SamePage Wiki Now Boosts Enterprise Readiness with Support ...

eTouch Systems today added MySQL support and improved content import/export with MS Word to SamePage 3.3, (http://samepage.spwiki.com) the latest release of its enterprise wiki -- a collaborative website whose content can be edited by anyone in the organization who has access to it. The new version is live and downloadable today.

"We're responding to the needs of enterprise customers who are demanding better integration with databases and corporate applications like MS Office, while continuing to keep SamePage very simple to use," said eTouch CEO Aniruddha Gadre. "SamePage is the only enterprise wiki that looks and works like a word processor, so it's intuitive and easy to use for anyone in the organization. But at the same time, we continue to evolve SamePage so it provides the sophisticated administration, database and security features that IT departments require -- and that open-source wikis don't always offer."

eTouch, Open for Enterprise 2.0 Business with Mashups

"eTouch appears to be on the right track with their focus on usability and the needs of the customers, but don't take our word for it. Mike Suding, an IT Director for Citrix Systems Inc.'s Online division -- who brought the SamePage enterprise wiki to the engineering and sales departments within Citrix -- had this to say:

"Email comes and goes and we wanted a place to collect and build. Web 2.0 is about employee collaboration and empowerment and self service. That's what we're achieving with the wiki."

If eTouch can continue to deliver on their promises of better than average usability, ease of integration and a reduced dependency on in-house IT, then SamePage seems positioned well to carve out a healthy space in the increasingly competitive Enterprise Wiki market."

Wikis, Blogs, RSS Aim for the Workplace

"On a larger scale, Mike Suding introduced eTouch Systems Corp.'s SamePage enterprise wiki to Citrix Systems Inc.'s Online division, where he is IT director. The tool has improved collaboration in the engineering and sales departments, while requiring minimal IT intervention, he said.

"I can make [a user] an admin of a certain space or project and they can add their own members and invite their own people to participate and post their own texts or graphics or attachments," Suding said. Accomplishing similar goals with the existing intranet and e-mail and collaboration platform would be more complicated.

"E-mail comes and goes and we wanted a place to collect and build," Suding said. "Web 2.0 is about employee collaboration and empowerment and self service. That's what we're achieving with the wiki."
