KMWorld Names Inmagic Presto a Trend-Setting Product of 2010

Presto recognized for the second consecutive year as an innovative social knowledge management solution

WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today KMWorld Magazine announced Inmagic Presto has been named a Trend-Setting Product of 2010. The award honors technology breakthroughs in knowledge management that serve the vendors’ full spectrum of constituencies, particularly their customers.

“What continues to set Presto apart from other knowledge management and Enterprise 2.0 solutions is our focus on enriching content accessibility and value through social media, and a focus on building true KnowledgeNets that address business objectives, knowledge transfer and retention, and productivity”

This is the second consecutive year that Inmagic has received this recognition, adding to the company’s growing list of awards in its 27-year history. KMWorld editors have recognized Presto’s unique position at the intersection of content producers and content consumers, allowing relevant content to naturally bubble up, and providing context to socialization within the enterprise. As a result, Presto is helping enterprise organizations gain a competitive edge in managing, retaining, and transferring knowledge.

“As the enterprise community continues to find ways to integrate social technologies, Presto is driving the next generation of knowledge management,” says Hugh McKellar, Editor-in-Chief at KMWorld. “Presto has been successful in combining the concepts and benefits of social technologies into a knowledge management platform designed specifically to help end users meet business objectives.”

Presto integrates social technologies with enterprise content, search, access, and discovery capabilities, enabling information professionals to create Social Knowledge Networks—combining top-down vetted information with bottom-up social intelligence for a 360-degree view of information assets. By merging content with social tools like ratings and commenting, Presto meets the need for better collaboration and increased knowledge retention in the workplace.

Industry-leading organizations around the globe continue to adopt Presto at a rapid rate over competing technologies in the special library and knowledge management markets. Information and knowledge management professionals from organizations including The American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), The Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA), NASA, The National Endowment for Democracy, Newsweek, RV Anderson Associates, and The San Francisco Symphony, The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts rely on Presto for its ability to adapt and integrate knowledge management and social technologies in its secure, Web-based environment.

“What continues to set Presto apart from other knowledge management and Enterprise 2.0 solutions is our focus on enriching content accessibility and value through social media, and a focus on building true KnowledgeNets that address business objectives, knowledge transfer and retention, and productivity,” says Ron Matros, CEO of Inmagic. “It’s not about trying to push social media behind the firewall for social media’s sake. It’s about using social media technology in ways that help our customers meet their business goals. We thank KMWorld’s editors for recognizing our commitment and achievements.”

More than 800 products were assessed by KMWorld’s judging panel which included editorial colleagues, analysts, system integrators, vendors themselves, line-of-business managers and users. The Trend-Setting Product awards have been held annually since 2003.
