One of the world leaders in the market of corporate systems SaaS (software as a service, that is, desktop programs running via the Internet), the company
Salesforce.com , has released content management system ContentExchange. This system creates a platform in the corporate network for communication around the placer of unstructured documents DOC, RTF, video / audio, etc., which are abundantly present in any company. In appearance (tag cloud, comments, RSS feeds, Ajax interface), the new CMS resembles popular Web 2.0 applications.

Interestingly, the WebExchange ContentExchange engine was created by a small startup
Koral Technologies (they
showed their development at the recent exhibition DEMO'2007), but it became known about the purchase of this startup only now, simultaneously with the announcement of Salesforce ContentExchange. This is her first time when Salesforce buys a whole company for the sake of the program you like.
ContentExchange is built around documents. They are published, edited (there is support for versions), commented and tagged. The intellectual system itself suggests suitable tags by analyzing the content, but you can specify your own, unique tags. There is a vote (thumbs up and thumbs down) for each document. You can subscribe to any informational flow (by author or tag) or to the version of a separate file via RSS. Standard bureaucratic procedures for approving documents and assigning tasks are also supported.

Of course, ContentExchange is closely integrated with other software development Salesforce, including the popular in the west CRM-system.
As a corporate CMS, Salesforce ContentExchange will compete with Microsoft Sharepoint, EMC Documentum, Hummingbird, IBM FileNet and Corel Lightning.
