Get the right information to the right people at the right time and keep people consistently and instantly informed

Innovative businesses are adopting new search, syndication, subscription and social network technologies and discovering new ways to enrich the value of information while streamlining internal and external communications.

Web feeds and collaborative publishing tools like blogs and wikis are driving fundamental changes in how businesses can effectively communicate internally and externally. These tools allow knowledge workers to publish, track, monitor and be notified of new and constantly changing information without having to search or request it. The long-term benefit of these software tools is that they accelerate interactive improvements and increase awareness through knowledge sharing of strategic initiatives, internal processes, customer opportunities, competitive threats and industry trends impacting your business.

This new approach increases the opportunity for productive employee/supplier/partner/customer interactions that are critical to executing business strategy, growing revenues and increasing operating margins. ]]> tag:www.attensa.com,2006:/customers//6.208 2006-11-10T19:12:00Z 2008-01-07T20:30:46Z

Information consumers can automatically keep up with industry research on a continual basis. By subscribing to RSS feeds covering market and trend data from industry research groups, government agencies, news sources, and thought leaders, changes in business environments can be sent directly to workers on a real-time basis. Researchers and knowledge workers no longer have to manually check for updates. New information is sent directly to subscribers as soon as it is published.

Attensa for Outlook's sophisticated search capabilities can be used to access multiple search engines simultaneously. Simply typing search keyword queries once will launch searches across multiple search engines. Search results are updated automatically on a continuous basis.

With tagging tools and custom OPML files, targeted news feeds can then be created to keep team members and management up to speed.

With your team connected to the Attensa Feed Server, standard subscriber lists can be created based on project teams, department management, or any other designation; target information to exactly who needs it.

In a marketing department, the benefits of automated searches can be seen in their use to continuously monitor media coverage of the company. Persistent RSS search makes it possible to listen to all of the communities engaging with your brand: your customers, suppliers, partners, employees and shareholders.

Blogs, Wikis and RSS inspire collaboration and create teams and communities working collectively toward a common end, creating improvements and solving problems interactively. These online publishing and syndication tools also  eliminate barriers imposed by conventional communications by expanding transparency and providing a persistent source of information. 

Departments and cross-functional teams communicate vast amounts of information daily. Using RSS subscription feeds to automatically update team members reduces information clutter and helps to deliver the right information to the right people with ease. Team members can benefit from automatically updated project management information including project status, shared knowledge, and changes in planning timelines, milestones, and general progress reports. This includes internal communications behind a firewall and is secured on both the inbound and outbound transmissions.

When a project team member has done the work of identifying valuable information, coworkers should be able to take advantage of that work without duplicating effort. This can be implemented easily using tagging and RSS and collaborative publishing software tools currently available to create a "must-read" news feed that coworkers can easily subscribe to.

Each time content captures a team member's attention and is considered useful, the content can be tagged with appropriate keywords so that every team member receives the latest information automatically.

The Attensa Feed Server puts the power of collaborative workspace software and RSS technology to work helping businesses solve problems, spark innovation and improve decision-making.

Blogs and wikis used with subscription web feeds have a huge advantage over traditional intranets. Knowledge creators publish information in context, improving the value of content, and information is sent to subscribers automatically rather than relying on them to obtain it manually.  With the Attensa Feed Server administrators can create standard subscriber lists based on project teams, department management, or any other designation, and target information to exactly who needs it.

Every organization has critical information workflows that can be communicated via RSS feeds. In manufacturing environments, anything from machine status, productivity and yield data, schedules, order and material management, and cost data can be delivered via feeds. Publishing companies can communicate internal information like material costs, order and fulfillment status, and external information including the published content itself.
