ENow News & Updates

One of my favorite parts of being ENow’s CTO is bragging on the work our technical team does. I’m delighted to announce the latest GA release of the ENow Management System, 7.2.0.1999. (Yes, that’s an odd version number—we purposely chose it in honor of Prince’s passing.

On November 24th, a post on Reddit announced that Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) had been hacked by a group calling itself the Guardians of Peace (GOP). Since that time, a steady stream of claims, counterclaims, data from the breach, and reports about that data has occupied both mainstream and IT-focused media. There are lots of open questions about what happened, who exactly is responsible, and what the long-term impact of the breach will be for SPE. The more important questions to ask right now, though, revolve around how to ensure that you’re not the next high-profile organization to have its security woes splashed across the front page of the New York Times and CNN.

The MEC 2014 conference was amazing and brought together email administrators from around the world to talk about Microsoft Exchange. The conference started with a keynote where they announced the introduction of OWA for Android. This offering provides Android users another option for their daily needs and provides an alternative to ActiveSync. OWA for iPhone was already previously available.
