The 21st Century office the epitome of efficiency or one step above complete chaos? While we have yet to accomplish the paperless office, the possibility of conducting most of your day to day work in the “cloud” is slowly become more of a reality or at least a possibility. A variety of solutions exist, some that cater to a “set and forget” mentality, others that provide an opportunity to create a customised environment specifically for your business.

The previous three products mentioned could quite reasonably be called applications, something that is launched within an environment. But what if was possible to create not only the apps, but the complete online office environment and what if that environment could be completely customised? Enter EyeOs,

It is interesting to see just how many and varied options have become available for use today. If you could design the solution to your work flow challenges today, might one of these tools be of use to you?
