Mindjet Delivers SaaS Offering

Mindjet®, the global leader in software that enables people to visually organise, communicate and act on their ideas, today announced Mindjet Connect. Mindjet Connect is an all-new SaaS platform that helps people achieve breakthrough insight into their work by visually tying together all of the ideas, information and people related to any project or plan. Available today, it extends the capabilities of MindManager®, the company’s flagship mind mapping product.

Today more than 1.3 million professionals use MindManager as a powerful alternative to word processing and

presentation software tools that force business thinking into linear, outline-oriented documents. Mindjet Connect, which allows teams of people to collaborate with MindManager, is part of the company’s mission to ignite broader adoption of mind mapping techniques with a series of new Web applications and online services that make mapping and team collaboration more powerful and accessible.

Mindjet Connect is a hosted software-as-a-service offering that delivers three levels of functionality: the core MindManager mind mapping application; secure online workspaces where teams can co-create and edit maps simultaneously, as well as store and edit any kind of file; and unified communications tools like instant meetings, messaging and whiteboards. Teams can now use Mindjet Connect to collaborate on maps in real time. Real-time editing streamlines work processes and communications and minimises headaches and time-consuming version-control issues caused by emailing files back and forth. Individuals can store maps and any other documents in secure workspaces with version control and different access levels for various team members.

From their map or workspace, individuals can then chat with other team members and launch web conferencing to present information, share their desktops, and record notes collaboratively in a dynamic, online whiteboard.
