September 27, 2011 by Robin Wauters 3 Comments

Advancing its vision for the future of applications in the post-PC era, VMware today announced new iPad and updated Android applications from SlideRocket and Socialcast that will help modern businesses empower a more agile, productive and connected enterprise.

SlideRocket and Socialcast’s mobile applications address a need to equip the connected enterprise with user-centric communication and collaboration tools that enhance business outcomes.

SlideRocket transforms presentations to better fit the needs of today’s enterprise with enhanced graphic capabilities, analytics and viewing patterns, real-time feedback, social media integration, and mobile functionality that drive deeper levels of engagement, audience participation and retention.

With the new, free SlideRocket Player iPad app, users can share engaging presentations, whether presenting to an audience across the table or across the globe. People can also invite someone to view a presentation from a simple link.

Available in the coming weeks, the new Socialcast iPad and updated Android app enables people to access their Socialcast community while on the road. Employees will be able to collaborate with co-workers from anywhere: posting updates, sharing files and connecting on important work projects.

In addition, Socialcast will support secure login via OAuth 2.0.
