The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
07/23/2008
MindTouch today announces a new version of its open source collaboration and collective intelligence platform. MindTouch Deki (formerly Deki Wiki) "Kilen Woods" delivers new workflow capabilities, new enterprise adapters and usability improvements to help information workers, IT professionals, developers and others to collaborate and connect disparate enterprise systems and data sources.
ebizQ received the following:
"The latest release of MindTouch Deki demonstrates the significant growth that our platform has had from a year ago when we introduced the new platform at OSCON 2007," says Aaron Fulkerson, co-founder and CEO, MindTouch. "MindTouch Deki has evolved into a powerful platform that is the connective tissue for integrating disparate enterprise systems, web services, and Web 2.0 applications, and enables real-time collaboration and collective intelligence -- dynamic data collection and application integration."
Fulkerson continues, "MindTouch Deki Enterprise offers adapters to widely-used IT and developer systems behind the firewall and in the cloud, which allows for IT governance no matter where your data lives. MindTouch Deki Enterprise is the only wiki-based platform that offers this level of sophistication and flexibility."
MindTouch Deki "Kilen Woods" addresses the needs of customers by providing them the same easy to use wiki collaboration interface, but introduces a dozen enterprise adapters to a various systems and new web-services:
With the addition of these adapters and existing extensions to over 100 web services, users can surface data and behavior from these applications, create basic workflow, mashups, dynamic reports and dashboards. This allows for a collaborative macro-view of multiple systems in a common wiki-like interface.
MindTouch Deki enables businesses to connect and mashup the growing number of application and data silos that exist across an enterprise – including legacy systems, CRM and ERP applications, databases, and Web 2.0 applications. This effectively fills the collaboration gap across systems for all enterprises. For example, MindTouch Deki can visualize content from a Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Access databases and mash it up with other services, such as Microsoft Live Earth or Google maps, LinkedIn and a CRM system– offering a common wiki and web-service interface for content and behavior from multiple sources.
Site administrators simply need to register external applications, and business users – without any technical knowledge or background in programming – can immediately create powerful mashups, easy-to-use templates, dynamic reports and dashboards that can be shared and used among colleagues, customers, and suppliers. By connecting existing applications in new ways, MindTouch Deki helps businesses get more value from their applications and infrastructure.
MindTouch Deki can quickly be embedded into existing applications or accessed from specialized front-ends on the web or desktop. With the desktop connector, users can simply drag and drop an entire directory structure from Microsoft Windows to MindTouch Deki – and the hierarchy will be automatically created as wiki pages. Users can also publish an entire email thread from Microsoft Outlook, complete with all attachments, to MindTouch Deki in a single click.
MindTouch Deki "Kilen Woods" is being showcased at OSCON this week, and will be available for download later this month.

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
