How to Buy WordFrame Subscriptions

The most straightforward way of buying WordFrame Community is for us to provide it Software as a Service for a monthly subscription fee that takes in to account the licence fee for the size of your community each month, as well as a hosting fee for the hardware capacity required to support it.

Our subscription pricing model caters for two types of user as they are added or invited in to a WordFrame system:

- Contributor user - someone who has a WordFrame profile and creates a post, or edits a wiki document
- Consumer user - someone who has a WordFrame profile, may have added comments, but no posts or wiki document editing.

For public sites and groups we also need to cater for the:

- Guest user - someone who does not sign in to WordFrame but uses the community site and may have the ability to add comments.

Note that Consumer users are billed from the month their profile is created, and Contributor users are billed from the month they create a blog or a wiki document.

We are currently developing a standard price list, which provides a banded, matrix of prices for different types of user. The matrix will cater for different sizes of community, and will provide a sliding scale of subscription prices as the community size increases. It will also cater for the hosting capacity and bandwidth required for the community.

However, one of the challenges we have is in providing a simple, published price list which caters for the very different capacities and variations of use for different types of community that might adopt WordFrame. We want to provide attractive pricing for small and medium enterprises and businesses with a few users in their community, as well as sensible pricing for larger communities with hundreds of thousands of users.

Consequently, please contact us with your details, and we will provide a specific quotation or proposal for your circumstances. Remember that you can also contact us for a free trial system to test WordFrame's capability without risk.

Please note that we aim to be flexible, so we are also happy to quote a subscription fee for installing WordFrame:

- on site on your own servers
- as an appliance that we connect to your network.

How WordFrame Community Works ...

WordFrame Community take collaboration to a new level, making it easy for users to work together on documents, tasks, contacts, events, and share information. In addition, community managers can coordinate community content and user activity easily. The WordFrame Community environment is designed for easy and flexible deployment and administration - you can create a new community in seconds and arrange your site in any hierarchy or group structure that makes sense to you.

Communities
WordFrame Community provides places to capture and share ideas, information, communication, and documents. The communities facilitate team participation in discussions, shared document collaboration, and surveys. Site content is accessible from any supported Web browser within Windows, Apple Mac or Linux operating systems. Each community can be public or private, and flexible access rights can be granted to administrators, moderators, members, regular users or guests.

Empowering Users and Social Networking
WordFrame community members can find, connect and communicate with key contacts and experts, both by e-mail and with personal messaging. Site content can be easily searched, and users can also receive alerts to tell them when existing documents and information have been changed, or when new information or documents have been added.

Corporate Blogging Platform
The WordFrame Community functionality can easily be used for group or corporate blogging. Every user in a WordFrame community can create posts with categories, tags and commenting, with all the ability to include YouTube videos, or photos from Flickr, or widget style functions that you would expect in any top quality blog platform. However, ours has been designed to work as a multi-user, scalable environment from the start. Content is organized in to a user's own blog, and can additionally be published in any of the available public or private communities that user has access to.

Web publishing or Aggregation Site
WordFrame Community can be used as a web publishing tool to link, organize and present different categories of content to different groups and audiences. Content can be created by the registered users, or automatically posted from any external blog's RSS feed - our autopost facility. Many of our users use the platform to aggregate content from a number of different bloggers and publishers, and we have standard facilities to integrate advertising and ad server solutions in to your site.

Community Management
WordFrame community managers can choose from a library of theme styles and customize the content and layout of communities to ensure that members can access and work with important and relevant information. Members' participation can be monitored and moderated when necessary. You can even watch for or ban content word by word to avoid unfortunate language. Security and task responsibilities are both flexible and easily accessible. Well-designed lists and entire community can be saved as templates and reused.

Administration and Deployment
WordFrame Community can scale to thousands of communities on a single platform installation. You can chose to have your communities hosted by us (on demand or Software as a Service) , implemented on your own servers, or as an appliance that we install in your network. In any of these cases, we take responsibility for managing the platform and keeping the software versions up to date.

How would you benefit from the usage of WordFrame?

Effective information sharing and collaboration is rapidly becoming a strategic platform advantage, but that advantage can be compromised if collaboration technologies are deployed in a piecemeal fashion. Some companies end up deploying one tool for corporate blogging, a different tool for wikis, a third for news feed aggregation, and then other tools for file sharing and document management. At WordFrame's our vision is to deliver an integrated, comprehensive set of technologies that are designed to work together.

This unified platform provides the following advantages:

- Rich out-of-the-box functionality, assuring community managers of quick, cost-effective deployment, not a toolkit with an associated development project.

- Easy deployment, enabling community managers to implement collaboration capabilities within their organization's time frame and budget.

- Easy and cost-effective extensibility, enabling community managers to build community-specific solutions and develop managed, hosted services connecting members, customers, partners, and suppliers.

- Familiar tools, enabling users to quickly and easily share information and collaborate with peers.

- Community-wide standards, providing persistent security, management, reporting, and integration on a scalable platform.

- create and comment on blog posts to share and discuss ideas and information
- use wiki pages to collaborate on document creation
- upload and share conventional documents, presentations and spreadsheets
- Share news, events, links to useful resources or ask questions in a poll

- create a secure environment that could be used in different ways by different people internally and externally, so you can really connect your team with your customers, partners and advisors.

More agile, lightweight web 2.0 tools like WordFrame can take the place of traditional, structured intranets, shared drives, knowledge management and e-mail based systems. They can help break down the boundaries, compress hierarchies, reduce the friction of information flow, and in so doing unlock value with increased innovation and productivity

WordFrame Community provides an out-of-the-box solution that allows teams to create Web communities for information sharing and document collaboration, benefits that help increase individual and team productivity. WordFrame Community is based on Microsoft asp.net 2.0 Framework. It includes IT resources such as community workspaces, blogs, user profiles, e-mail, document management, wiki, audio and video publishing, all secure and easily managed via a feature-rich administration shell. WordFrame Community enables users to locate distributed information quickly and efficiently, as well as connect to and work with others more productively.
