Stoneware webNetwork 6.3 Available With Workspace-Integrated Cloud Storage

Stoneware Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lenovo, announced the availability of webNetwork version 6.3, an update that extends the functionality of an unified workspace platform for IT while continuing to give users the freedom and flexibility.

“webNetwork 6.3 builds on the capabilities of previous versions,” said Rick German, CEO, Stoneware. “With redesigned file services, we’ve given customers the ability to leverage the storage and editing capabilities of leading cloud providers like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Box and Dropbox within their existing workspace. The product still provides flexibility to users, while continuing to allow IT to maintain strong security and audit abilities.“

Single sign-on (SSO) enhancements are a focus of the webNetwork 6.3 while webPass wizards make it easier for admins to create custom SSO definitions.

“We have more than doubled the pre-defined webStore single sign-on content,” said Coby Gurr, director, product management. “Users can immediately use the web’s most popular apps, without the need for IT admins to build them.”
