positions. The video also shows an example of building a media gallery (for example to have users post classifieds).&lt;br /&gt;
