MindJet Rolls Out MindManager for SharePoint

Mindjet is bringing its core information visualization technology to SharePoint with the announcement today of MindManager for SharePoint. The tool is designed to give SharePoint users a look into tasks and issues while retaining a big-picture view of the overarching project.

“SharePoint is like rabbits. The sites expand out of control,” said Michael Deutch, director of product development. This creates a number of silos, and leaves users searching for information rather than using information.”

Deutch said that large enterprises, with more than 1,000 workers, waste from $2.5 million to $3.5 million searching for non-existent data, failing to find data that does exist, or recreating existing data that couldn’t be found.

MindManager for Sharepoint, which costs $499 in the United States, enables users to update the status of tasks, change work priorities, link to a document or record and update that, with the changes automatically reflected in the map, Deutch explained.
