• Team Elements has been forked

  Concursive Corporation recently announced a new product called ConcourseConnect, which is built on the Team Elements platform. For all the details see the blog series at: http://www.concursive.com/show/team-elements/post/551 ConcourseConnect is the de-facto Java Open Source Social Business Software platform. Some of you may find that moving to ConcourseConnect is more desirable given the feature set, others may want to stick with the project management capabilities of Team Elements, however Team Elements specific development will likely come to a close. ConcourseConnect uses an embedded JSR-168 Portal and has lots of features around social networking whereas Team Elements was for collaborative mostly internal project-based communities. Migration is not supported, however if you want to migrate to ConcourseConnect, your best bet is to download the ConcourseConnect Early Access .war and see if everything updates automatically or semi-automatically. If you can update to the Early Access .war, then you can update to the production releases as they become available. You might just consider setting up ConcourseConnect separately and begin using it as your project site and intranet instead of migrating legacy data. The Early Access Program is here... http://www.concursive.com/show/concourseconnect-early-access We need social networking enthusiasts, java portlet developers, theme designers, and user experience knowledge around intranets, community building and more! Please check us out as we are determined to go forward with a fun and worthwhile product. Product Information is here... http://www.concursive.com/show/concourseconnect

  Centric CRM Receives Funding From Intel Capital Investment Will Help Open Source Customer Relationship Management Technology Developer Grow As Market Expands Norfolk, VA June 13, 2007 Centric CRM, a developer of open-source Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology, today announced the company will receive investment funding from Intel Capital, the venture capital arm of Intel Corporation. Centric CRM will use the funds to pursue growth opportunities forecast for the CRM technology industry. After more than seven years of continuous development, Centric CRM is now a mature, robust and feature-rich product, said David Richards, CEO of Centric CRM. The investment from Intel Capital will be used to fund additional product development, and to expand our sales and marketing activities to capitalize on the rapid growth in our space. Centric CRM is positioned to take advantage of the projected growth of its market, said Lisa Lambert, managing director at Intel Capital. In a business environment that shows a continued confidence and a renewed interest in customer relationship management, the company offers a key solution to help organizations acquire, retain, service and sell to their customers. According to Gartners published forecast, CRM Software, Worldwide, 2006-2011, CRM market growth remained strong through 2006, fueled by continued business confidence generating solid vendor performance. Growth is expected to moderate in 2007 but remain healthy throughout the forecast period, with a compound annual growth rate of 11.7 percent. 1 The rapid growth in the CRM technology market is being fueled by an increased business focus on strengthening customer relationships, as well as an increased acceptance by businesses of open-source and Software as a Service (SaaS) business models.

The SaaS model involves a web-delivered software application that the vendor hosts and operates for use by its customers, who do not pay for owning the software itself but for using it. Centric CRM delivers its software using both methods, allowing its customers to choose the approach that works best for them.

• Team Elements Launch Release

  FINAL For further details please contact: Hazel Butters or James Gerber Prompt Communications on behalf of CentricCRM Tel: 617.576.5763 / 617.291.9899 centriccrm@prompt-communications.com Centric CRM redefines Enterprise 2.0 with release of Centric Team Elements Discussions, blogs, wikis, RSS and more seamlessly integrated with front office CRM system - Available for download under the Open Software License (OSL 3.0), one of the open source licenses approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) - NORFOLK, VA June 28, 2007 Centric CRM, a leading developer of open source Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology, has released a preview version of its new Centric Team Elements suite, which will bring Enterprise 2.0 capabilities to businesses of all sizes. The term Enterprise 2.0 describes the business use of social networking and Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis and RSS feeds. Centric Team Elements goes well beyond the standard definition of Enterprise 2.0 to include project management, issue tracking, document repositories and discussion forums, in a way that could redefine a generations way of working. Centric Team Elements is the first complete, open source, Java-based Enterprise 2.0 product. It ties together discussions, wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, issue tracking and trouble- ticketing, project management, document management, and federated search in a single, unified application running on a relational database. Centric Team Elements is the only team collaboration product to offer all of these capabilities within a single application. Like Centric CRM, the companys best-of-breed open source CRM program which is used by some of the worlds largest companies, Team Elements is enterprise class and offers scalability, role-based permissions and secure access as well as all of the benefits of unstructured collaboration. Because Centric Team Elements shares the same architecture as Centric CRM, it can seamlessly integrate Enterprise 2.0 features with a companys front office operations. Centric Team Elements users can create departmental discussion forums, wikis and blogs; maintain document repositories with literature and presentations; set up and track detailed project plans; and establish RSS feeds with departmental news. Individual employees can then subscribe to those feeds, create their own blogs, submit complaints and issues, and provide ratings and reviews of the various services and components delivered by the system. Since all of this content is fully indexed, companies will be able to search for and find corporate information with the same ease and high rates of success that are now the norm on the Web. Centric Team Elements has allowed us to implement a slew of best practices around how our management and employees collaborate on a daily basis, said William Yu, senior vice president, Information Systems, for the Panda Restaurant Group. Externally, Centric Team Elements can be deployed as a customer-facing, community- management system which can support a companys efforts to generate viral marketing within its community of stakeholders. Public users will be able to subscribe to company RSS feeds and blogs, browse and contribute to wikis, rate products and services, submit issues and complaints, and interact with other customers and stakeholders. Centric Team Elements scales to support tens of thousands of users and already powers the Centric CRM community of 10,000 registered users as well as the community site of the Open Solutions Alliance (www.opensolutionsalliance.org). By combining internal and external networking, Centric Team Elements makes seamless communication possible from consumer, through the business to the employee and back again. A customer, for example, might find a particular employees blog worth subscribing to; and an employee might find a particular customer or customer segments ratings useful. Years ago, email introduced a drastic change to the way people conducted business and business relationships. The unified, comprehensive nature of our open source Centric Team Elements product will bring about a similar change, and make social networking and community management a key part of everyday business interaction, said David Richards, chief executive officer, Centric CRM. Todays preview release clearly shows how we will integrate community tools like blogs and wikis with business processes like project management and issue tracking in a single application. Pricing, Licensing and Availability Centric Team Elements version 0.9 is immediately available and is already in use by commercial customers. The product is available as a hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) application with low monthly user-based pricing. A Community Edition of Centric Team Elements is available for download under the Open Software License (OSL 3.0), one of the open source licenses approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI). The Enterprise Edition offers additional functionality and comes with technical support and other benefits that are included as part of an annual subscription contract. Subscriptions are priced in 10-user blocks for small and mid-sized companies, with an unlimited server edition available for larger enterprises or external community deployments. The 1.0 production release of the product will be available during the third quarter.
