There is a fundamental shift in the way we communicate today. Over the years communication has evolved from rudimentary modes of information exchange to an integrated tool that is no longer flat. Now, communication is a dynamic amalgam fusing the social, cultural, technical and borderless into supreme possibilities. Injoos bases its foundation on this very reality.
It is extremely interesting to note that the mighty email was created a little over 50 years ago. We've come a long way from smoke signals and the telegram, have we not? E-mail marked a significant advancement in modern day information exchange; however, the invention of the World Wide Web threw open the doors to the shift we have now embraced as the way to plug in and be represented.
No longer are we shackled to a desk or dependent on network cables. We now boldly take our work, friends, family - our very lives with us on the road. Convergence of technology and the resulting applications and solutions have pushed the boundaries of the humble mobile phone to replace our desks and laps. We're now touch screening our way into the future. The question is, how do we keep up with ourselves?
Email verily marked the start of the web era. No question. However, one of the biggest issues with it? There was no business tool beyond it. Everyone used their email programs to share documents, start discussions, exchange confidential documentation, share personal updates as well as schedule their professional and private appointments.
Although the email platform is a unified interface, all of the information is essentially locked into mailboxes, extremely hard to search and completely dependent on the individual's ability to manage his or her email program, it's folders and add-ons.
Chat applets emerged as a possible next step to fill the gap, but was shortlived. It could not provide a one-stop comprehensive fix like email had started to. Email was thus heavily relied on and overused beyond it's natural evolutionary capacity as an effective business tool.
With the advent of Web 2.0 and beyond, social networks, RSS feeds, knowledge portals and realtime business solutions mushroomed into the very fabric of our social and economic existence. What we now needed was smart integration.
With this as a backdrop, Injoos was founded in 2007 to invent the next generation collaboration platform that combines the simplicity and UGC features of social networks and harnesses the power of project, enterprise document and knowledge managements tools into a single, hosted web based application.
The evolving DNA of Information Technology will completely alter the way it is provisioned and consumed in enterprises. A large part is owed to the emerging paradigms of Cloud Computing (Hardware) and Software as a Service (SAAS). Injoos vision is to act as a dashboard to this new online world enabling easy access and superior information management through its social intranet platform.
