Grouptivity: San Francisco based Grouptivity last week officially announced the launch of its Email+ web service platform and also the first partnership. The kinda small partnership to start with, Grouptivity is powering The Telegraph of Nashua’s news sharing feature(lookout for the Email+ link on the top of any news story). Grouptivity also announced the appointment of Susan DeFife, Co-Founder and former CEO of Backfence, to its Board of Advisors. Susan had left Backfence earlier in this year. Backfence had abruptly shutdown last month. All aside, Grouptivity was recently awarded a patent for its system and method for integrating e-mail into functionality of software application. Now that would be fun if Grouptivity goes about wielding the patent stick in the nascent space.
Office20+Free+iPhone: Looking to get a new iPhone for free? Than book your registration for the Office2.0 conference being held in San Francisco. The conference is being organized by IT|Redux at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco, CA, from September 5-7, 2007. The conference will have 500 to 750 attendees coming from over 20 countries and 100 speakers speaking at four parallel tracks: the Enterprise 2.0 Track; the Mobility and Productivity Track; and two Demo Tracks. Attendees can expect to work hands-on on an Etelos+iPhone mashup to wirelessly exchange contact information.
Tractis: The Spain based startup Tractis, which is supposed to launch next month, is adding some real value in the contract management space that other have missed upon. Tractis users get to create contract templates and contract content and share it with their team members. Tractis also offers a Library feature that helps users share their templates and reuse those of other users. Besides the software side of things, the startup has setup a ?Negonation Security Excellence Center? that includes prominent professionals whose objective is to advise Negonation in legal and technological matters. Not sure where they are going with that.
