	Smartsheet, the project management tool cloaked as a spreadsheet, adds visualization Smartsheet, whose namesake online project management app uses a spreadsheet interface, has developed a visualization tool to let its customers graph and map workgroups in their organizations for better planning and supervision. The new Account Map tool does an enterprise-wide analysis of data collected in a company's Smartsheet domain and generates a visual representation of the people working on the different projects, including employees, partners, contractors, vendors and customers. "It gives you a quick, visual way of seeing the landscape of who is doing what across the enterprise," said Brent Frei [cq], chairman and co-founder of Smartsheet.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WEBCAST: Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Integrating Mobility with Unified Access Meeting mobility demands of 4500 students, faculty and staff at a university is no small task.

But now they've finally got a new official name, and it looks like it's one that's going to stick. Let's give a big welcome, then, to the Universal app. They're going to be big. That's because, as Terry Myerson and Joe Belfiore made very clear at the Windows 190 unveiling, with the expansion of WinRT APIs and support for windowed WinRT apps on the desktop, Universal apps are the future of Windows development. First revealed in April at Build 2014, the initial iteration of the Universal app allows developers to share code between Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1.
