ARDENNO SOLUTIONS JOINS MICROSOFT EMPOWER FOR ISV'S PARTNER PROGRAM
Philadelphia, PA. USA and Manchester, UK - (19 October 2006)
Ardenno Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of Collaborative Knowledge Management software solutions for research and development, today announced that it has joined the Microsoft Empower for ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) Program as a registered member. The program will enable Ardenno to ensure it is capable of fully integrating and extending existing customer investments in Microsoft productivity and collaboration tools including the Microsoft Office System and SharePoint Portal Server.
The Microsoft ISV/Software Solutions Program recognizes the skill and focus technology partners bring to a particular solution set. To achieve ISV/Software Solutions Competency, vendors undergo a testing process to ensure solutions can be easily integrated with Microsoft-based infrastructure. Now, customers have the power to quickly extend their existing infrastructure including the Microsoft Office System, SharePoint Portal Server, and SharePoint Team Services.
According to leading industry firms, the collaboration market is set to reach a value of over $1 billion USD by 2008. As project teams increasingly work together using productivity and collaboration tools, often the valuable intellectual property - people, knowledge and conversations - associated with these project team efforts are lost. Without access to organizational best practices and knowledge, team members are left working without the benefit of this information, which impacts overall organizational productivity and efficiency.
Ardenno Collaboration Center
Ardenno's Collaboration Center solution addresses common weaknesses in a multitude of research laboratories--- around the globe. Research organizations have a common thread of pain and inefficiencies without regard for their research focus. Researchers today are generating an accelerating amount of data and are unable to maximize its value across their various research teams. The inability to share knowledge and learn from other related or useful observations in a timely manner continues to waste expensive resources and time. Today's automated hierarchical storage and compliance systems are actually making the "MyData" syndrome worse, not better. There is a better way to help make knowledge workers more knowledgeable, and leverage existing infrastructure investments. Ardenno's Collaboration Center will help disparate research teams perform smarter, and to enable them to better leverage their complimentary knowledge community.
Ardenno Town Hall
Ardenno's Town Hall provides the ability to display file and content relationships in a multi-dimensional semantic search visual display. Town Hall uses purpose-built algorithms to logically structure and present content based on relevancy and fully leverages the Ardenno Relevancy Heat Indextm within Ardenno's Collaboration Center product. Town Hall dynamically displays a file's Relevancy Heat Index from advanced algorithms with a quantitative ranking and displays a specific Heat Index color scheme to denote its quintile ranking. The creation of an Ardenno "knowledge community" in Town Hall provides increased content relevancy and a linkage between the available information and individuals across disparate research organizational silos.
