July 25, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Bellevue, IA - WhatHelps?, Inc., a global provider of hosted social networking and online community web services, announces the launch of their new Wiki Package. The package lets users create a private business community for their project group or team members to communicate, collaborate, interact, share information and files, all within a private, hosted environment. Setup is fast and easy; no training, downloading or special skills required. If you need help building your Wiki, WebHelps Extreme Support™ with its small team approach will deliver a level of service beyond most expectations. They place the most experienced, most highly paid people on each Support Team. Each Team is comprised of a team leader, support liaison, programmer, web designer and billing specialist.

Matthew Highland, WhatHelps? CTO, had this to say about the Wiki Package features. "The Package will include unlimited registered team members, One Click Customization, Project Announcements page, Objectives page, Task List, Known Issue List, Article Library, RSS Feeds, Team Directory, Activity Tracking, Create-A-Page, Instant Messenger, Calendar, Blog, Filesharing, Knowledge Base and IMail List."

WhatHelps?, Inc. CEO, Michelle Wilbers said, "The Wiki, which was until recently not much more than a browser-based web page creator, has come a long way fast in terms of features. Today, the feature-rich Wiki includes several easy-to-use, integrated, interactive tools that make it easy for people to collaborate across great distances or across the room."

"The Wiki's ease of use is what has made it so popular. The trick, which we have mastered, has been adding new features without making the Wiki more difficult to use. People can literally sign into our Wiki and begin working immediately with other members of their Wiki group. No training is needed. If you can email, you can Wiki."

"Because there is no software to buy, install, or maintain and no server required, Wikis are becoming increasingly popular among small businesses and organizations. They have found they can provide their people with some of the best real-time collaboration software available, on an as-needed basis, without making a big financial commitment. And, because Wikis are so easy to use, they do not have to spend a lot of time and money on training."

Educational institutions are using Wikis for student collaboration and projects. The pharmaceutical industry uses Wikis to manage clinical trials and develop new technology. Engineering firms have found Wikis useful in tracking engineering projects, bids and technology development. And organizations of all types are finding that Wikis are cost-effective ways to manage projects and documentation.
