Mindjet Brings Together Vision and Action to Support Better Business Collaboration
LONDON, May 21, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Mindjet Brings its Connect Applications Together across Web, Desktop and
Mobile and Announces New Customer Offerings
Collaborative Work Management provider Mindjet(R) has brought together its two Connect
products into a single service to allow users to collaborate together anytime, anywhere.
It has also announced new offerings that better reflect customer demands within their
business. The new Mindjet offerings will be generally available starting May 22nd.
Connecting Vision and Action
Up until now Mindjet provided two separate, cloud-based applications to help plan and
execute ideas and projects. Firstly, Mindjet's powerful and intuitive mapping methodology
for brainstorming, information capture and planning (Connect Action) and secondly, its
highly capable social task and work management technology (Connect Vision). The two have
now been brought together into one application, Mindjet Connect(R), giving customers
access to a platform anytime, anywhere - be it web, desktop or mobile - using a single
sign in.
Available to both free users of Connect Basic and Mindjet's Connect Business users,
the following capabilities have been added:
- A single, integrated web experience where users can collaborate on ideas,
strategies and plans and then record and manage subsequent actions through to project
completion
- Quick and easy access to the product via Facebook and Google IDs (with more to
come)
- In-product connections to tutorials and case studies so new users can get up
to speed quicker than ever
- Available storage has been doubled to 2GB for free Basic users and 5GB per
Business member (pooled between the team members)
New offerings for the evolving customer
Mindjet has also announced new offerings for enterprises, teams and individuals to
more accurately reflect how businesses use it for collaboration. Mindjet has found that
collaborating on projects and sharing information is more effective using a visual
platform - individuals use 20% less mental resources and are 17% more productive when
using visually displayed information compared to traditional office software[1].
The three new offerings are:
Mindjet for Enterprise:
- Aimed at businesses looking to collaborate effectively and securely across
larger teams, departments and external partners
- Allows users to co-ordinate, communicate and track activities of multiple
teams in the public cloud (through Mindjet Connect) or in a secure SharePoint
environment (Through Mindjet Connect SP).
- Provides legendary desktop visualization, brainstorming and project planning
through Mindjet MindManager(R)
- Offers solution templates (for example for sales, Marketing, IT or HR)
- Provides premium support and services with additional training, professional
consulting
Mindjet for Teams:
- For customers who want the speed and flexibility of a SaaS offering -
anytime, anywhere
- It combines Mindjet Connect Business and MindManager(R), along with solution
templates and guides to enable smart idea generation, work management and execution
Mindjet for Individuals:
- A product for individuals who need to create ideas, manage information and
share that work with others
- Users get the MindManager with its brainstorming and planning features with a
link to Mindjet Connect Basic, the free version of the cloud-based collaboration
product.
Further information on the three new offerings will be available at Mindjet.com
[http://www.mindjet.com ] from the 22nd May. Details on pricing can be obtained from a
local sales representative. Customers can continue to purchase Mindjet products
individually or in a combination to suit their organisation.
Supporting quotes:
Sterling G. Smith, Office Manager, Get the Point: "We use Mindjet almost as much as
email; it helps us collaborate on everything. With Mindjet we plan and run whole projects.
We brainstorm on ideas, assign tasks, get alerts and track progress on who's doing what,
when it's supposed to be done and how far along it is."
Gary Hielkema, President, Sensor Link: "With Mindjet Connect I get complete visibility
into plans and projects. I can see it, I know it and follow it. I don't have to ping
anyone anymore. I can visually see exactly where we are in our critical path, what needs
to be done first and what might what hold us up."
Chris Harman, Regional Vice President for the United Kingdom and Ireland, Northern
Europe, Middle East and Africa: "We know our customers need to do more with fewer
resources - they simply want to work better together and get work done, wherever they are.
That's why we have developed an easy to use, intuitive service that supports effective
collaboration and allows teams and organisations to be more creative, strategic and
productive. And as the demands of our users evolve so has the way we deliver our products
to meet those needs."
