MindTouch empowers your business users to collaborate on text and files without acquiring any programming skills.

    With Deki, ordinary people can do what it would take a programmer to do in other systems. Add images and videos to pages. Easily modify text and see previous versions and who made edits. Use the data from one page as input to another page. The key to collaboration is participation and the key to participation is ease of use. And because Deki is so easy to use, people make those quick additions which they are loathe to do with more cumbersome systems. And that means more information is captured. With Deki's intuitive user interface, everyone on the team can collaborate using relevant, up-to-date information.
