Samepage News & Articles

SamePage from eTouch (news, site) 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.

Two years ago, eTouch admitted that the enterprise hadn't yet grasped the concept of wikis. Since then, they've expanded their dynamic enterprise wiki to include new functionality and new deployment options. Now they add some much desired social media elements to the latest version of their enterprise wiki.

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.

Just when we thought making wiki less wily was the greatest achievement by eTouch, they go ahead and fulfill their good deed quota for the year by offering their handy-dandy collaborative wiki tool SamePage v4.0 free for students.

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.

eTouch Systems, the creators of the SamePage enterprise wiki, have announced the launch of SamePage v3.5. What’s to note? They implemented a fully multilingual user interface. The first languages available will be French and Polish, but any number of languages will be provided for customers upon request.

That’s not the only new feature. SamePage is all about Enterprise 2.0 collaboration, and this release carries a few goodies that may make your team smile.

A few weeks ago we covered that Cisco/WebEx and California-based enterprise wiki provider eTouch Systems were integrating SamePage, an enterprise wiki, into the WebEx Connect collaboration environment. Since that time, I had the opportunity to ask a few questions of Aniruddha Gadre, CEO of eTouch.

eTouch is very focused on usability and their Same Page wiki allows customers and employees to “access a secure wiki that enables them to communicate, collaborate and organize energetic ventures.”

By closely integrating the collaborative content editing capabilities of SamePage with the application mashup capabilities of WebEx Connect, the new platform is expected to be available to more than 2 million Cisco customers in an effort to allow users to create content and collaborate on the go.

In anticipation of what has already been deemed a year of exciting Enterprise 2.0 developments, Cisco/WebEx and California-based enterprise wiki provider eTouch Systems announce the integration of SamePage, an enterprise wiki, into the WebEx Connect collaboration environment.

The eTouch team have released a new version of their enterprise Wiki platform today. Highlights of the update include greater support for internationalized content and an import function which will migrate content from your old Wiki, or from HTML sources, straight into your spanking new SamePage Wiki.

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.

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.

Little more than six weeks after the release of SamePage 3.1, eTouch announced the availability of SamePage 3.2 at the recent Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. The latest release of the Enterprise Wiki solution rounds a number of corners and simplifies integration of 3rd party Web 2.0 services.

A great or very fickle man once said “No written masterpiece is too good for improvement.” With that in mind, it’s comforting in some way to know your enterprise project collaboration software of choice has no illusions about its own perfection.

Combining the unique collaboration aspects of wikis and blogs with the flexibility of a content management system, eTouch gives us SamePage take 3.1, topping their SamePage 3.0 release from last November.

Not surprisingly, Microsoft is working on merging the core architectures of the SharePoint Portal and Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) products. The first version of the new architecture is due out with the Office 12 release late next year.

In one of the first public statements on the topic, Chris Capossela, Microsoft’s group vice president of Information Worker Product Group, indicated that the future of the two products was around more common technologies and an integration, if not outright convergence.
