SAN FRANCISCO and SAN DIEGO, April 24, 2008 - MindTouch, the company behind the most sophisticated wiki available today, is showcasing its social enterprise platform -- MindTouch Deki -- at this week's Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco.

MindTouch Deki is a free open source wiki that is raising the bar for wikis by delivering a powerful wiki that goes way beyond collaboration and is an application integration and development platform with complete APIs for developers. MindTouch adds the "2.0" into the enterprise by enabling users to hook in legacy applications and social 2.0 applications for mashups, while enabling IT governance across it all. No other wiki is able to offer these powerful capabilities for the enterprise.

MindTouch is experiencing rapid growth with unparalleled downloads. Companies like FedEx, Expedia, British Petroleum, Siemens, Fujitsu, Quark, Gannett, and other Fortune 500 clients have adopted this platform for a host of reasons from the WYSIWYG editor, delivering mashups, pulling together applications and systems, deploying new collaborative capabilities to getting APIs, third-party application integration, and interoperability with legacy systems all with IT governance; and not just over the wiki, but over all enterprise systems and applications.

MindTouch Deki is built entirely on a RESTful architecture and engineered for concurrent processing to make APIs not just interoperable, but intelligently orchestrated to be in concert - in essence creating multi-step or functional mashups.  Plus, with the Desktop Connector entire directory structures can be created on the fly and files can be attached to the appropriate pages. This tool is prefect for creating and organizing wiki pages on the fly or for transferring lots of files to MindTouch Deki. Coupled with the MindTouch Outlook Connector for Microsoft Outlook™ efficiency reaches a whole new level because the Connector provides one-click publishing of emails and email file attachments to MindTouch Deki where they can be versioned, searched and shared.

A very large percentage of MindTouch Deki users are using it to connect teams, enterprise systems, and Web 2.0 applications. They are doing this with dynamic report templates, situational applications and by providing alternative interfaces to a variety of legacy systems that are inherently difficult to use. In these cases the wiki is more of a canvas to a distributed application platform or a kind of enterprise connective tissue.

Aside from that, MindTouch Deki is the first polyglot wiki - the first wiki capable of effectively distinguishing between different languages within a single system. Only MindTouch Deki can consolidate multiple languages into one deployment while allowing users to effectively discover content in their native languages. The IT professional no longer needs to split up the infrastructure to support language barriers, simply run it from one instance of MindTouch Deki.  For the user, because each page can be associated with a language, the language automatically localizes the user interface for that page. And because you can now filter content based on language, "search" just got easier.
