Akumina Unveils InterChange SharePoint User Experience Framework Updates at Microsoft Ignite
NASHUA, N.H. and CHICAGO, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Akumina, a SharePoint user experience software company, today unveiled its next generation SharePoint Apps and Web Parts designed to fill the gap between the power of the SharePoint platform and the user experience it delivers.
A Better SharePoint User Experience
Akumina InterChange improves the SharePoint user experience in two key areas. First, InterChange empowers content authors, information workers and site managers with Apps that expose only what they need to accomplish specific tasks without ever exposing them to SharePoint's user interface. There are three types of InterChange Apps:
- Content Apps - InterChange automatically generates business-user friendly Apps to manage the content in any SharePoint list or library.
- Control Apps - InterChange allows for the creation and management of instruction sets which Akumina's InterChange Web Parts use to change functionality on any SharePoint site.
- Admin Apps - InterChange also has Admin Apps which allow developers and administrators to do tasks like create the instruction lists used to manage the properties of InterChange Web Parts with Control Apps.
Akumina has also used its InterChange user experience framework to create specialized SharePoint Web Parts (InterChange Web Parts) which allow web developers and SharePoint architects to transform the experiences they can build on the platform from ordinary to extraordinary. InterChange Web Parts are open source, built using responsive web design for mobile, and are easy to deploy and extend. Business users can also modify any InterChange Web Part's properties using InterChange Apps, rather than directly accessing the Web Part on the SharePoint page. Among the InterChange Web Parts Akumina is showcasing at Ignite are:
- Document Library – Allows for the creation, sharing and collaboration on SharePoint-managed documents
- HTML Banner – An easy to manage image banner to highlight key content
- Discussion Board – Collaborate on projects and share status updates
Beyond Web Parts for SharePoint, Akumina's InterChange Framework can also be used to build mobile applications to access SharePoint-managed data and processes on any mobile device.
"The combination of our front-end Web Parts with the back-end flexibility offered by our Apps transforms the level of experience which a SharePoint developer can deliver on the platform," said Akumina CEO Ed Rogers. "Now IT teams can continue to develop on the stable, scalable and secure platform which is SharePoint, without sacrificing on the experience they deliver or spending thousands of dollars on end-user training."
Akumina's channel partners are excited to use Akumina's products to help them win more SharePoint business while increasing client satisfaction. "InterChange is unique in the SharePoint marketplace today," said Kevin McCloskey, director of client development at Momentum Digital Solutions Inc. "Akumina allows digital agencies to differentiate in the SharePoint space based on user experience while addressing the ever-increasing questions on how to handle mobile access."
