The Injoos Blog

We just did a minor upgrade to the platform to bring you more exciting features to enhance your productivity. The library has been enhanced to give you the ability to drag and drop files and folders. Just grab the file or folder that you would like to move and drop them into the target folder. There is an option to either copy or move the files or folders.

The bookmarklets have been enhanced to allow you to directly get some description for an article you are posting. Just mark the text on the website you are reading and invoke the bookmarklet to post the article into Injoos with the marked teaxt appearing as a short description for the article. You can also tag the article by putting a # before the text to be used as Tag. This can be done in the bookmarklet as well as when creating a news or discussion inside Injoos.

We have also introduced the ability to delete news, discussion and discussion replies. This is available to the creator of the content.

Team Injoos started the new decade by going back to the roots literally both outside (Dress) and Inside (Food). See the picture of the team wearing traditional Indian dress and enjoying an equally traditional pot luck lunch on Republic Day.

Real Time Enterprise, Mashups, Collaboration, Software-as-a-Service, Community Management, Social Media - These are no more buzz words that are all over the place. These are the enterprise trends to watch in 2010 according to ReadWriteWeb. Mashable predicts that Social Activism will explode across the web and that that micro-volunteerism will extend beyond Wikis. Enterprises are becoming more and more part of the social revolution.

All these trends are now incorporated into Social Business Software (also known as Enterprise 2.0) products. Injoos Teamware is abreast of this trend and I am excited to write about some new features that have been built into the product in Release 4.0.

Your Intranet in the Cloud

At the forefront of this change is the ability for enterprises to create their corporate Intranets on the Cloud for easy information access and collaboration among team members. What is more, you can lock in the access to only people with corporate email IDs thus preventing unauthorised people from getting into your network. We have also introduced an admin functionality as an overarching feature that allows businesses to manage their networks and users. So go ahead and create your private network for your business and start collaborating.

Groups and Sub-groups and all other collaboration features remain as they are. The difference being that the Groups and Sub-groups now belong to a Network (read Your Company). This will allow businesses to mirror thier organization structure on Injoos easily. For example, create your company network and create groups for each of the departments - say HR, Marketing etc. The subgroups can be used to create programs or initiatives within each department. Whats more, there are projects that can be created both at the Group level as well as the sub group level to track initiatives and tasks.

Widgets and Bookmarklets

Information consumption and creation just became easier with the introduction of 2 new features - Widgets and Bookmarklets.

Injoos Bookmarklet that can be added to your browser bookmarks bar and used to post information directly into Injoos from the website you are reading. Bookmarklet also allows you to choose the group into which the information has to be posted. This powerful feature enhances the information creation ability greatly without having to leave the page one is reading.

Widgets for your Company Network can be embedded on any website or blog easily using the Embed Code provided. This allows information from the company network to be accessed from your website or blog. View the activity feeds for the groups that you are a part of in the network or upload files into the group library via the widget.

Share Files with external users

A great new way to share your files on the group library -  we have introduced file sharing with external users that allows a team member (with access) to share files with another user who is not a member of the network. This capability allows collaboration between distributed teams as well as external users.

Back-up your files

Need a backup of the entire library or just a folder? No worries, use the new download option on the library to create a zip of your folder or the entire library (only moderator).

These and many more features of the product make it a powerful platform for businesses to setup their intranets in the cloud and enable their teams to collaborate. It is like having your Private cloud on the Public internet.

So what are you waiting for ? Setup your company network or just join your network and start collaborating and managing your business the Social Way.

We are working hard to make Injoos The Collaboration Platform for businesses. We have lined up a set of cool new features in the coming December release that greatly enhance the usability of the product and aid in easier content creation and collaboration from wherever you are.

We are developing a browser widget that you can embed on your site so that Information from your groups inside Injoos is now available to you from wherever you are. You can get feeds from your groups on Injoos, view, download and upload files from the widget directly into the Injoos Library.

We are also introducing a couple of easy ways in which you can share info with your teams as well as tag them appropriately for future reference. Bookmarklets that can be pulled to your browser bookmarks bar to enable you to easily post an interesting thing you are reading on the web into the group as a news item. You can also use the #tags on the words inside the description or the title of the any item you are submitting to create tags on the item. This can be done from the bookmarklet as well!

Enhancements to the Library will include the ability to now share your files and folders with external email IDs for easier collaboration with people not part of your organization. The new download option for the Injoos user will provide an option to download the entire library or a specific folder as a Zip onto the desktop.
