engagement is essential. Business leaders are frustrated with email and groupware because it

OpenTeams is an innovative initiative development solution where employees collaboratively
seed and mature new ideas for additional revenue, productivity and cost-savings.

Unlike normal wikis, which suffer from user apathy and confusion, OpenTeams is intuitive for
non-techies to learn and use. Its simple email-like interface makes it easy to create, organize,
and navigate content while transparently tracking changes. This dramatically shrinks the learning
curve and ensures adoption while ramping up productivity, payback, and employee engagement.

projects, and each user is assigned a user right for each project he/she is connected to.
