SEATTLE, WA February 15, 2010 – MangoApps^[1], has developed a smart set of communication and social intranet business software tools designed to boost daily productivity.  MangoApps is the missing ingredient to make social intranet business software truly effective for business communication. MangoApps is the first product of its kind to seamlessly combine enterprise social networking with enterprise-grade Instant Messaging to enable open and immediate communication.

In addition to the features businesses have come to expect in the new breed of enterprise social intranet business software (microblogging, follow/follower news feeds, user profiles, project team collaboration and file sharing) MangoApps also integrates one-on-one instant messaging, group chat and presence throughout.

“Efficient employee communication through a software platform is vital to every business,” said Anup Kejriwal^[2], CEO and founder of MangoApps. “Over the last 15 years, employees around the world have relied on email, IM, intranets, and blogs to talk to each other, share news and information and collaborate on projects. MangoApps is the natural evolution of these communication and collaboration solutions. The current tools used to accomplish daily tasks don’t provide the open and immediate communication needed to conduct an efficient business.”

MangoApps is designed to accommodate all types of business workplace communication, from microblog-style status updates to immediate, secure instant messaging. In typical microblog feeds, comments and replies can take minutes, hours or even days to process, making the pace of communication too slow for business use. With MangoApps, a user can see that the colleague who posted a status update is online, launch an IM session right from the update and quickly share information or close an issue immediately.

All MangoApps networks are private and secure. Companies can control membership to the network, customize it and manage the content posted by their users. All content (status, IM, files, profiles, projects) within MangoApps is securely archived and searchable. MangoApps can be accessed in three ways: (1) by web browser from any PC, (2) by a desktop client that provides convenient, anytime access, or (3) by a mobile client from an iPhone or an Android device.
