OfficeMedium: Intranet for the Small Business User

Review for OfficeMedium by ReadWriteWeb on 2010-02-15

Overall, OfficeMedium is a clean, easy to use intranet software. In the new world of the enterprise, every employee will create their own media. OfficeMedium provides an environment to fit with this emerging trend but with enough hooks to satisfy the needs of a business where keeping people in the loop is often mission critical.

Pros: But on a basic level - OfficeMedium works. Perhaps what we suggest is beyond what the small business user is looking for in an intranet. But overall, they do a good job of covering the basics.

Cons: The profiles we looked at have just a few fields for web sites but included a blog, personal and miscellaneous sites that the user may include. We'd add several more fields to this section to reflect the real media presence of the user.

Best Uses: OfficeMedium is a service that is a fit for the small business user with just enough social features to give it a decent chance of winning over companies looking to establish a community platform for their users.

Could OfficeMedium be the SME portal of the future?

Review for OfficeMedium by AccMan on 2010-02-15

One of my regular readers had been asking about using a wiki as a way of letting clients know the progress on their work. A wiki could fulfill that purpose but OfficeMedium looks like it could do a lot more. There is plenty to like about this service, not least the sandbox style demo area where you can log in and ferret about as much as you wish. OfficeMedium is a good starting point and as a generic style of intranet it shows considerable promise.

Pros: Contact management (a la CRM) is a big deal for professionals and OfficeMedium has this as standard. This distinguishes it from say Sharepoint which does not have that same capability out the box.

Cons: Being based on open source means that it should be capable of massive extension and customization. If OfficeMedium wants to make an impact into professional services organizations then that is the direction it has to go.

Best Uses: This is a market segment that will only get more interesting in the coming year as more development organizations start thinking about how they can bring Web 2.0 style components together into coherent services that have obvious business value.
