MindTouch has extended its enterprise collaboration platform to the cloud, which allows business users to mashup data from existing enterprise systems into real time charts, graphs, reports and tabular data. MindTouch Cloud also allows companies to replicate the features and functionality of MindTouch 2009 Standard.

The company said that the new platform gives organisations the ability to collaborate across data from multiple enterprise systems and web applications. It allows non-programmers to overlay data from Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, support ticketing, accounts payable, and ERP applications.

The company claims that its approach to the market is focused on connecting business-critical data locked away in corporate silos, allowing non-technical business users to automate reports, build applications and deploy dashboards based on that data.

Aaron Fulkerson, founder and CEO of MindTouch, said: Previously, business users would have to wait weeks or even months to get to the information they need to make intelligent decisions. And the end result was static, difficult to share and challenging to collaborate on.

“Anyone who has to track and collaborate across the silos of a supply chain, cull data from multiple data sources monthly or report across CRM, support, financial, etc knows the tremendous value of automation with MindTouch.
