Secure social collaboration

OpenText has announced major upgrades to its Tempo product line, which includes Tempo Box 10.5, Tempo Note and Tempo Social 8.5. The company says the bundled products offer customers an easier and more secure way to coordinate purpose-driven collaboration in a business environment by combining file sync-and-share with social collaboration and seamless integration to OpenText’s Content Server NS Experience Suite.

The company further reports that a new set of APIs, available through AppWorks Gateway, provides a common RESTful API tier that exposes all of the Tempo functionality, making it simple and easy for OpenText customers and partners to write their own custom applications or integrate with their existing systems.

Additionally, Tempo Social has a hybrid HTML5-based mobile application available out of the box as part of the AppWorks Mobile suite. The Tempo Social app allows users to post and reply to status updates, upload photos, browse and search user profiles, follow their colleagues, share blog posts, etc.
