Enterprise Wiki News & Articles

Atlassian (news, site) comes to the table with the latest release of the Confluence enterprise wiki. Version 3.1's support for OpenSocial Gadgets makes it easy to add new functionality to Confluence and Confluence to other applications.

In April Atlassian (news, site) launched the Atlassion Stimulus Package, a 5 day offer to purchase a 5-user license for Confluence or JIRA for only US$ 5. All proceeds of the sale of those licenses went to the Room to Read Charity.

In the end, the sales totaled US$ 110,000, and Atlassian concentrated their donation on Cambodia, building 16 libraries, providing a year of education to 68 girls and publishing one Khmer Language Storybook.

Today, they come out with a new offer, again aimed at the small business market, with all proceeds going to the Room to Read charity. But this time there is no end date for the offer.

For US$ 10 you can get:

• JIRA: Issue tracking and project management -- 10-users
• Confluence: Enterprise Wiki -- 10-users
• GreenHopper: Agile Project Management for JIRA  -- 10-users
• Bamboo: Continuous Integration Server -- 10 plans, unlimited local agents, 0 remote agents
• FishEye: Source Code Repository -- 10 committers, 5 repositories
• Crowd: Single-sign on and Identity Management -- 50-users

All software is fully functional and supported by Atlassian. In addition, they are renewable at the same price yearly.

According to Laura Kahlil of Atlassion, "Atlassian is making a commitment to help small teams keep their costs down and to provide continued educational opportunities for children who need it the most."

Atlassian joins a number of other content management industry vendors doing something to make the world a better place. Others include: Kentico (Kentico Goes Green, Plants a Tree for Every Bug in v4.1) and KnowledgeTree (KnowledgeTree's Green Initiative, Plants a Tree for A New Sale).

With Brazil stampeding alongside the rest of the BRIC economically-rising nations, eTouch (news, site) gets on board with a reseller agreement for its business-friendly SamePage wiki.

eTouch's seemingly never-ending SamePage expansion continues with a newly announced partnership with Novateccorp of Brazil to resell the popular business enterprise wiki in the booming Latin American nation.

Already multi-lingual, the product should have little difficultly fitting in among rapidly growing businesses looking for collaboration, knowledge management building and information sharing systems.

Novateccorp has a strong local content management and documentation background and will be well positioned to help promote SamePage's cause in Brazil.

SamePage uses J2EE powered applications to help companies rapidly create new ways to improve the way they store, share and use information.

eTouch has also recently added SamePage to Salesforce.com's AppExchange and MySMBStore.com.

When your solution is up against a number of others in the market, you need to find ways to promote your offering where your market will look. eTouch (news, site) did that earlier this year for their SamePage enterprise wiki.

In April, eTouch announced that customers could pick up SamePage from the Salesforce.com AppExchange. Pricing starts at US$ 100 per month for up to 20 users, US$ 200 for 21 to 50 users and US$ 400 for up to 100 users. And of course, there's that 30-day trial offer you find it hard to refuse.

Today, eTouch announces a new location to pick up the SamePage enterprise wiki: MySMBStore.com. MySMBStore.com is owned by Renovatix Solutions. It offers a number of enterprise level SaaS solutions at the same price or, in some cases less, than buying from the vendor directly. Buying from MySMBStore.com also gives you a single point of support and integrated billing for all applications you purchase there.

Pricing for SamePage at MySMBStore.com starts at US$ 100 per month for up to 20 users. Head over and read the reviews or write one yourself.

Atlassian (news, site) says they don't implement features just for the sake of it. That all enhancements to their solutions are based on customer feedback and needs. With the latest release of their enterprise wiki, Confluence, we see that some of these needs are universal across the Enterprise 2.0 market today. All show just how far the wiki has come in only a few short years.

CMSWire spoke with Bill Arconati, Product Marketing Manager, and Laura Khalil of Altassian to get the scoop on the new features and an update on the Atlassian Stimulus Package.

With over 9,000 customers of their solutions and US$ 100 million in cumulative revenues since they started in 2002, you can see that Atlassian (news, site) is working hard to get your business.

Today, they are going a step further offering what they call the Atlassian Stimulus Package. If you are a small business or startup in need of some enterprise level products at a bargain price, then you need to pay attention.

Socialtext has released the latest version of its wiki platform — Socialtext 3.0 — that will allow users to better manage information and engage in more conversations and connections in an enterprise environment. Socialtext Dashboard and Socialtext People are the highlights of this release.

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.

It’s a season of change at Palo Alto-based wiki startup Socialtext.

The company has just announced its appointment of Eugene Lee as Chief Executive Officer and member of its board. It has also stated that it has closed a Series C funding round of US$ 9.5 million.

At the O’Reilly Web 2.0 Summit, Atlassian announced a liaison between its Confluence enterprise wiki offering and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Both SharePoint and Confluence users will be able to access one another’s technologies. The connecting vein will include search, content sharing, linking, single sign-on and security.

This is one more effort to harness collaborative energies via social computing tactics on an ECM platform.

Try the solution at the Atlassian website.

Don’t we all know that collaborative content is the name of the game? As of the advent of Web two-dot-oh, anyway.

“Despite the hype, we’ve learned that most large institutions are still not using wikis yet,” mused Aniruddha Gadre, CEO of eTouch.

Socialtext has just released a plugin that supports Movable Type 4. It enables users to post on both MT4 and the Socialtext wiki simultaneously — tags included.

The plugin only requires server name, workspace name and username and password to unite with your MT4 account. To start your blog-and-wiki dual post extravaganza, download the Socialtext plugin here.

Today marks the release of eTouch’s SamePage 3.3, an enterprise wiki that promises to boost user productivity with, among other things, broader deployment options.

So for those suffering a dearth of variety, take heart.

While blogging is one of the simplest ways to get your enterprise all blinged-out for Enterprise 2.0, it’s not the only option. Enter enterprise wiki.

A major benefit of Wikis is that your site can keep serving up-to-date, dynamic content that’s immediately relevant to users — and it’s the users themselves who create (and often even moderate) it. Could there be a dreamier solution for time- and cash-strapped companies trying to increase information relevancy on their websites, or build a loyal community? Enterprise Wiki vendor Atlassian Confluence thinks not.

This Enterprise wiki business is continuing its impressive momentum, and to little surprise. wikiCalc is just one demonstration of how much the wiki world has begun to offer businesses in terms of turning Web 2.0 tools and processes into tangible and manageable value.
