Devang discusses how SamePage can help make document management breezy and painless for companies in the Courier Industry.

eTouch Systems released version 4.4 of SamePage, its enterprise wiki designed to enable efficient collaboration and streamlined workflow, which features added social tools and document management capabilities. The new version aims to improve the user's experience and create a community environment.

A desire to ensure the quality of the results that all constituents (from customers to support personnel) find when viewing the company's help documents was the impetus behind logistics and delivery services provider 3PD's content migration to SamePage initiative. 3PD used SamePage's universal import tool to transition its HTML content into the new wiki.

eTouch has made the KMWorld list of 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management for 2011. Hugh McKellar, editor of KMWorld, said: "eTouch's inclusion on the list is based on the breadth and impact of its innovations to meet specific customer needs while adding true value to its entire chain of constituencies. The companies we include on these lists are leading solution providers dedicated to understanding what their customers need for a thriving knowledge economy."

eTouch SamePage, a dynamic enterprise wiki, today announced it has been selected by Growth Dynamics International (GDI) as the secure networking, collaboration and content-management platform for members of its online learning website, Lifelong Learning Community.

eTouch SamePage, a dynamic enterprise wiki, today announced it has published a case study based describing Penchant Software's content migration to SamePage. Penchant Software is the Software Development and Architecture division of 3PD, the nation's largest direct-to-home delivery company.

Between the release of SamePage v4.2 and the release of v4.3 in June it was almost a year. This week, and only three months later, it has released a full fledged community edition that is free and contains the majority of the functionality of the enterprise 4.3 edition.

Companies use wikis and blogs everyday to communicate both inside and outside the organization. One company making waves in this space is eTouch. To learn how its solutions are making a difference for the enterprise, TMCnet’s Rich Tehrani (News - Alert) recently spoke with Venugopal Shastri, VP of Products, in an interview captured in on video.

DICE has begun using the knowledge management solution SamePage from Fremont, Calif.-based eTouch to tighten up operations, cut down on wasted paper and postage and deliver up-to-date efficiency to its central station clients through the implementation of the DICEWise Wiki.

Venu Shastri sits down with Rich Tehrani of TMCNet.com to discuss the features and unique aspects of SamePage, what's new with the software, high-profile customers and more.

Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, may think email's dying, but until it's dead it's still the incumbent monarch of enterprise communication. Tools that don't fit seamlessly into existing processes and workflows will hinder the adoption of next-generation enterprise collaboration solutions. eTouch's enterprise-grade wiki SamePage attempts to solve this problem by allowing users to create wiki pages via email, and several other features to ease adoption.

EContent's Intranets Magazine includes a case study of Cal Poly Pomona and how its Student Affairs Information & Technology Services department selected SamePage and deployed the software to solve its document management and knowledge management challenges.

When enterprise wiki provider eTouch Systems was engaging with a Hungarian company as a customer for its SamePage collaboration tool, the only thing holding back the sale was the language interface. To win the sale and show how nimble SamePage is, the team focused on content localization.

Researchers of the study, "Organizational Agility: How Businesses Can Survive and Thrive in Turbulent Times," which was conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by EMC, talked to 300 senior executives at leading international companies and found that 88% of respondents-including half of all polled CEOs and CIOs-believe organizational agility is crucial. However, more than 27% place their organization at a competitive disadvantage because it lacks the agility to anticipate fundamental marketplace shifts.

eTouch SamePage focused on the centralization of content management on a project it did with the California State Polytechnic University-Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona).

eTouch SamePage, a dynamic enterprise wiki, is included in an Enterprise 2.0 report published by Ovum, a research and analysis firm that's part of the Datamonitor Group. The report, entitled "Enterprise Collaboration 2.0: Connecting with the Global Opportunity," lists eTouch as a top enterprise 2.0 specialist.

eTouch has introduced SamePage Version 4.2, which features a customizable dashboard, stronger e-mail integration and advanced plug-ins.

