What are Online Communities?

• Online Communities are shared online areas that allow people to exchange views and information on topics that interest them, wherever they are in the world.
• Communities can include information pages, discussion forums, file exchanges, image archives, events diaries, news, contact lists, members only areas and much more.
• Communities can be set-up and administered centrally or by any registered user of the system.

Who can benefit?

The versatility of our Online Communities software makes it ideal for a wide variety of organisations wanting to add online community or project groups to their website, Intranet or Extranet. For example:

• Commercial Internet Services Providers / Hosting companies looking to provide an additional service to customers and potentially develop a new income stream.
• Public Sector organisations looking to serve their community by providing an online voice.
• Public consultation applications (e.g. open government)
• Educational establishments
• Virtually any organisation that would benefit from having an efficient method of communicating with their clients/suppliers in a secure manner (e.g. solicitors, designers, architects, software developers, accountants, manufacturers, charities)
