CloudBeat 2011 Result

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Well, OfficeDrop did not win CloudBeat 2011 Innovation Showdown last week in Redwood City, but we did deliver a nice demo and meet some great people.

Congrats to the winner, Zadara Storage, a provider of virtual private storage arrays in the cloud!

You can read about our demo here on VentureBeat; here is what they wrote about our demo, “OfficeDrop also connects headquarters and workers in the field through file sharing, but it doesn’t end with the ability to share and manage users. Its mobile application allows small businesses to create and share files in the field. The company used the example of a cleaning service. At the end of a job, cleaners would need to fill out a proof of completion sheet, and take a picture of their work for the executives back at head quarters. Using the mobile app, workers can scan the completed sheet and take the picture of their cleaned room, which is created into a file and sent to the file share dashboard.”
