OpenTeams: web-based collaboration software

OpenTeams is a wiki-like web-based collaboration software that promises some impressive results. Web Worker Daily does an excellent job reviewing OpenTeams. OpenTeams is basically a wiki with a GUI wrapped around it. Having a GUI makes it easier for inexperienced users to dive right into the product and see immediate productivity gains.

OpenTeams addresses these objections by wrapping a GUI around the wiki. Individual wiki pages are still there, but they’re pushed into the right-hand pane of a three-pane user interface, and edited through a rich text interface instead of via a markup language. This pane also lets you group these pages (called cPages in OpenTeams) into two higher-level constructs: a Briefing Outline (sort of like a set of notes for a presentation), or an Initiative (a project, which can contain cPages and Briefing Outlines, as well as text of its own). All of these things can have their own discussion, tags, and attached files, and there’s a tab which shows the history as well.

OpenTeams promises the following major benefits:

* Slash your inbox email 33-75%
* Reduce meetings and conference calls by half
* Accelerate projects by 25%
* Potential to double overall productivity
* Harness your firm´s collective intelligence in a dynamic knowledgebase
