MindTouch, a provider of solutions that help its customers in authoring and discovering strategic content to achieve measurable results with customers, partners and colleagues, has launched a certified MindTouch Enterprise Wiki for SUSE Linux Enterprise environments. The company has been a part of the SUSE Appliance Program, and has worked in close collaboration with Novell (News - Alert) for certifying and pre-configuring the enterprise wiki and collaboration platform for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Partners and resellers of Novell will be able to enjoy the benefits of the new resource through the MindTouch Partner Program. The company also offers MindTouch Core, an open source project that is leveraged by more than 18 million people.

“The MindTouch Enterprise Wiki is a very good example of how ISVs can easily adapt a popular community product into an enterprise-class solution that is both reliable and easy to use,” commented Carlos Montero-Luque, vice president of Business and Product Management at Novell. “By leveraging the SUSE Appliance Program to tailor SUSE Linux Enterprise, MindTouch is delivering customers and resellers a fully supported and robust solution at an affordable price point.”

A huge number of users benefit from the MindTouch Enterprise Wiki worldwide, a convenient and durable resource that helps system integrators in building additional value. The solution is shipped in a fully pre-configured manner as a virtual appliance, and can be used right out of the box. It can also be added to previously existing or made-to-order server configurations.  

“MindTouch has had a snowball effect with many of our new customers. They start using MindTouch, love it, and quickly they are interested in connecting it to a variety of other systems and applications,” said Brett Humphrey CEO Fairway Technologies. “It’s a great product and platform to work with because you can quickly close a small, high margin deal and it consistently expands to very large enterprise services deals.”

The MindTouch Enterprise Wiki for SUSE Linux Enterprise resellers is equipped with a number of useful features, such as a proven enterprise wiki with over 20 million users at large organizations and SMB’s around the world and a standards and IT governance compliant tool that meets the needs of any enterprise environment. The solution includes assistance with business planning, sales and demand generation. It features exceptional technical support during the pre-sales, sales, implementation and maintenance phases and has been offered with perpetual licensing and aggressive pricing, providing attractive margins to the resellers.

In October 2010, MindTouch launched ScreenSteps, a visual software documentation solution, as the first technology partner certified on MindTouch 2010 and the MindTouch Technical Communications Suite.
