New business Wiki platform

BrightSide Software has unveiled Nuospace, a Web-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) collaboration tool for small to midsize companies, enabling team members to publish and share all forms of business content in a secure community environment.

The company says Nuospace is designed with technology beginners in mind as a simple-to-use, cost-effective alternative to corporate intranets and shared hard drives. The low cost and ease of use also come with a new level of functionality, as Nuospace goes beyond current wikis, which support only documents and comments, to also include social content such as blogs and e-newsletters as individual wiki pages.

The Nuospace beta is offered at no cost here and will launch in June. The offering will be free with up to 200 megabytes and an unlimited number of users. For added memory, Nuospace will cost $50 per month. An installed server version is scheduled to be released this fall.
