In our latest update,
social sharing gets a crackling integration with Zoho Wiki. Our
customers, after quickly setting up their wikis wanted to share the
information with like minded people.

Sharing the wiki pages on social
networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc was a fantastic opportunity
they were looking at. Well, that’s exactly what you can do now.

Social Tool Widget:

You
can insert the Social Tool Widget in your wiki page and share your
content with your friends on Facebook or followers on Twitter.

Zoho Wiki scores heavily by being the de facto team collaboration tool within Zoho. Various groups like usability engineers, developers, QA across different teams in Zoho have implemented Zoho Wiki for sharing the design docs, reviewing the feature sets, storing the release plans and even documenting best coding practices. Technical writers use Zoho Wiki for writing our help manuals. Marketing team tracks the marketing efforts in a Wiki. Our resellers and partners across the globe, collaborate with us via wiki.

Wikis have come a long way from being just another tool for information aggregation. They are now widely used for online content sharing and collaboration at multiple levels. One of the biggest concern for people who opt for Wikis inside their organization is Security. Companies strictly adhere to privacy policies and would like their data to be highly confidential.

SMBs who look out for quality wiki software had to settle between free wiki sites that didn’t have enterprise level security or choose expensive alternatives in the market. Zoho Wiki would be the ideal bet in such a scenario. If you want to use an easily affordable enterprise wiki for your company, look no further.

Showcasing Niskayuna School District Parent-Teacher Organizations Website

Let me present to you, a classic case of how a school district used Zoho Wiki to make Parent-Teacher Organizations (PTOs), a truly collaborative online effort between teachers and parents, primarily for student enrichment activities.

Niskayuna School District Parent-Teacher Organization wanted a centralized location where parents and teachers could come together. Creating an interactive PTO Website was a straight forward answer.

http://www.niskypto.org/ would give you a sense of how dynamic and effective the portal is. In their own words, they wanted all parents to get involved, to know what’s happening across all schools, and form a network to discuss issues, share ideas and build rapport with other parents and teachers.