Student Affairs Information & Technology Services (SAITS) within the Division of Student Affairs at California State Polytechnic University Pomona has chosen an enterprise wiki solution, eTouch’s SamePage, for its knowledge management needs.

eTouch SamePage, a dynamic enterprise wiki, today announced it has published a case study based on the evaluation of knowledge-management technologies by the Student Affairs Information & Technology Services (SAITS) within the Division of Student Affairs at California State Polytechnic University Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona).

Social media features are becoming increasingly popular in CRMs. SalesForce.com recently launched Twitter integration and there are several collaborative enterprise software providers offering innovative wiki products in the enterprise space. eTouch System’s SamePage, an enterprise wiki, can now be deployed within Force.com AppExchange from SalesForce.com.

SamePage from eTouch offers up the pleasures of social media in the formerly stuffy halls of Salesforce.com. Using all the right buzz words including blogs, wikis and forums, now staff, clients and customers can communicate better than ever before without leaving the company page.

First appearing in 1995, the "wiki" approach to creating interactive and collaborative Web pages quickly became the star format for social networks, but too often business also-rans. Part of the problem comes from top-down managers uncomfortable with underlings making changes without authorization, and from stories of update wars on the most famous wiki, Wikipedia, the encyclopedia written by users. But successful corporate wikis abound, including SamePage from eTouch Systems.

The delivery approach of a traditional on-premise product or solution is typically a single installation for each implementation you want. So if you wanted, say, completely separate wikis for departments or customers, you would install the software separately for each department. That no longer needs to be the case. eTouch now offers their SamePage enterprise wiki solution with a multi-tenancy on-premise deployment model. One installation, many wikis.

"Seed a Wiki instance at a group/department level with a specific purpose - for e.g. document processes, procedures, product requirement documents etc. Once it is successful, the Wiki concept and usage will experience strong bottom-up adoption and increase in acceptance across the organization. This approach is in variance to the practice of choosing a Wiki product on a corporate-wide basis and then asking people to use it."
- Ani Gadre, CEO

"Be strongly cognizant of security considerations when using a Wiki. This includes ensuring access controls at an instance, project/space and page level for different functions like read, edit and comment. These considerations might not be paramount early on but they definitely grow as usage increases."
- Ani Gadre, CEO

California Institute of Technology's (Caltech) Atwater Research Group has chosen eTouch SamePage enterprise wiki for the group's internal communications. Atwater is engaged in interdisciplinary materials and device research, spanning photonics and electronics and with applications in Si-based photonics, plasmonics, renewable energy, and mechanically active thin film devices.

The group will use SamePage for several purposes, including project collaboration, posting manuals and procedures for lab equipment, and research processes, as well as to update, comment, and edit information in real time for the 50-person lab.

eTouch has released SamePage 4.0, a robust enterprise wiki platform. The company reports that significant design/code changes have been introduced to improve performance for various product functions, including the publishing process, login process, project listing screens, search engine indexing, etc.

SamePage 4.0 also enables direct content creation between the wiki and Web portals and makes it possible for users to create and collaborate around charts and tables with new database and chart plug-ins. Overall, says eTouch, users should find significantly better performance, especially in larger installations.

Recently, eTouch announced SamePage 4.0, an enterprise wiki solution. It includes new and enhanced features that aim to satisfy large enterprises. Businesses can freely take advantage of SamePage in order to create, collaborate and manage information.

SamePage, at its core, is an intuitive and simple tool designed for enterprise environments. It can be securely integrated with existing databases and authentication systems. Users can utilize SamePage to capture, disseminate and locate information while taking advantage of knowledge and insights from other members of the same business entity. That is the core reasoning behind the use of a wiki, after all.

Etelos, Inc. announced today that SamePage, a dynamic enterprise wiki, is now available through the Etelos Marketplace ^TM.

SamePage is an enterprise-class wiki that is deployed to harness the collective knowledge, insights and creativity of an organization. It is intuitive, simple to use and meets IT department requirements for security and features. Fostering collaboration amongst employees is one of the invaluable tools that businesses can find in the Etelos Marketplace. The Etelos Marketplace is a one-stop location that allows businesses to compile a suite of solutions that address challenges they may face.

SamePage Wiki Now Boosts Enterprise Readiness with Support ...

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."
