Koomb is an enterprise level social utility that connects people with coworkers, projects, and even management of enterprise level projects spanning continents. People use Koomb just as they would Google Earth, Facebook, and SharePoint. The beauty of Koomb is it’s everything in one platform, instead of an array of internet applications Koomb provides all of the features of Facebook, SharePoint, and Google Earth in one product. Already translated into French and Spanish.

There are many collaboration solutions on the market today, and individually they all effectively answer some of the needs of decision support in today’s marketplace. Koomb is set apart from all other competitive efforts as it is the only solution that brings many of its competitor’s benefits into one product. Combining a state-of-the-art collaboration tool set with geospatial mapping and a ‘Google Earth’ like application, Koomb is poised to simply deliver more than anyone else.

Unlike its competitors, Koomb enhances the decision making process by providing powerful tools to visualize, share and publish geographic information through interactive maps. In addition to the spatial toolkit, Koomb differentiates itself from the competition by supporting peer-to-peer virtualization of workspace content between “Product” nodes. This allows organizations to maintain strict control over their proprietary and sensitive information while sharing it with their stakeholders. Each “Product” node can push and/or pull data and information to/from other “Product” nodes. This allows users to seamlessly search across a network of “Product” nodes for information assets and add them to their workspace(s). Each “Product” node is an endpoint that can belong to one or more networks. These networks can be ad-hoc or formal and are completely configurable in terms of level of access and visibility.

Anyone can learn Koomb

All that's needed to learn Koomb is the knowledge of how to operate an internet browser, whether you’re 10 or 100 Koomb is accessible and can be taught easily and efficiently either local or remotely.

Communication

While there are few things more important than good communication, more organizations struggle with the flow of information. Inboxes are filled with spam, and important memos are lost in cyberspace – often the victims of clumsy filtering software. Koomb allows seamless and absolutely spam free office communication.And this isn’t limited to just email - blogs, portals, and whiteboard spaces are also included guaranteeing that the right message gets to the right people.

Collaboration

Beyond simple communication lies an advanced collaboration ability to allow small or large groups of people to work in flexible and customizable teams. Simply a project manager’s dream come true. Built in discussion boards, instant messaging, chat rooms and even video conferencing are all a part of concert of tools that are built into Koomb.

Document Creation & Management

One of the most powerful features built into Koomb is the way it allows teams of people to share, manage, and co-author documents. Advanced versioning abilities allow even the largest teams to synchronize their creative abilities. And by “document creation” we don’t just mean Word files and Excel spreadsheets. Koomb also has the ability to orchestrate the creation text documents, visual images, audio, video and even new software applications. If it can be created, Symphony can manage it.

Time Management

One of Koomb’s newest features is the ability to synchronize time management across the whole organization. Far beyond the simple scheduling abilities of Outlook, Koomb allows people to manage their time, schedules, and appointments together. Arranging one on one meetings or large conferences becomes easy with Koomb.

Advanced Mapping

Our differentiating feature is Koomb’s ability to integrate mapping data into itself. And we’re not talking about something minor like MapQuest or Google Earth. Koomb was designed to handle, share, and manipulate the most advanced forms of geospatial data on earth. Municipal and regional governments, public utilities, real estate developers, and even mining and forestry companies can access software that was originally designed with their specific needs in mind.

The best part is that Koomb doesn’t end here. Its flexible and modular structure allows us to compose new features and abilities for Koomb. Advanced project management tools and improvements to our video conferencing abilities are very close on the horizon.
