I saw an online demo of the Koral collaboration and content management system, and I was blown away by the features and capabilities of the system. How awesome is it that tools like what Koral has created can truly democratize the collaborative experience often reserved for the big enterprise apps. I’m a fan of these collaborative tools for enabling real business innovation.
Koral seems to have the table stakes functions for collab tools, but it also has some breakout features, including allowing the folks who submit artifact to tag items, great structured and unstructured data search, and a slick synchronization feature that allows users to drag and drop a folder to the desktop and keep artifacts sync’d. One of the breakouts in terms of the common language around the system seems to be the lack of talking about a file/folder structure. In this era of unstructured search, we’ll see these types of structures become less important as artifacts and content are structured by use or function rather than location.
Koral is onto something worth watching.
