eTouch SamePage Wiki Now Boosts Enterprise Readiness with Support for MS Office, MySQL and Administration Tools

July 23, 2007; 03:21 AM
eTouch Systems today added MySQL support and improved content import/export with MS Word to SamePage 3.3, (http://samepage.etouch.net) the latest release of its enterprise wiki -- a collaborative website whose content can be edited by anyone in the organization who has access to it. The new version is live and downloadable today.

"We're responding to the needs of enterprise customers who are demanding better integration with databases and corporate applications like MS Office, while continuing to keep SamePage very simple to use," said eTouch CEO Aniruddha Gadre. "SamePage is the only enterprise wiki that looks and works like a word processor, so it's intuitive and easy to use for anyone in the organization. But at the same time, we continue to evolve SamePage so it provides the sophisticated administration, database and security features that IT departments require -- and that open-source wikis don't always offer."

SamePage is more than just a wiki -- it inspires teamwork with a complete collaboration solution that includes a wiki, blogs, forums and mashups to leverage the collective knowledge, insights and creativity of the entire organization. SamePage is simple to use -- while also meeting IT department requirements for security, integration with databases and authentication systems, robust administration features and fast, personal service and support from eTouch's team of consultants and engineers.

New features in the SamePage 3.3 enterprise wiki include:

• Improved integration with Microsoft Office
• New usage metrics and reporting to provide greater insight into SamePage usage
• Improved administration to simplify user management
• Additional plug-ins for Google Calendar and 30Boxes Calendar to create mashups
• Support for MySQL (in addition to Oracle)

Works like a word processor
As before, SamePage 3.3 features the industry's easiest to use WYSIWYG editor -- so creating and contributing content is as simple and intuitive as using a word processor. Users don't need to learn HTML or wiki syntax.

Enterprise-level security
SamePage also provides robust role-based security with fine-grained access controls to manage what users are allowed to contribute -- even at the page-level. It's scalable and reliable to meet the evolving demands of the organization, and rapidly integrates with existing enterprise infrastructure, leveraging built-in LDAP adapters and SSO support.

Wiki: A shared virtual white board.
A wiki is a Web-based collaboration tool that is rapidly growing in popularity in the corporate world and government agencies. Like a shared whiteboard on the network, Wikis are collaboration tools that let any number of people share information. Anyone who is authorized can go into this shared workspace to add, delete or edit content. By getting everyone "on the SamePage", employees avoid email overload and save time by directly creating new documents and sharing ideas.
