Mike Mahon, President and Mike Muller, Director, Software Consulting at Zia Consulting talk about a native iPhone application Zia has developed that allows mobile access to an Alfresco document repository. This application runs against the most recent Alfresco releases; no additional software needs to be installed on the servers and no configuration of Alfresco is required.
It is configured by default to run against an Alfresco instance running in the Cloud. All of the calls to Alfresco to authenticate and pull content are utilizing Alfresco’s CMIS API.
We are currently beta-testing the application, called Fresh Docs, for submission to Apple’s app store. To be notified when it’s available in the app store, or to participate in the beta test, contact iphone@ziaconsulting.com. You can find more information about the app and our plans to Open Source the code behind it at www.ziaconsulting.com/iphone.

* Reserved EC2 instance has proven to be much cheaper than a dedicated hosted server, particulary when factoring in backup storage in S3* * This was invaluable in testing out an upgrade from the community 3.0 edition to 3.2. By cloning a backup snapshot, we were able to have a parallel instance running in minutes. We could run through the upgrade scenario multiple times with various scenarios before applying it to the production instance.
