Work 2.0
Work 2.0 is an integrated online community platform. Work2.0 brings the benefits of social networking to large enterprises. However, it is not enough to just create Blogging or Wiki or Forum functionality. Enterprises expect solutions, not standard functionality. Work 2.0 makes social networking concepts relevant for Enterprise use by building features and functionality that allow security, behind-the-firewall installation, integration within the Enterprise technology stack, scalability and flexibility.
Work2.0 is architected in state-of-art technology and consists of 3 layers. A Core layer, which includes the glue that ties all modules together and also the following functional modules : Inform, Personalization, Access and Admin. The Add-On layer allows seamless addition of functional modules to the Work 2.0 installation. The Integration layer allows the Work 2.0 install to work within the Enterprise Technology stack and integrate with other enterprise applications.

Through our intuitive admin panel, you can still manage many aspects of your Online community, for example:
- Administration – manage users, user privileges, access and privacy rights,
- Content: ability to add content into all content modules including blogs, wikis, forums, Q&A, discussion boards, videocasts, podcasts,etc
- Moderation – to ensure that spam and abuse are managed
- Groups – Create sub-groups as per user needs/requests
- Alerts – manage email and RSS feeds & alerts
- Polls & Surveys – Add new polls and monitor poll and survey participation
- Reports – see usage and adoption reports at multiple levels of detail
Open Source Version
For small enterprises, we are happy to "give away" a version of our platform Work 2.0.
The way this works is :
- Since Work 2.0 is a platform, it is not a download. Hence some custom work is necessary even in the open source version of our product.
- Firstly, you have to choose open source or free modules for Blogs, Forums & Wiki for your community. We will integrate this into your community for you.
- We will customize your community look and feel
- We will implement Work 2.0 features, including common sign-on, customized homepages, and the "related content".
Optional Services Include :
- We can add some of our custom modules like Broadcasts and Q&A, if you so desire
- We can also add community wide adoption and usage reports
That is it.
So if you are not ready for a full fledged community, ask us to come in and do an open source version of it. Remember, open source is not free, it is lighter and uses available tools from other providers
