However, Ken Case told me, OmniPresence’s rollout in Omni Sync Server will be gradual over the next few weeks. The Omni Group’s Omni Sync Server will also be offered as a free OmniPresence location for those who don’t want to set up a web server. Starting today, customers will be able to turn any compatible Apache web server into an OmniPresence location, effectively hosting their own clouds, retaining control on documents that will be stored in OmniPresence. The key to understanding OmniPresence is that it’s a system that runs on open web server technologies, with The Omni Group providing the syncing logic either as a Mac app, or directly embedded into their native iPad apps. After nearly two months of testing, I’m glad to say that, in some ways, The Omni Group has even exceeded my (already high) expectations. As a long-time user of Omni products such as OmniOutliner for the iPad and Mac, I was eager to see whether Case’s promises of a fast, reliable automatic syncing technology would grow into a stable product capable of fitting seamlessly into my daily workflow. “The way we are doing it is not to hook it up into some backend proprietary service”, The Omni Group CEO Ken Case told us in an interview during Macworld|iWorld earlier this year. OmniPresence, based on open web technologies, is available inside OmniGraffle, OmniGraphSketcher, and OmniOutliner for iPad, and it also comes with a companion Mac app that runs in the menubar. Announced in December 2012, The Omni Group has today started the public rollout of OmniPresence, their new free automatic document syncing solution for OS X and iOS.
