Teamware Interactive Business CardŽ (IBC)
The IBC offers individual community members or organizations their own Web pages for displaying contact information. By templates, the site owner can control the site style and the user can edit its content. To allow contacting users through the site, IBCs are integrated with mail. The user can decide how visible the information should be - public, to fellow group members or private.
User Profiling and Personalization
The Pl@za system controls the user session and resources. The user interface is customizable for language, style and access rights. Preferred communication channels can also be selected. A Pl@za site recognizes the needs of individual users and dynamically creates pages to reflect their preferences, roles, and access rights, to create a personalized site that reflects their interests and activities.
Who's online
With the help of Who's online users can check who else is currently logged in. Who's online assists in networking between people by providing an easy way to call others to online meetings or checking their IBCs.
Formpages
Keeping the Website information up to date is a major task in most organizations. Pl@za has a utility that allows users to build standard page displays and form based pages for data input and changes.
Search
Pl@za General Search provides a comprehensive search functionality enabling information to be searched from discussion groups, document folders, web pages, Help pages and IBC's. Search supports simple and detailed searches, prefix searches and more complex query syntaxes. Search also makes use of a stop word file of words that should not be added to the index. Finnish Stemmer (Solaris) is available as an optional component.
Feedback
Both registered and non-registered users can send feedback through a feedback form. The different types of feedback can be forwarded to different places, like a responsible person's mailbox, a file, or a discussion group.
User Administration
User level security consists of User Registration (requiring each user to be identified before being allowed access to services), Access Control (verifying which services are allowed to which user) and Accountability (controlling the critical operations performed by the user).
Group Administration Pl@za is built around the structure of an organization with different types of membership and committee structures, special interest groups and team working. It is possible to define tailor-made group types that match the groups, roles and positions each customer has. To help get started Pl@za comes with pre-defined group types (Special Interest groups and Committees). Each group has a manager who can introduce users to the group and change the "home page" of the group.
System Administration
Pl@za provides easy-to-use HTML based administration tools. Usage statistics can be displayed or printed for managers to monitor the popularity of the system. In addition, standard Web analysis tools can provide a list of site visits and data downloads etc.
