Colligo Upgrades Briefcase iPad App for SharePoint. Since Colligo released Colligo Briefcase Enterprise for iPad in December, it has been putting a lot of effort into developing it as more enterprises take iPad on board.

The ever increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets has brought about many changes in the way consumers use technology. For example ‘Apps’ have in many cases replaced websites. Email, Twitter and Facebook are quickly overtaking more traditional forms of communication like text messaging. More fundamentally though, more people are now accessing the Internet on the move rather than from a desktop computer.
This shift to a mobile Internet has profound implications for websites and web design. It is no longer OK to consider mobile versions of website as an afterthought. After years of largely ignoring this area, Microsoft seems to have woken up to the issue with the release of SharePoint 2013.

This first report is a report built on US Government data that dealt with “Cash for Clunkers” trade-ins. This is built with SQL Server Reporting Services using ReportBuilder. What this report is telling us is state-by-state how may cars were traded in under the program.
We can see Toyota is #1, while Chevrolet and Ford were close to second (along with Honda). This report also has a drill-through capability using a linked report.
