Content Circles Launches Server-Free Collaborative Content Management Solution

Content Circles, a provider of distributed content management and collaboration solutions, announced the availability of Content Circles 1.0, a new approach to enabling distributed and mobile teams to collaboratively create, share, and manage documents within and among companies and organizations on a worldwide basis. Today's workgroups and teams are often distributed across companies, highly mobile, and must quickly assemble around key tasks and need easy, secure access to the right documents at the right time. Web-based content management solutions eliminate IT resource issues but can still be expensive and require training to use. More importantly, they require companies to put all of their confidential documents on the web exposing the companies to significant security as well as business continuity risks. Content Circles understood that unless the solution could be set up and used by virtually any computer user, there would not be broad acceptance and adoption. Some of the elements of the solution include: Instant replication of shared content across users computers; Unlimited file size, storage and usage; Online and offline access to all content; 100% confidential, secure, and spam/ad free; Role-based access control; Version management, including comments per each version; Content synchronization with other repositories including Microsoft SharePoint, Google Docs, FTP Servers and Network Drives; Cross-platform application runs on Mac and PC; One-click, server-free download and installation; and, Subscription pricing model similar to Web conferencing. The company founders realized that well established models of viral software distribution were a perfect fit for Content Circles. Revenue is derived from workgroup leaders and content creators. The Content Circles model takes advantage of the best and most proven elements of these models. Anyone can open and view documents created by a "Circle" owner in a Circle they have been invited to participate in. Participants in a circle can even add content to the circle. A recurring subscription fee is only assessed when an individual needs to create and invite participants to a circle they need to control. http://www.contentcircles.com
