KITCHENER, Ontario, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IGLOO Software (www.igloosoftware.com),
a leading provider of online community and social
software solutions for business, today announced that its online
community platform has been selected as a Trend-Setting Product by KMWorld,
a leading information provider serving the content, document and
knowledge management systems market. The eighth annual list, compiled by
KMWorld?s team of editors, analysts, systems integrators, vendors,
line-of-business managers and users, will be published in the September
2010 issue.
?Being named to KMWorld?s list of Trend-Setting Products of 2010 is a
significant achievement for our company?
?When we started this process, more than 600 individual products were
under consideration. What distinguished IGLOO was a clearly identifiable
technology breakthrough in social and collaborative computing,? said
Hugh McKellar, editor-in-chief, KMWorld. ?Work as we know it is changing
and the IGLOO Software platform is a powerful tool for enabling this
transition.?
In conjunction with being named a Trend-Setting Product, IGLOO announced
the next version of its enterprise social software platform. The new
release is focused on enhancing the user experience by embracing the way
today?s knowledge workers want to interact and collaborate around
content. That includes:
-
Content Following: people and teams collaborating on important
files can follow any document (or blog article, discussion thread,
wiki page and event listing) in a community, receive updates on its
progress via email and respond with comments and guidance in real-time
-
Community Calendar Integration: members can synchronize
community calendar events directly with their personal calendaring
application on their desktop or mobile device using the .ics
(iCalendar) standard
-
Advanced Search Filtering: new advanced filters allow members
to target their search to a specific location and application in the
community, and tag clouds help members quickly locate related content
associated with a search
-
Broadcast: published content from any application in the
community can now be broadcast to members and groups with one single
click
-
Commenting: comments can now be edited in a 7 minute window
after posting to correct small typos and errors, while maintaining
governance
-
Peer-to-Peer Messaging: a message can be composed quickly from
anywhere in the community using the user bar and auto-recognition of
member addresses
The second half of the release, to occur later in September, will
include:
-
Inline Editing of Documents: members can securely edit
community documents inline and save new versions right from within the
browser ─ no downloads required
-
Enhanced Document Management: folders in a document repository
will expand to allow all content to be viewed without leaving the page
(view as a list, series of icons or even with file details similar to
navigating your 'My Documents')
?Being named to KMWorld?s list of Trend-Setting Products of 2010 is a
significant achievement for our company,? said Dan Latendre, CEO, IGLOO
Software. ?Our 100% cloud strategy has allowed the company to remain
agile, innovative and responsive to changes in the market and to our
customers? needs.?
The complete 2010 list of Trend-Setting Products are featured in the
September issue of KMWorld Magazine, which is available in print and
online at www.kmworld.com.
