F3 Technologies Discusses Business Benefits of Knowledge Sharing Implementation
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Sept. 4 -- F3 Technologies (Pink Sheets: AUMN), an Atlanta-based SaaS development company providing on-demand Internet solutions to consumers and small to mid-sized companies, launched the Knowledge Sharing service this week, just one of many modules in the Ascend(TM) Global Business System to be released. As business customers and consumers evaluate this Ascend(TM) offering, F3 Technologies' CEO, Frank Connor, further identifies the benefits of implementing such an effective tool. With so many easy-to-use features and its cost-effectiveness, it's hard to imagine this solution not significantly impacting the way knowledge is shared within a company and with clients.
Upload Process
With Ascend(TM) Knowledge Sharing, users no longer have to use the cumbersome upload controls currently in use on most online applications. This upload control allows users to upload multiple files and entire directories in seconds from either the web-based Ascend(TM) interface or directly from Microsoft(R) Office(R) products using the Knowledge Sharing toolbar add-in. Upon upload, an email will be sent to every user with permissions to the folder in which the file is being uploaded to along with a link to that file. This feature can also be turned off by the folder owner as well.
Collaboration
Ascend(TM) KS offers a collaboration toolbar that integrates with the Microsoft Office(R) productivity suite. Using this toolbar, users are able to "check out" files and documents, make updates, and then save changes back to Knowledge Sharing, without ever leaving the Microsoft(R) product. This unique feature enables users to collaborate seamlessly across the Internet eliminating the need to spend thousands of dollars on a VPN solution.
More Control, Less Complexity
With Ascend(TM) Knowledge Sharing, customers' information is never compromised in anyway. To accomplish this, Knowledge Sharing provides a permissions scheme that promotes the utmost security while still maintaining flexibility for the company's growth. When creating new directories, Knowledge Sharing Administrators are able to create permissions on multiple levels. Not only can they select what users have access to directories, but they can also choose what actions each user/group is allowed to perform. Whether it's granting read, write, delete, copy or move permissions, the highest level of data integrity is ensured.
Email / File Server Conservation
Typically, users within an organization use the company email system to share and comment on documents, which can use large amounts of bandwidth and storage. In addition, most email systems restrict the size of the document being attached to the email. With Knowledge Sharing, users simply upload the document to the appropriate folder, and the system automatically emails an alert to all users with permissions to that directory. This process conserves both bandwidth and storage on company email servers.
Security
F3 Technologies strives to be the most trusting business solution provider on the web. Customer information is secure using 128-bit SSL and enhanced database encryption technologies. Users can rest assured knowing its data is in good hands.
Pricing and Availability
The new Ascend(TM) Knowledge Sharing became available on September 1st, 2008 for $9.95 per user per month for 2GB of data storage. For information or to sign up for an account online, please go to http://www.ascendgbs.com/.
