We already gave you a glimpse on our most recent Memonic for Salesforce release, featuring an unique Evernote integration and enabling you to link any Evernote notebook to basically any Salesforce object. However, the story does not end at this point. Evernote brings a huge ecosystem with it, featuring an integration into hundreds of apps and devices. Just as a example, imagine you take meeting notes during a client meeting in Penultimate using your iPad. With just two clicks only it’s being added to an account in Salesforce. Don’t believe it? Well, then watch this quick video and convince yourself!

On Friday we felt like super stars – thanks to the talented photographer Michael Schmid (Website, Twitter) flashes enlightened the whole office. The reason for this paparazzi session was to take pics for our next big thing – Squirro. If you are ever looking for a talented photographer in the greater Zurich area, then we can highly recommend Michael, he did a fantastic job! Here are some shots from behind the scenes (they were taken with an iPhone4 camera, the final pics of us will certainly be of better quality):

For our new project Squirro we are starting our jet engines again. So at the end of last year we were again looking for great software developers to join our team. For that we did a pitch at the December Webtuesday in the hope of attracting one or or two good people. And indeed a few days later Patrick approached us and by the next Webtuesday he had already joined our team.

He had not written much Python before and still he was productive from the second day on. In this first weeks since he started, Patrick wrote several web services from scratch (I think the average is one per week). And he has just taken over management of our whole live infrastructure, using good old Puppet.

Patrick and me actually met briefly back in 2003 when he won the software development showcase event at the WorldSkills in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Outside of work he’s an active OpenStreetmap mapper and a pirate.

Thanks for your work Patrick!

You have not misheard – indeed with the most recent release of Memonic for Salesforce, we’re adding Evernote support, combining the best of the three systems Evernote, Memonic and Salesforce! With this unique integration, you now are able to link any Evernote notebook to any Salesforce object like a lead, an account, a contact and many more! Enough words, watch this video to see how easy that is:

Today is an important moment for Memonic: we take the next step and go from “keeping the essential” to “harvesting the essential”.

It is the next logical setup for us. Memonic is a great note taking application solving the everyday problem of keeping digital content. With Squirro we want to solve the problem of information overload and clutter: We aim at building something like a noise-cancelling headset; call it digital noise reduction.

To get this done we partner with a group of key business angels from Europe and the Americas to plug their experience in building great software companies.

What does this imply for Memonic? We continue to support Memonic as is, including bug fixing and some improvements. We also will allow all existing Memonic users to get Squirro first, as soon as it becomes available. However, it is true to to state, that we will not release a lot of entirely new features for Memonic. As a small team we need to strike a careful balance. We think this is a good way forward for you, our cherished users and us, the team behind Memonic.
