Document management systems in many businesses are typically shared network drives. While some businesses have graduated to online document management systems like Zoho, a good percentage of them still use shared network folders or samba drives as their central document repositories, which sit behind the firewall. This means, their documents cannot be easily accessed outside the company network.

What if you need a system to make your existing document management system accessible outside your network, providing the advantages of an online document management system and not disturbing your current setup? This is where Stoneware comes in.

Stoneware provide web access to your internal infrastructure outside your network through your browser. Using their webNetwork application, your internal documents from your shared network drives can be accessed outside the firewall using just your browser.

Stoneware integrated our productivity apps - Zoho Writer, Sheet & Show - into their webNetwork application. With this integration Stoneware customers can view/edit their internal documents using just the browser and save them back to their internal network. After all, there is a reason they want to keep their data behind the firewall. So this integration does exactly that. It lets Stoneware users open their internal documents from existing shared drives using Zoho Apps and save them back to their internal network.

This remote saving capability has been available through our Remote APIs and is being used by our other partners like Box.net, Huddle etc. 

We'd like to thank Stoneware for integrating Zoho. We certainly look forward for more interesting integrations using our APIs.
