MindTouch Launches Cloud-Based Collaboration Platform

by Lisa Hoover on Nov 19, 2009

3 comments

Open source collaboration software vendor MindTouch announced today that its widely-used enterprise collaboration platform is now available in the cloud. This is great news for businesses who want a service comparable to Microsoft SharePoint, but don't want the headaches of proprietary software or the hassles of a lengthy installation process.

If you're a regular reader of OStatic, then you know this move is one of series of releases MindTouch has launched to drive the future of collaborative networks. Following the creation of the MindTouch Creative Knowledge Base and the MindTouch Collaborative Intranet, a move to the cloud was the next logical step.

The folks at open source collaboration platform MindTouch conducted a poll recently to get a sense of who open source executives think are the most influential people in the industry. More than 50 execs were polled from Europe and North America and no one was allowed to vote for anyone in their own company. The results were ranked according to the effect each nominee has on the open source industry, and some of the winners may surprise you.

MindTouch Lets Businesses Crowdsource Data Without Giving Away the Store

by Lisa Hoover on Sep 01, 2009

post comment

Imagine a business putting its prized product documentation online, and inviting customers, partners, or anyone who happens by to drop to collaborate on it, then just hope for the best. Such a model may work in the FOSS community but, realistically, that lack of control isn't right for every product or company. In fact, corporate transparency requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may outright forbid it in some situations. Allowing outsiders to drop into a corporate intranet unaccompanied is preposterous, but building an impenetrable moat around the company isn't the answer either.

Enterprise collaboration software vendor MindTouch added a Collaborative Knowledge Base to its list of offerings this week. It's designed for businesses to let customers and partners access corporate documentation without turning over the keys to the entire store. MindTouch's latest idea combines the ability for people outside a company to collaborate on projects with the security businesses need to maintain order and control.
