You use Skype, right? Skype is now the Integrated Instant Messenger

With over 500 million user accounts, Skype is the world's most used instant messenger, having passed Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and AIM. It is for that reason this popular application is now the default integrated instant messenger within your HyperOffice portal. No other messenger connects you instantaneously with more people or offers greater features, including free user-user voice calls, video calls, and file transfers.

The integrated messenger is very simple to use. There are a few ways to send out an IM through your HyperOffice portal:

Top Bar - there is an IM button in the top navigation bar, next to the Help and Logout buttons. This will open the Skype messenger.
Contact Manager - there is a Skype icon next to the names of Skype users within your contact manager. By clicking this icon, you have an immediate choice of calling or chatting with the person. Skype will open directly to this user.
Shared Documents Manager - same as the Skype icon in the Contact Manager described above. You will see the Skype icon next to the name of anybody who has worked on the document. This allows for instant online collaboration on documents and files.

Interlinking - The RIGHT Information at Your Fingertips

Interlinking is an innovative idea born from customer feedback and based on real operational requirements. Each user - and by extension workgroup - has specific requirements that will change over time. To accommodate a diverse and changing set of user requirements and behaviors we developed the interlinking feature. As you work on different projects you can easily link documents, tasks, events, contacts and even email records to create a virtual blueprint of all pieces and parts that are relevant to a project, event or customer. Once this virtual blue print is in place you can easily track and review all information relevant to a task, project, event, customer...etc. Yet better as this information changes HyperOffice will keep track and continually update your virtual blueprint.

Link Data - Link all relevant data in your contact, document, email, task, voting and links folders.
Link across personal and group folders - Regardless of whether you've stored your information in your personal or group folders, interlinking can be used between the two.
Create Unlimited Links - You can link up as many items as you want. There is no limit.
Link-Back Feature - A 2-way link is created between items so that the link can be viewed regardless of how you are trying to access the information. You don't have to remember where you linked from.
One step Linking - When linking an object; you can create a link at the same time. For example, when you are linking a document to a contact you can create the contact at the same time as you are linking (a 1-step process).

Other Enhancements

Extend the power of shared calendaring beyond your portal - When you set up a meeting, you can now invite contacts that are not members of your portal. You can set up meetings, check schedules, link relevant documents and send invitations to any user whether a member of your portal or not.

Shared contact management integrated with email - You can now add a contact from an email to your shared contacts with two clicks.

Calendar Notification - The person setting up a meeting is now notified when attendees respond no or want the meeting rescheduled; and, if the person setting up the meeting cancels the meeting, then all the invitees will get a cancellation notice.

Search Documents - You can now search for documents stored in your HyperOffice account.

Simpler, faster Linking - When linking an object, you can now create a link at the same time. For example, when you are linking a document to a contact, you can create the contact at the same time -- a one-step process.

All these enhancements are streamed in at no extra cost. HyperOffice users "pay as you grow" - around $7 per month, per user.

Upgraded Online Document Management & Document Collaboration System

The HyperOffice Document Management System enables anytime-anywhere online document access and document collaboration across your team. And we've added some great new features, including overwrite protection, version control, online commenting, deletion recovery, and HyperDrive desktop folders.

Online overwrite protection.

If one user already has a document-in-progress open, HyperOffice alerts the next user and prevents accidental overwriting between concurrent users.
And if a team member accidentally deletes a document, you can easily recover it with just one click.

Document Workflow Tools.

HyperOffice automatically saves and names multiple versions of the same document, and you can roll back to a previous version if needed.
Plus, easily create and review comments for each online document, and create an audit trail on document histories.

Web Folders.

Save documents to the special "HyperDrive" folder, accessible from your desktop, and your files are automatically saved in your online HyperOffice folders, and vice-versa.
It's the best of Desktop and "Webtop" computing combined.

March 2007

Upgraded E-mail System

Auto Responder/Reply
