New Product: IMAlerts for Microsoft SharePoint Helps Maximize the Value of SharePoint As an Enterprise Collaboration Platform

November 4, 2009 -- New product IMAlerts is an enterprise collaboration solution integrating instant messaging and Microsoft SharePoint for the delivery of critical business information as alerts to users.

Microsoft SharePoint helps organizations get more done by providing a platform for sharing information and working together in teams, communities and people-driven processes.

To help users keep track of changes made to a SharePoint site, Microsoft SharePoint includes the alerts feature, which is an e-mail notification service.

The Alerts feature is instrumental in improving collaboration between the organization's employees and helps boost the employees' productivity.

However, according to researchers from Glasgow and Paisley Universities, the sheer volume of e-mail that comes in during the day, combined with the pressure to answer quickly, is stressing out employees.

In fact, the situation is so bad that some companies have no choice but to disable SharePoint alerts altogether, thus effectively depriving themselves of some of the valuable advantages of SharePoint as an enterprise collaboration platform.

IMAlerts software has been created to solve this problem.

Using IMAlerts, developed by Yardley, Pennsylvania-based Accio Intellectum LLC, SharePoint users receive notifications (alerts) when events occur in SharePoint, for example, a document has been modified, a new task has been assigned, etc., using instant messages instead of email. Notifications can be sent via a free Google Talk instant messaging network or any other Jabber/XMPP-compatible public or private network.

IMAlerts is an application that is easy to use. No special training is required, and the end users find a familiar and intuitive interface such as Web pages seamlessly integrated into their existing SharePoint websites. Any XMPP-compatible client software can be used to receive alerts.

With IMAlerts, end users simply create subscriptions for being notified of events occurring in document libraries, Tasks lists, Issues, Wiki libraries, and virtually any other SharePoint lists and libraries. These subscriptions are then processed by IMAlerts, and notifications are generated and sent when events happen which match those subscriptions. Alerts are delivered to any PC or mobile device regardless of its operating system.

IMAlerts extends and enhances the shared information and collaboration advantages of Microsoft's SharePoint, improves collaboration between people, teams, and departments, and increases employees' productivity, giving companies a competitive edge in today's fast-paced marketplace.

IMAlerts is completely independent of SharePoint built-in email alerts, and therefore can be used not only in addition to, but also instead of, email alerts.

IMAlerts is easier to use and more affordable than other products currently sold in the marketplace. Pricing for IMAlerts starts at $689 for Standard edition (licensed per server), with volume pricing discounts for 3 or more licenses.

A 100% free Express Edition and a free 30-day trial are also available.

The company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
