We can’t help but feel the slight self satisfaction of the “I told you so” feeling at the recent debate raging between corporate technology pundits. The moot point is “SharePoint in Enterprise 2.0″ and it seems like almost every who’s who in the space has something to say.
The general verdict is in the direction “Sharepoint has serious shortcomings as an enterprise 2.0 tool”. What especially pleases us is that we have been making the same arguments for years now for growing businesses. We have long seen that Sharepoint has serious shortcomings as a collaboration solution for growing businesses, which is why we have positioned ourselves strongly as a “Sharepoint Alternative“, and have gained a high relevance in the arena (high ranking in Google results for “SharePoint alternative” shall testify).

We learned today that HyperOffice won the April Collaboration & Productivity Award by SaaSDirectory. We’re very proud to be recognized as a leader in the hosted collaboration and messaging market. With the rapid adoption by SaaS in the SMBs, I’m hearing many business owners have a hard time cutting through the noise by some of the unproven vendors jumping on the SaaS bandwagon. SaaSDirectory may be helpful to help SMBs shortlist reputable business collaboration software. Thank you SaaSDirectory.

Collaboration suites like HyperOffice have certainly made small and medium businesses more productive by helping distributed teams share information; but email remains as the primary mode to communicate with people outside your organization. While HyperOffice advocates leveraging intranets to collaborate, some of the folks you need to communicate with are not part of your intranet or extranet portal. Our customers have been telling us that they want a way to send email broadcast to customers, members, and constituents. To address this growing need HyperOffice now offers HyperCampaign. Why can’t I just bcc: all my recipients you may ask. Well, if you bcc a large group some email providers have limits on how many people you can bcc. HyperCampaign also offers additional tools that streamline the administration of sending emails to a large audience regularly, while providing valuable statistics to help you improve your communications. Not to mention we can ensure a high delivery rate for your email campaigns.
Here are some of the requirements our clients asked for:
I want to track who opened my email
I want to make sure the email gets through
I want to comply with email marketing regulations
I want to manage lists, and setup drip campaigns
If you are thinking about leveraging email to stay in front of your customers, members, volunteers, etc. you may want to consider automating this function within your communications group with HyperCampaign.
I found this interesting article at SmartBiz that does a good job explaining what to consider when setting up automated email communications for your organization.
