IT Administration
The distribution of IT administration is organized to help the user achieve greater effectiveness by incrementally building on the lessons of the previous day in a personal wiki. Search capabilities and a customizable menu system make the wiki ideal to ease retrieval of data. You can make decisions quicker and become proactive.
Entrepreneur/Scientist
The Entrepreneur/Scientist mashup is collated to help with brainstorming, idea formation, hypothesis testing and factual reporting. It has business infrastructure tools to support finance, sales and support for a fledgling startup so you can concentrate on the business at hand. It is intended to be a personal or team notebook that can be built on as your ideas and business pursuits expand.
