Everything you need to collaborate
Communifire combines every type of collaboration and community tool you need,
making it easy for your people to work together. You get user profiles, status updates, activity feeds, groups & spaces, discussion forums, file & document sharing, content publishing, notifications, and much more.
Communifire solves real world problems
We’ve seen our customers use Communifire in many different and exciting ways -- it's virtually unlimited.
To give you some ideas and to help you get thinking about how you can use Communifire in your business,
here are some of the most common cases:
Company Intranet
Create a secure, private space for all of your employees or members of your business
-- which can constitute an important component and focal point of internal communication
and collaboration within your company as a whole. Share companywide news, investor updates,
events, and more … while maintaining full control of who can access the information.
Company Departments
Create a space for each of the separate departments or divisions within your
business. Set one up for HR to host company policy information and answer
your employees questions. Give Marketing & Sales their own space to collaborate
on business leads, sales tactics, and manage their daily to-do lists. Create a space for IT
to collaborate on development topics, track software bugs, and share technical documentation.
Customer Extranets
Communifire provides a secure online environment where information can be shared
externally with your customers, partners, and suppliers -- and it's fully customizable.
Keep everyone in the loop, giving clients full visibility of each and every stage of their
projects -- managing approvals is simple with our robust permission system.
Knowledge Management
Avoid having "locked" knowledge, content, and expertise on peoples laptops and desktops or hidden
deep in their inboxes by storing your information in Communifire. Upload documents and content
into a wiki or use blogs and articles to create a public or private knowledgebase that can be
accessed from anywhere, anytime.
Project Management
Manage individual projects by having all necessary information and documents in one place.
Invite team members to track project timelines, share related documents, manage tasks, and
communicate and collaborate effectively to get things done faster.
Marketing & Sales
Launch a public space based around one of your products or services, where you can provide
marketing literature, blog posts, and articles. Field questions and answers, get feedback with
polls, and build a community of people around your specific product or service.
Who benefits?
Whether you're an enterprise, a growing business, or an association,
your employees, your customers,
and your members are hungry for connection.
Give them what they want without giving up control.
Your employees
Escape org charts and email inboxes. Unite marketing, IT, operations,
sales, and product development so they can collaborate like never before. Form teams
around topics of interest and around individual projects. Comment on each other's work.
Your customers
Communifire breaks down the walls
between you and your customers by giving you a private communication booth.
Say goodbye to call centers. Get more business from the customers you already have. A public
forum connects customers with each other, too.
Your Members
Are you losing members because your people aren't as connected as they
could be? Don't let them flounder on Facebook when you can give them a better experience
on your own platform. Take back control of your community with Communifire.
What can you do with Communifire?
Feed your business by making room for everyone at the table. Communifire's multi-purpose features allow you to:
Stay updated, start a conversation, and share information in real-time ...
... with the Activity Stream, the hub and center of your users experience.
It's microblogging at its best. Your people will have a better awareness of what
others are working on in the company. Share anything, like latest news, insights, status updates, business intelligence, company initiatives, customer opportunities, and more.
Collaborate on projects more efficiently and share best practices...
...with sub-communities, group pages, discussion forums, the Wiki, blogs, the article manager,
a private messaging system, photo and file sharing, and RSS feeds. All your users
have their own profiles and blogs, and can comment on each other's work. As an
administrator, you always retain full control.
Streamline workflow and break free from hard-drive file folders...
...with the Wiki and with document sharing. The document manager lets you upload, share, and track
changes throughout a document's lifecycle. And workflow becomes less work and more flow.
Searching by keyword lets you easily find relevant files -- and discussions.
Give customers boutique service...
...by providing individual support pages, a social helpdesk,
discussion forums, knowledge base, and more. Customers can
always log in and see a history of how you helped them.
Engage employees and members...
...with such features as individual blogs, friend lists, a point system --
to reward those who contribute -- and voting buttons. By enabling your users to
generate community content, you also increase your visibility in search engine
rankings. Your community becomes an irresistible source of fresh ideas and discussions.

How It's Different
You have a few choices in this space. Naturally, we think you should choose ours. Here's why.
-
Communifire is strong enough for an enterprise, but easy enough for a startup.
- Communifire is one of the only social collaboration platforms built on an ASP.NET architecture, and you won't find another platform with cleaner code. We took the time to do this right. No cobbled-together open source platforms here. Just pure, clean, simple architecture.
- Having enterprise-strength architecture means updates are a snap, you won't need as much support, and your application will always scale. Even if your business is small now, isn't it nice to know that your social networking software isn't holding you back? If you're a developer, it's easy to integrate the application with other apps.
-
You get personalized support and customization.
- We help you set it up, customize it, and get up and running.
- If you want a social networking feature, it's likely here in the Standard Version. If not, just tell us, and we'll build it for you. Discover more about the features.
-
You get more features at a lower cost.
- Communifire brings together every type of social networking tool you need -- blogs, wikis, forums, articles, and more -- to offer you a complete business collaboration platform. You could develop such a platform yourself. But that would require a team of developers and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Or, you could purchase our system, whose architecture lets you easily plug in your favorite features without changing the entire application.
"Tell me about the technology. I want to know the inner workings."
Glad you asked. Communifire is built using the latest ASP.NET 4.0 platform with full AJAX support, jQuery, and all the Web 2.0+ bells and whistles you need.
Although we're quite proud of our technology, we understand that social software isn't about technology -- it's about people. Your technology should work so well that your people don't have to worry about it. And the people who provide the platform should understand that you and your people come first. Always.
Our Guarantee
Communifire comes with two guarantees:
- Your software is guaranteed to work. Bugs happen sometimes. When they do, we fix them promptly and with a smile.
- You're guaranteed personalized support, including implementation, installation, and setup. Your platform will be easy to use, flexible, and scalable.
Need an extra hand? Let us customize something just for you. Installation and set up usually take less than a few days. Complex customizations can take longer.
