However my work changed platforms to Windows a few years ago and I eventually replaced my home MacBook with a Surface Laptop, so I decided to switch to Notebooks App which has versions for Mac, Windows and iOS and it handles notes as well as tasks so it was an all-in-one solution. More recently and for quite a number of years I had an all Apple platform at work and home, so I was using Omnifocus (Mac, iPhone, iPad). I've used many different apps over the years, too many to list. I started using technology to help me with GTD back in the Palm Treo days. We're planning to record a couple of discussions about the hows and whys, and our eventual configuration. He's going to be helping us with the transition. I will miss that part a bit, because I like playing at the hardware and operating system level.Įric Mack, who developed eProductivity, has been working on productivity solutions with Microsoft tools for the last several years. Today I could set up G Suite or Office 365 for a group of our size in under an hour and not have to think about a server. Back in the mid 90s a company needed its own server(s).
We'll save money by not maintaining the servers we currently have. In the early days, Notes stood out as a program that allowed for quick development and deployment of data stores that could easily have workflow and collaboration built into them. People often say things like, "You're still on that?!" Or, "Is that still around?" We think we'll have a more unified environment.ĭespite some recent development efforts, Notes seems out of date.
The Microsoft suite of tools is will replace our current use of Notes, Zoom, Dropbox, and Sametime (Notes chat). Keep joking! I need the laughs on a project of this size.
