<p>Huddle has just announced the general release of Huddle Note, a new iOS application that enables users to create content in the cloud, share it inside or outside the firewall and collaborate with other workers on documents all from a mobile device. Taking all Huddle's functionality into account, the company's management claims it provides a viable alternative to SharePoint. Huddle and SharePoint</p><p>Before the release, we asked Huddle co-founder Andy McLouglin about Note, SharePoint, and Huddle's future. The first thing to say is that Huddle, for the moment, does not replace SharePoint per se, but offers a way of collaborating and sharing information outside the enterprise firewall something SharePoint has always had problems doing.</p><p>In some government departments in the UK that require easy-to-use collaborative tools, SharePoint is either being replaced by Huddle, or Huddle is being run in parallel to SharePoint. McLouglin said:</p><p>Government departments by their nature are highly collaborative. They need to collaborate internally, and collaborate with environments outside of their own. A lot of them are using SharePoint, which is not really working for many of them because it makes collaboration across the firewalls difficult.</p><p><a href="http://www.cmswire.com/cms/document-management/will-huddle-note-app-hammer-another-nail-in-sharepoints-coffin-023427.php?utm_source=MainRSSFeed&utm_medium=Web&utm_campaign=RSS-News">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.infoworld.com/d/applications/huddle-gives-its-content-collaboration-suite-word-and-onenote-alternative-232432">Huddle gives its content collaboration suite a Word and OneNote alternative</a> (InfoWorld)</p><p><a href="http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/12/10/enterprise-team-platform-huddle-unveils-notes-another-alternative-google-docs-microsoft-word/">Huddle Introduces Notes, Another Alternative To Google Docs and Word</a> (The Next Web)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dEIJq1TollULVsMZammDooJ-9Cy_M&ned=us">14 additional articles.</a></p>
