If you run a SME, you’re probably:
- Too busy generating revenue to have the time to learn, setup and maintain a complex IT system;
- Frequently working closely with several realtively small ad-hoc teams, often on different projects;
- Cost conscious and careful where you spend your money.
If so, then a RubberSquid wiki can improve your efficiency and save your business time and money.
Top 5 Business Benefits of a RubberSquid Wiki
#1 Make Project Information More Accessible
RubberSquid allows project information to be assembled in one secure place and accessible by any team member wherever they are, using whatever device they choose. It’s like having private web space that only team members can read and contribute to.
#2 Centralise Team Communication
For most businesses, team collaboration involves email, lots of email. Reading, sorting, finding and replying to email is time consuming and there is always the risk that team members may miss or forget about an important message.
RubberSquid can be used as a communications hub; a private, centralised forum where team communications, and not only email ones, can be shared efficiently and clearly.
#3 Streamline Team Collaboration
Today’s project teams are often geographicaly dispersed and often in different timezones. RubberSquid is an access-controlled information repository that’s available over the Internet 24/7, so there’s less time wasted waiting for returned calls or information sent by email.
#4 Leverage Group Knowledge
Most domain specific knowledge is held in people’s heads: when the relevant person isn’t around, neither is the knowledge they possess. Team effectiveness is often compromised by the non availability of specific knowledge, knowledge that can be quickly and easily entered into a wiki such as RubberSquid.
#5 Mine for Information
Valuable information comes in many forms: telephone and face to face conversations, client and consumer interverviews, press releases and competitor information, etc. This information is usually “unstructured” (i.e. free form, natural language) and therefore difficult to store in such a way that it can be used later.
RubberSquid allows you to store all kinds of unstructured information and then to do information mining on it later by simply typing natural language questions such as “what are the main features of ABC’s widget?” or “what was that company that manufacturer blue and green plastic widgets?”. If anyone has enterd the information into it’s repository, RubberSquid will find it.
Business Orientated Features
- Cross Platform: RubberSquid works on any device with a browser and an Internet connection: mobile phone, PDA, Blackberry, smartphone, iPhone, notebook, desktop, Mac, Windows, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Linux, etc. etc.
- Easy to Use: You do not need a computer science degree to use RubberSquid. ANYONE can use it. Even my mother, and she’s over 70.
- Privacy and Access Control: RubberSquid is private and secure. You have full control over who (if anyone) can view each of your channels. This means you can set up multiple channels for multiple projects and keep them all separate.
- Data Security: Your information is valuable, so we provide a data backup function. This is a one click function that creates a single zip file containing all your text information in XML format together with all your attachment files, and downloads it to your computer. Its sister function allows you to upload a RubberSquid backup file so you never need worry about losing data.
- Printing Memos: Sometimes, nothing beats having information on paper, so RubberSquid has a print function that filters out page menus, etc. to give a more professional result than a simple page dump.
