Free Intranet on remindo.com to boost agency-client collaboration

Company Brief

Mumbai, December 18, 2009

Remindo (remindo.com). a free, web-based, customizable Intranet service was released to agencies and the general public after a private beta phase.

Remindo.com belongs to a wave of 'Social Business Software' and Enterprise 2.0 movement that share user experience philosophies with popular consumer sites and take them to the workplace.

On Remindo, users create an Intranet for their agency by signing up. When other co-workers sign up, they are automatically added to the same agency's Intranet. These users can then invite external people like clients, partners or freelancers into their Intranet for streamlined collaboration.

Once an Intranet is created, users can use their own agency logos to brand their Intranet. They get a VeriSign secured, customized URL for their agency Intranet as well. This is especially useful for growing agencies and freelancers as it helps them appear organized and professional to clients.

Agencies usually have to share large files like images and videos with their clients, since no email supports this, they have to rely on insecure third party file transfer services. Using their Intranet on Remindo, agencies can share files of upto 200 MB each with their clients. As these files never leave the secure environment of their intranets, there is no threat to intellectual property.

The heart of the user interface is a “share” space that people can use to post status updates, hold discussions, share links or ask questions; much like Twitter or Facebook. “Most such software fail to click with users because people have to learn to use something new, but Remindo puts users in an environment they are already familiar with and puts them immediately at ease”, explained Prateek Dubey, Marketing Manger, Remindo.

All events appear in a live activity feed that keeps users updated on what is happening in their company. This improves visibility of work progress across departments and teams, and everyone can stay in the loop without a deluge of emails.

Each intranet gets 3 GB of free storage space and also project collaboration tools like instant messenger, discussion threads, shared team calendars, milestones and task lists.

While anyone can sign up and start an intranet for their agency, Remindo only accepts valid agency email addresses. “Maintaining privacy is of paramount importance to any business so this permission based approach not only filters out unwanted people but also make intranets on Remindo, spam and malware free”, explained, Rehan Yar Khan, Founder and CEO of Remindo.

Security on these intranets is ensured by VeriSign SSL certification and each intranet gets a secure, fully https web address.

Unlike traditional enterprise software that need expensive installations, constant IT support and training, Remindo is based on the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and cloud computing model and uses Amazon Web Services. This means people can just sign up and start using their intranet from a web browser like any other website. Rehan explained, “Remindo was built to help businesses and freelancers save time and make more money without creating yet another IT related headache or compromising on security or privacy”

Remindo is perhaps India's first startup that has already been listed as a way in which social media will change, by the influential technology blogReadWriteWeb.

"Remindo is what Advertising Agencies, Media Companies and Consultants have been looking for but unable to find. Remindo has been designed ground up to bring about a great boost in productivity and morale in Service businesses", Ashok Kurien, Chairman, Publicis India, summed up.
