Product Description

LongJump provides an online catalog of applications and community-driven marketplace that allow business users with absolutely zero coding skills to choose from a variety of hosted applications, customize these applications with simple drag-and-drop capabilities and even create their own applications. LongJump applications provide customers with enterprise-level business functionality to securely Web-enable business processes and share information with colleagues, workgroups and partners—all without expensive tools or technologies.

Market Opportunity

Gartner predicts that the team collaboration software market will grow at a rate of 15.9% through 2011, and according to Ovum’s Collaboration Software Market Forecast in October 2006, the collaborative software market is expected to reach $4.4 billion in 2010.

Demo Says

LongJump proves that sophisticated software doesn’t have to be hard to use and manage. This zero-IT, low-cost collaboration and document management environment delivers enterprise-style capabilities without the expense, complexity and overhead of heavy-weight content-management systems. LongJump bridges internal file management with external file sharing to support virtual workgroups and Web publishing. While the company targets LongJump to small businesses, its ease of deployment and use suggest that it could become a workhorse application at the departmental level of many large organizations.
