looking for CRM and WORKFLOW apps for my XDA

XDA, apart from its cellphone functionality, has a great value as business tool I am considering getting some CRM (customer relationship management) tool and also possibly worflow application
I have been looking through many similar solutions available on the net and either they are very pricey or need very extensive hardware and software platform to operate
Although I have a smallish home network I would rather stick to simple solutions that do not make me learn to to use sophisticated and pricey tools. I need a tool that:
- I can use
- that is user friendly
- allows me to use my XDA, laptop and desktop PC to access it
- has an interface or either www (maybe php) or sth else to server based resources
- keeps track of all ongoing business transactions
- uses Microsoft Outlook (if possible - although it might be a serious limitatin) for contacts, email, scheduling etc
- other
Of course easy integration with Microsoft Office is not a key but helpful, other viable solutions are warmly welcome
uffffff, for the time being no more thoughts, heh
Is anyone using any CRM and/or WORKFLOW kind of appliaction ????
regards, monika

Witam.
Myślę, że takie oprogramowanie to chyba najlepiej sobie zamówić (nawet niekoniecznie u mnie) w php byłoby dość rozsądnie, tanio i bez problemów sprzętowych.
Pozdrawiam Maciej

[Q] censoring / blocking websites on android

Hi
First time poster so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this or posted before, as I can't seem to find any info!
I am an an android and c# developer and although possibly not a majorly technical question I am just wondering what the options are:
Can you block or restrict websites on an android mobile?
In windows if I want a simple way to stop someone getting at a website I would just stick it in the hosts file and direct it somewhere else. You can also buy programs that will block certain websites.
What are the options to do something similar on a android mobile? Ideally something that can't be easily detected or uninstalled?
I'm thinking for kids with mobiles.
The home PC would be completely locked down, especially with a developer as a parent, but I don't know how you would lock down the mobiles internet?
Bex
Well.. I'm sorry for the stupid question, but I have just discovered Android does have a hosts file!
I shall be testing that out later to see if it works!

how to create a communication system between an android and other asp.net

Guys, good afternoon.
I'm doing a project where I need a web system, done in ASP.NET, to communicate with an android system.
Thus, the two systems will use the same database.
I came to find out about WEBSERVER, but I found this on a forum that left me a little confused:
"It is worth noting that the consumption of Web services on mobile devices is not recommended by the Android development team due to the processing overhead of SOAP calls. If you have control over the server, the ideal is to use REST-based architectures such as OData . "
It is not recommended to use webserver in android?
How then can I do to create that communication between the two systems?
Now appreciate everyone's help.

[Q] A site/way to to advance search for android apps?

Perhaps its just me because I haven't found many posts relating to this but I have had a hard time finding apps in many cases because it seems like many places don't give advance search options anymore? Things like specifying license, ratings, popularity, language availability, last updated when, not to mention search by say permission (ie least invasive though i suspect that is a bit of a pipe-dream) searching by or sorting by these parameters etc etc etc. Amazon, Quixey, and Appbrain and perhaps to a tiny extent alternativeto help but none of them are killer (ironically [to me] I find play almost useless for searching at least, kind of counter productive as it just floods me with tons of stuff and little way to narrow it down that i am aware of). I am just hoping maybe there is some site that scrapes other sites or a way to run regexs on sites or something ? Any constructive thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

System Managed Devices

Howdy, folks. I hope someone can help answer this question. Mods, if I posted this in the wrong section, please relocate.
I'm helping a friend who is expanding his business by hiring 3 field sales reps and they need to be provisioned with smartphones and tablets for doing quotes, reviewing e-blueprints, accessing email, and so on. So, that's six devices in question, with more to come.
There's a question about whether iOS or Android is the better platform for what we're gong to need. Yes, I know XDA is Android-centric, but this decision isn't about what I want to do, but about what's right for his business. So, your honest input is appreciated.
Essentially, what I think we need is an ACL Management utility of some sort that will support these functions:
Remote access to configure devices in the field
Track and 'nuke' devices if lost/stolen
Remote backup of data/settings
Remote install/configuration of apps by managment
Enforce password protection
Good antivirus/malware/firewall software(?)
Prevent users from installing or deleting data/apps
Prevent users from changing settings
Though I have some technical skills, a 'dashboard' style interface to manage the devices and set a group policy would be preferred. I am aware of Android Device Manager, but I was unable to determine if it will do all of the above that we need.
If you think I've left anything out, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help!
