Information is one of the most valuable resources a company has. Many
large corporates have complex, vast Intranets maintained by the Technical team to
disseminate this information, and until the advent of Exoplex that seemed the only
alternative.
These Intranets are designed like miniature, private Internets and have both the
accessibility and complexities of the Net. Move one document and blank links start to
appear, the whole thing is tightly coded and immobile. Exoplex is a new approach to
company Intranets and makes it possible for any size of company, with or without a
technical resource, to create their own system to share information.
Every piece of information such as a spreadsheet, a document, or the marketing plan is
designated as a Topic. Topics are collected into logical groups called Libraries, which
can be organized to suit the individual without losing any of the logical structure.
Exoplex generates the HTML automatically so that the Topics can be viewed through
traditional Internet browsers with the associated ease of use that method gives.
The concept is startlingly simple, and the product is equally simple to use. In earlier
beta incarnations Exoplex revealed all the highly technical programming that goes to make
it work, however with V0.4 the interface has changed beyond recognition. Installation
takes seconds and is automatic, and the programme launches a friendly Wizard which creates
the first Topic for you, and leads you to a demonstration Library full of ideas for your
company. It includes a good way to utile Exoplex to ensure that customers receive accurate
and up to date quotes - an essential for any business. There are copious White Papers on
the company Web site for further information and support, plus a technical support service
by email.
Exoplex is innovative, technical and complex. But you would never know that when you use
it - to the user it is a simple way to build a dynamic, user-friendly company Intranet
that allows all the staff to contribute and use the information held by a company. It
requires no technical staff, no poweruser computers and no programming. To use Exoplex all
you need is common sense and a desire for company information to be available to everyone
on the team.
