Unlike large collaboration systems such as Microsoft SharePoint, salesforce.com, or Lotus Notes, and unlike light collaboration systems like wikis and blogs, Liaise helps you manage getting work done with others without requiring anyone to change the way they work today.
Product Description
Liaise automates the capture and management of KeyPoints (tasks, issues, dates and priorities) buried inside emails, IMs and other communications. As you type, Liaise intelligently and automatically captures KeyPoints in your messages, and provides summaries, calendar integration and reports. Liaises online service enables advanced management of interactions across teams. We call this Business Interaction Management. Liaise makes interactions with your suppliers, customers, prospects, and staff more effective without changing the way you work.
Market Opportunity
Liaises solution has the capability of adding Business Interaction Management to all forms of communications: email, IM, SMS, blogs and more. As a new approach to the collaboration space, Liaise is addressing and growing the $34 billion collaboration market with tools for people whose needs are currently not addressed.
DEMO Says
Like many business people, my email inbox is my to-do list, each messaging a task requested or implied. Flags and folders are a not much of an organizing principle, and frankly the fastest way to get a chore out of my inbox is to forward it to someone else. It's not much of a system, but it's all I've got. Until now. Liaise works like I do, inside email, but it better organizes the tasks I need to tackle and much more efficiently tracks the ones I've assigned to someone else. Most importantly, Liaise doesn't ask me to change my work habits in order to get the benefit of better organization. It doesn't demand that I recruit my team to work with the tool. It doesn't lose a thread if I jump between email and chat. What it does do is bring control and visibility to the tasks that drive my days.

Competitors
Emo Labs has no direct competitors. Secondary competitors include NXT and conventional speaker systems.
Product Description
Emo Labs has changed the way you experience multimedia content with invisible, zero-footprint speaker systems. Imagine a TV with great stereo sound coming directly from the display panel, unifying audio and video for a more natural, realistic and compelling presentation. Generating sound in a completely different way, our Edge Motion audio technology overcomes the physical limitations of conventional speakers to enhance the overall value of space-constrained products like TVs, laptops, monitors and more.
Market Opportunity
DisplaySearch forecasts 2009 TV market revenue of $76 billion and unit sales of 127 million, growing to 188 million units in 2012. DisplaySearch also forecasts desktop display shipments of 162 million in 2009 and 197 million in 2012. IDC forecasts portable PC unit sales of 251 million in 2012.
DEMO Says
As flat panel televisions get thinner, so does the audio they deliver. The physical dimensions of the display simply don't provide the space to integrate a great sound system. Emo Labs rethinks the integrated speaker in a dramatically and new approach that delivers rich, high-fidelity sound to match high-definition video. It's brilliant engineering and, after you hear it, you'll not want anything less in your high-def TV.
