SiteScape Rolls Out Major Release of Collaboration Suite
Version 8.0 Incorporates Blogs, Wikis, VoIP Conferencing and More Powerful Workflow
| Source: SiteScape
MAYNARD, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 22, 2007 -- SiteScape, Inc. (www.sitescape.com), the
premier provider of secure Web-based workflow and collaboration solutions,
today announced Version 8.0 of SiteScape Forum, the unified collaboration
platform that allows team members to work together both in real-time and
asynchronously.
SiteScape Forum Version 8 adds weblogs (blogs), wikis and support for
voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone conference calling to Forum's award-winning
collaboration capabilities such as document management, workflow, web
conferencing, phone conferencing, instant messaging and calendar sharing.
Organizations such as Shell, the US Navy, Starwood Hotels, and the Centers
for Disease Control use SiteScape Forum to facilitate communications among
local and far-flung employees in the context of thousands of documents,
files and discussion threads managed in a secure, controlled environment.
Forum 8.0 also includes powerful additions to its industry-leading workflow
engine. Business users can use text descriptions to easily automate work
processes. Forms and documents can move through a workflow based
on multiple questions or a response from a single person representing a
whole group. Forum's ability to manage voice communications via
conventional telephone lines and VoIP adds flexibility and can save money
over per call charges. And, the new ability to "clone" workspaces and all
their attributes makes it easier to roll out best practices.
"This new release really hits the mark for us at Starwood," said Glenn
Mannke, Director of Intranet Development at Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide. "I see a lot of useful functionality for my installed base.
Using collaboration tools such as workflow allows us to communicate more
effectively company-wide, accelerating best practices in the hospitality
industry."
"Blogs and wikis are gaining widespread use within the enterprise," said
Brian Hays, SiteScape's President and CEO. "People are familiar with them
outside of work and expect the same experience when they collaborate with
colleagues in the workplace. Using familiar tools speeds adoption of
collaboration in an enterprise. And, the ability to display graphics in
Forum wikis makes collaboration more visually descriptive."
