Mangosoft Signs Management Consulting Firm as Mangomind Customer
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mangosoft Signs Management Consulting Firm as Mangomind Customer
Mangomind creates a secure, virtual office environment and improves document distribution, process workflow, and collaboration for mobile employees
Westborough, MA - October 11, 2001: Mangosoft Inc. (OTC: BB: MGOF), a Westborough, MA developer of
Internet enabling software solutions, announced today it has signed The Strategics Group, a West Coast-based
management consulting firm, as a customer for its Mangomind Business Internet File ServiceSM.
Due to the mobility requirements of their employees, the need for secure communication and efficient
project management, consultant organizations have embraced the Mangomind Business Internet File Service.
Mangomind is the secure way to allow their mobile consultants to efficiently communicate and collaborate
on internal and external client project documents.
The Strategics Group uses Mangomind to share folders and document files, which serve as the firm's
knowledge base of information, with the firm's consultants and clients.
"We find Mangomind to be a simple and effective technology that saves us both time and money," said Prem
Sundaram, Consulting Partner of The Strategics Group. "As part of our virtual office collaborative environment,
we use Mangomind to effectively give us a shared managed workspace without the physical IT infrastructure
that is normally needed. Mangomind provides the focal point for our collaborative work and allows us to be
more productive during the day."
The Strategics Group finds Mangomind to be a more efficient tool for collaboration as opposed to simply
attaching documents to an email and distributing to multiple recipients.
Sundaram added: "Before, we were just sending emails to each other with documents attached and managing
our files individually. Saving email attachments from colleagues, and locating them in different places
on our own machines, doesn't make for efficient work flow or coordination."
The Strategics Group believes that the administrative time savings of storing files in a shared,
central location; the ability for multiple people to edit a single version of a file; and reduction in
email clutter has improved their internal productivity and workflow processes.
"The improvement probably amounts to about half an hour per day per person - which is at least 5%
of our time, not to mention future savings from improved group file management and the time we will
save in spending less time looking for the right information - which for a consulting firm like ours
is very valuable," Sundaram concluded.
The Mangomind Internet file service provides remote file access; secure real-time file sharing
between multiple users; secure online file storage; secure messaging and offline access to documents.
Mangomind provides the security required for transmission and storage of confidential information using
state-of-the-art 128-bit encryption on files during transmission as well as while stored on the Mangomind
server. Mangomind also provides user authentication plus Windows NT-type permissions and access restrictions
on files and folders.
