Jahia Releases Wise For Sharing, Socializing and Collaborating on Enterprise Documents

Jahia has just released Jahia Wise enabling document sharing and collaboration no matter what environment you’re working in.

Jahia Wise

That is to say that Wise works either as a standalone, or with Jahia’s Web CMS system, xCM, with the option to use it as an on-premises deployment, or in the cloud. In fact, Wise has been built to be as flexible as possible and designed to meet enterprise needs whatever those needs are.

CMSWire sat down with Jahia to see exactly what it offered and was impressed by its clean user interfaces, and agility. That, however, is personal opinion, and if you want to see more on that you can go back to the preview last month.

The official release is today (Thursday) and with it Jahia is able to shed some light on what’s under the hood of this comprehensive application.

Jahia Wise Functionality

The first thing that Jahia is offering is an application which, it says, costs only a fraction of the cost of other, similar applications from proprietary vendors with the advantage — leaving aside the reduced cost element — of not requiring large integration projects to fit into the enterprise environment.

It comes with all the usual sharing and collaborative functions of the systems of competing vendors, but it does so straight out-of-the-box. Other features in Wise include:

• Document sharing: This comes with versioning and history as well as lock in/lock out, permissions, mass imports, drag and drop import and gallery display.
• Social Collaboration: Enables users to comment on projects, task assignation, auto tagging, collections, validation workflow, wikis, blogs, notifications and all the other social enterprise features users require for work now.
• Web content: Enables users to centralize any type of data and avoid the scourge of the development of uncontrolled content siloes. It also enables content clipping for pulling data into the system.

On top of this, Wise also comes with a new email feature that enables users to feed information into project information spaces through the use of email. This also enables the integration and synchronization of email discussions into the collaborative processes being carried out in Jahia.

While the features and interfaces will be what attract the business user, it is the flexibility that is the really strong point in terms of the build, making much of the modularity of the Jahia Content Platform.

Agile Jahia Wise

In fact, when we talked with Elie Auvray, CEO of Jahia, about Wise at the end of the summer this was one of the points that he was at pains to underline.

When it comes to enterprise collaboration and document exchange, companies expect more and more integration with the information they share online on their intranet or website. The result is that many solutions on the market are cumbersome, complex and costly — especially in terms of integration.

Jahia Wise Preview: Versatile, Streamlined Document and Social Collaboration

At the end of this month Jahia will introduce a new open source solution called Jahia Wise that combines document management and social collaboration. Easy to use, it has all the functionality required to enable workers to integrate all their information sources and populate their websites or intranets with enterprise content.

Jahia already offers a number of solutions for working with data (including documents), but this solution is designed to make it easy for business users to share documents, exchange them, work on them collectively, and ultimately publish them in a controlled and ordered fashion.

Jahia Wise has been doing the rounds of some of the tech shows, particularly in France. Recently, Elie Auvray CEO of Jahia and Anne de Forsan, director of Communications, sat down with CMSWire and gave us a look at the new product.

Jahia Unity, Jahia Wise

Jahia is keeping some of the functionality under its hat until the product launch, because, Auvray says, some things are unique and well, why give competitors a chance to pre-empt you?

But that’s all by-the-by. When Jahia Wise is released it will have been in the works for about a year, according to Auvray. The driving principal behind it, he says, is the same principal that drives all Jahia’s other products — notably, unity.

Expanding on the concept of unity, he pointed out that Jahia has, as its driving principal, the delivery of agile open source technologies. This delivery pushes enterprise application convergence as far as it can possibly go by pulling together web, search, document, social and portal technologies.

And Jahia has already managed to achieve this, he says, with some of their other products — like their content management system eXtended Content Management (xCM), their visual experience builder Jahia Studio, their content core platform and a number of other JahiApps (Jahia applications).

When it comes to enterprise collaboration and document exchange, companies expect more and more integration with the information they share online on their intranet or website. Many solutions on the market are cumbersome, complex and costly — especially in terms of integration.

Jahia Wise Evolution

Jahia Wise offers an alternative to this complexity, Auvray says. It is the first time that Jahia has produced a product focused entirely on the document, file sharing and social collaboration market. It is a completely new product, based on the same underlying platform as xCM is, but has evolved to ensure that the distribution of content across the enterprise is easy and intuitive. To do that it comes with numerous modules and packages.

While Jahia Wise can work as a complementary product to the core platform, it does have a separate installer, which means that it can also be set up and run independently of the core platform for enterprises that are looking for a distribution platform on its own.

It evolved in this way, Auvray says, because when they went looking at distribution management systems they saw a wide range of products that can manage a wide range of content. However, they also found that once an enterprise started building an intranet based on existing company information, located in different silos, the nightmare of integration began.
