GroupSwim is a great business application for collaboration and community. Here are the specific reasons why we, our customers and analysts think so:
1. Easy to use - Our software is simple to use . We “borrow” techniques from software most people already know and then invent the rest. We put videos everywhere, religiously update on-line help, run our own customer community, and answer emails and the phone faster than you can believe.
2. SIFT – SIFT stands for Social Intelligence Forensic Technology. This is the name of the platform that underlies the GroupSwim applications. This is the secret sauce that allows us to auto-tag content, identify experts by topic, find related information, suggest related questions as users type them, and more. SIFT significantly enhances the value of the content you and your customers put into GroupSwim by making connections you might not know exist and proactively identifying content based on user history and interests.
3. Customers – We are fortunate to have a growing list of fantastic customers. They provide great feedback and support us through thick-and-thin. The list includes software companies, consulting firms, designers, not-for-profits, schools, power companies, financial services, affiliations, and more.
4. Social - We built GroupSwim on the premise that information and people are connected. Knowledge with no context loses much of it’s value. By knowing who worked on something, what they know, what they follow, our customers get much more value from the discussions, files and wiki pages they use in GroupSwim.
5. Team – Our team is top notch. Everyone is deeply committed to our customers and building awesome software. We are the kind of vendor you want in your corner as you run your business.
6. The alternatives are not good- If you aren’t using GroupSwim today, you probably shuffle between email, files everywhere, sharepoint, a wiki (maybe), and other frustrating tools. Imagine all this in one fantastic package.
7. Cost- GroupSwim is a great value no matter how you cut it. The time we save and the loyalty and value created drive the return-on-investment off the charts. GroupSwim requires no hardware, consulting services, training or time to set-up so you can get your site going immediately.
8. One place to go- By using GroupSwim, your employees and customers don’t need to know what application they are in or have multiple places to search. GroupSwim has search boxes everywhere and scans discussions, questions, files (including the contents), wiki pages, member profiles in one simple step.
9. New features - We roll out new product at a remarkable rate. We do major releases every two months and minor releases each month.
10. User adoption - People use GroupSwim with no training and very little encouragement.
I’m sure you will agree that there aren’t many software companies you know of that can count all these qualities. We hope you agree.
