It’s still the holiday season, so all's quiet on the document management front. However, that didn’t stop Microsoft from launching its new store for Office and SharePoint, nor did it stop Cabinet NG from rebranding. Also this week, 52apps released a watermarking tool for iPad and iPhone, while PixelCrayons enters the document management market.

SharePoint 2013 is out in preview and it has a number of enhancements that everyone seems to like. But that version of SharePoint is at least one to two years away. So we are curious to know what you think SharePoint's best feature is today, with SharePoint 2010. Hence we ask:

It’s slow in the document management space at the moment, but even still there are a few notable releases. Arguably the most important is the upgrades to iWork and better document syncing across Apple devices. In addition, MaxxVault upgraded to 5.3, Foxit released new SDKs, and Pro Softnet is offering easier syncing and storage.

Information management is going mobile with the Generis CARA v3.3 debut, and it's bringing voice recognition along for the ride.

It’s hard to count how many file transfer or sync applications there are on the market at the moment. Even still, SpringCM has announced the release of another one. The differentiator here, SpringCM CEO Chris Junker told CMSWire, is that this is truly a business application.

It's summer and slow everywhere. However, OpenText has still managed to upgrade RightFax making faxes by internet easier, Colligo extends the reach of Briefcase enabling Apple devices access to SharePoint, Quest has also been busy around SharePoint making it easier to access from Outlook, while Panasonic releases a new document scanner for SMBs.

This week in the world of enterprise information management, Symantec takes on BOYD with the provision of new security features for mobile devices, RSA takes a deep look at GRC across business, Kroll Ontrack upgrades Verve, and LockPath lands US$ 6 million funding.

This week, document management was only ever going to be about the official release of details around Office 2013, which Steve Ballmer unveiled at an event on Monday. Also this week, Alfresco enters alliance with Kodak, Docile takes capture to the cloud and Kofax upgrades Kofax Express.

The new Office suite has been formally unveiled by Microsoft with Yammer and SharePoint taking center stage among the new features. See what else was shown off at the launch event today, and where you can download the new customer preview version. 

Alfresco has been growing at an impressive rate since its 2005 founding through a combination of products and strategic partnerships. While it is already in use in countries all over the world, the announcement of a strategic alliance with Kodak should up its game again.

Microsoft's Office dominance is under attack as cloud services, users working on tablets and even the replacement documents by emails all take their toll. What can Microsoft pull out of the hat to liven its ageing service? 

In all the talk of social media and collaboration, it is often forgotten that the basic goal of all these systems is better information for the people that need it. Enterprise content management vendor Hyland hasn’t forgotten that basic fact though and in the new OnBase 12 release says it has mastered personalized content provision.

With a lot of competition on its hands, Dropbox wants to remain relevant in both the consumer and enterprise markets. With Google Drive dominance looming around the corner, Dropbox is offering more space than ever to its Pro users.
