Central Desktop, a pioneer in the business software collaboration market new release features Central Desktop Live, the industry's first web conferencing tool fully integrated into a collaborative, wiki environment.
Users can now schedule and host real-time web conferences directly within the tool.
"Our product is about making web collaboration affordable, not just in terms of dollars but in terms of the time necessary to get things done", says Isaac Garcia, Central Desktop CEO. "By unifying different collaboration technologies behind an intuitive Web interface, Central Desktop users spend more time working together rather than juggling tools."
Central Desktop's business wiki empowers users to efficiently organize and share information in a flexible, user-centric environment. It unifies traditionally disconnected collaboration tools such as wikis, web conferencing and discussion groups under one umbrella, providing users with tools that accommodate different types of collaboration. Designed from the bottom-up for business teams, the company provides simple and affordable collaboration solutions primarily to small-and-medium-sized businesses.
Central Desktop is delivered 100% on-demand making it affordable to new users and still scalable with their budgetary and technological needs. "While we have many business teams (comprised of 10-200 people) within larger Fortune 500 companies, our primary audience are SMB Companies. Many of our customers choose Central Desktop after a negative experience with more complicated groupware tools such as Sharepoint or even Lotus Notes.
"Instead of involving the IT department, teams using Central Desktop can be up and running in minutes, not days or weeks" says the company "In the "mainstream" world our customers compare us to Microsoft Sharepoint and WebOffice. In the "Web 2.0" world our customers compare us to Jotspot and Basecamp. We like to say...we are a Sharepoint Alternative that does more than Basecamp and is easier to use then Jotspot"
How does it differ from other wikis?
Central Desktop is a structured-wiki that provides more than just "free form text linking" that a traditional wiki provides. Instead, we've created structured activities such as Discussion Threads, Task Lists, Calendars and Databases within the wiki environment. We give our customers the best of both worlds: the freedom of a wiki but the structure required accomplish business tasks. We are also the only wiki-tool that incorporate real-time Web Conferencing into its environment. As an on-demand software provider, our primary goal is to provide affordtable and quickly deployable team collaboration solutions to the SMB Market. Users can subscribe monthly, quarterly or annually and can cancel at anytime. The technology also focuses on the 'average business user' experience rather than creating a solution for techies or developers.
