Leveraging the New Web
 The New Web is interactive and enables professionals to work together like never before.
Near-Time is a Web 2.0-based service that leverages the power of the New Web, giving organizations a way to transform themselves via scalable, location-independent interaction, knowledge and content.
From prospects to customers, suppliers to partners, authors and publishers to readers, Near-Time offers strategic advantage and new opportunities. It provides "just-in-time" interaction and content for increasingly virtual and distributed workgroups and organizations.
 Interaction drives relationships
Approachability and easy interaction make it easy to share new perspectives, educate and influence. Leveraging the social computing power of the New Web, groups of all sizes, types and regions can discover each other and work together, all through the Internet. Contextual tools enable organizations to plug into communities. With interaction comes a group's best efforts - the process of finding and creating what's next.
The New Web calls for new thinking and new platforms. Fortunately, Near-Time is here to help.
 The New Web Platform
Organizations of all sizes and types rely on a diversity of rich information to get their points across. The New Web enables people to quickly and inexpensively put text, graphics, audio and video to work in communicating. URL's are becoming channels of interaction that any organization can leverage to become a media company. And, thanks to podcasting, broadcasting content to groups privately or to the Web at large is free and frictionless.
Near-Time content can be private, semi-private or broadcast throughout to the Web.
 New essentials for the New Web
Two new platforms are driving the New Web - blogs and Wikis. Blogs have taken off as powerful means for individuals to author and share content with others. Wikis empower workgroups with interactive group authoring. While blogs are serial in nature, Wikis are perfect for ongoing information development. While each can be useful when used separately, together they create a powerful, collaborative knowledge base.
Near-Time leverages the New Web by integrating blogs, Wikis, group calendars and file management.
 Software as a service means business
Traditional forms of collaboration isolate internal and external groups. Legacy intranets and extranets simply do not provide the ad hoc flexibility needed for seamless interaction. Today's network driven organization requires platforms that integrate. Hosted services make it easy for groups to quickly and easily come together on the Web.
Near-Time's hosted service provides common ground for groups all over the Web to come together.
 Controls maximize flexibility
While blogs and Wikis provide essential means for interaction, Near-Time provides a host of services to manage the collaborative experience. Collaborative content can be private, semi-private or totally public. Using Near-Time, communications can be one-to-one, to the Web at large, and everything in between. Near-Time also supports roles and permissions, so that the interactive process can be managed, from open to tightly controlled.
Near-Time brings it all together
Near-Time brings collaboration, content, and task and knowledge management together. The group mind can use Near-Time to tap into content and context, resulting in rich knowledge bases and institutional memories. Near-Time thrives on interaction and iteration. The more collaboration, the better the results. Best of all, you and your groups can be up and running with Near-Time in less than a minute. Upgrade your team now with Near-Time.
