Introducing Interspire Knowledge Manager 5.1

Based on, and built around feedback from some of our larger customers, we launched Interspire Knowledge Manager 5.0 back in October. It offers advanced enterprise-grade tools to help reduce customer support emails, reduce costs associated with staff training, enable organization-wide content sharing and more. This is robust, fully-featured knowledge management software that’s powerful and easy to use.

Now I’m pleased to announce the release of Interspire Knowledge Manager 5.1 with some key updates. Here are some of the new features:

• Enjoy Oracle database support (9i and above) for our new "Oracle" edition
  
• Login security settings to limit invalid login attempts and implement a lock timeout period
• Discover a streamlined homepage focused on getting started quickly
• Set permissions for viewing knowledge base statistics

This valuable update is free if you already have Interspire Knowledge Manager 5.0 and a valid maintenance period. Simply login to the client area to download your free update. Here’s our upgrade guide to help. If you have an older version or your maintenance period has expired, you can visit the upgrade pricing page to learn more about upgrading.

New customers looking to get started can try the online demo or see pricing.

Why We Built the New Oracle Edition

It doesn’t take more than a handful of workers before every organization discovers the challenge of sharing information between employees, departments and offices. Hence the proliferation of Intranet sites and knowledge management systems, to streamline project management, share companywide updates, and so on.

Most mid-level systems we found were too expensive, too expansive without integrating well, or they were just plain difficult to use, requiring a training and management team. Based on this research we decided to integrate Interspire Knowledge Manager 5.1 with the Oracle database, the defacto RDBMS for mid-level and enterprise organizations.

The new Oracle edition builds on the enterprise-grade features already found in Interspire Knowledge Manager 5.0 while offering robust solutions for companies of all sizes. You’ll discover Oracle/MS SQL/MySQL support, active directory integration, workflow, history, versioning, wiki-style quick add and editing options and a lot more.
