 Newly released version of ThoughtFarmer Intranet includes easy to use multilingual support
June 9, 2008 - Vancouver, B.C.
Today, at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston, ThoughtFarmer announced the third generation of its wiki-inspired intranet platform: ThoughtFarmer Intranet 3.0 Multilingual.
ThoughtFarmer is a simple, social way for employees to collaborate, share ideas and find information. Wiki-inspired, but without the chaos, ThoughtFarmer combines the collaborative and empowering benefits of social software with a secure and centralized intranet platform demanded by the modern enterprise.
Previous versions of ThoughtFarmer addressed the need for organizations to be able to better leverage the intellectual capital that exists at all levels of the organization. ThoughtFarmer helped companies like Intrawest Placemaking break through regional and departmental barriers, bringing together geographically dispersed colleagues with similar job functions. Idea sharing on ThoughtFarmer produced real ROI.
In version 3.0, ThoughtFarmer sets its sights on breaking through the organizational language barrier.
"Our multinational customers want to collaborate regardless of language," said ThoughtFarmer President, Darren Gibbons. "ThoughtFarmer 3.0's features allow them to cross those language boundaries." ThoughtFarmer Intranet 3.0 Multilingual includes several features to make it easy to work across multiple languages, including: Automatic detection of the intranet user's browser language Localizable interface that can be set for groups of users Intelligent fallback to the user's secondary language preference if the desired content is not available in the preferred language Easy language toggling between all available versions of the content
Multilingual search Support for all UTF-8 compliant languages, including French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean Existing ThoughtFarmer clients are eager to make the migration to version 3.0
In addition to multilingual features, ThoughtFarmer Intranet 3.0 adds new blogging, forums, and calendaring capabilities. For geographically dispersed companies, ThoughtFarmer 3.0 also supports data replication across distributed data centres. "Obviously, the language support components are a huge step forward for us," said Chris McGrath, ThoughtFarmer co-creator. "But I'm especially pleased with the performance enhancements we've achieved to support high-capacity, load-balanced deployments. And our team has done an incredible job at integrating secure blogging, forums and calendaring features while keeping the interface very simple." "We're proud of the success and growth ThoughtFarmer has achieved over the last year, and we look forward to the opportunities made possible by version 3.0. We think an easy-to-use interface, web 2.0 collaboration features and enterprise-grade scalability make for a powerful combination," added Gibbons.
ThoughtFarmer Intranet 3.0 Multilingual can be ordered now, with an expected ship date of July 7th.
