Achieve Seamless Integration and Collaboration Across ALL Windows-based Applications with New MindTouch Productivity Tools

In a couple clicks: archive, index for search, tag, edit, version and collaborate across all Microsoft Windows™ desktop applications from your web browser using MindTouch 2009.

SAN DIEGO, May 14, 2009 – MindTouch software, an enterprise-class wiki and collaborative portal, is the most popular open source collaboration platform and is ranked in the top open source projects in the world (source: sourceforge.net). Today MindTouch announces a new Desktop Suite of productivity tools that provides one-click publishing from any Microsoft Windows™ application, improved drag and drop capabilities, in-place editing of Microsoft Office™ and rapid archiving of corporate assets in a searchable easy to share web-based environment.

"MindTouch's Desktop Suite of productivity tools has delivered significant productivity gains because it easily integrates and adapts to how we already work. I find it especially valuable that I can quickly share corporate assets in a searchable, versioned, easily editable workspace that also makes it easy for our entire group to discover and reuse work we've already completed. It’s a time-saving, money-saving must have,” says Holly McAdams, HCA Healthcare.

MindTouch's Desktop Suite of productivity tools enhances MindTouch 2009 to improve existing scalable collaborative Intranets, interactive community extranets and documentation portals. The suite includes:

• Aurelia Reporter: The new Aurelia Reporter works with any Windows application and allows users to publish as MindTouch 2009 pages. As with all MindTouch 2009 pages the content is easily editable, indexed by a powerful enterprise search engine, versioned, and able to be permissioned for specific users and groups. All from any popular web-browser. Now, traditionally non-collaborative applications such as Microsoft Project™, Visio™, PowerPoint™, Excel™, Quickbooks™, and many others are quickly captured, archived, indexed by search and editable from the web-browser all while being versioned.

• Desktop Connector: It's similar to Windows Explorer, but for MindTouch 2009, where users can drag-and-drop files, including rich text with images, and folders from the desktop to MindTouch while maintaining existing hierarchy. Users can also reorganize MindTouch 2009 page hierarchies on the fly and edit in-place file attachments while still maintaining versioning. As always, all files and pages are indexed by a powerful enterprise search engine.

• Microsoft Word™ and Outlook™ Connectors: Provides users with one-click publishing from within Word and Outlook to MindTouch. The Outlook Connector enables publishing of full email conversation threads along with associated attachments, which saves time by enabling quick searches of keywords from past conversations and easy tracking of projects and deliverables.

The Desktop Suite is available for commercial versions of MindTouch. For more information visit http://www.mindtouch.com/add-ons/mindtouch_desktop_suite.
