We are very honored and excited to announce today that Fishbowl won the Forrester Groundswell Award in the Employee Mobile Application category. 
This was given out in conjunction with Forrester’s Content & Collaboration Forum being held today and tomorrow in Boston. Fishbowl’s entry, “Enabling Medtronics’ Global Sales Force with Mobile Content Management“, was selected for our work integrating Medtronic’s iPad-based Mobile Content Management System with Oracle WebCenter Content (formerly UCM).
Fishbowl would like to extend a sincere thank you to Jim Freeland of Medtronic for making this possible. Jim will be presenting Medtronic’s iPad solution with along with Chuck Day of Medtronic and Tim Gruidl, President of Fishbowl Solutions, on October 4th at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco. To read more about the presentation or OpenWorld visit our OpenWorld page.
Medtronic’s Mobile Content Management System (mCMS) enables sales reps to download collateral from Oracle WebCenter Content into folders on their iPads by leveraging Fishbowl’s iOS Mobility Suite API. The iPad allows sales reps to quickly call up the latest videos, presentations, and PDFs stored in Oracle WebCenter Content. If reps don’t have an internet connection, they can still access any downloaded content in offline mode and use the synch button to check WebCenter for content updates when reconnected. Medtronic has nearly 2,500 mCMS users across 11 global regions, and these users access over 3,500 pieces of content. To read more about the solution, click here.
Fishbowl’s Jason Lamon attended the Forrester Content & Collaboration forum today to accept the award on behalf of Fishbowl Solutions and Medtronic. There were over 200 entries this year for the Forrester Groundswell Awards. Jason also participated in a panel discussion with the other award winners to provide some highlights of the project and its success.
This award recognizes Fishbowl’s ability to solve our customer’s information management challenges, and how as a team, we are able to deliver exciting and innovative solutions to customers. Thank you again to Medtronic and everyone at Fishbowl Solutions whose hard work made this solution and the iOS Mobility API a reality.
