Our Differentiators
Qontext is the only business solution to empower all of your applications (off-the-shelf or custom) at once with state-of-the-art social collaboration features providing consistent capabilities for all users.
Contextual Collaboration
Contextual Collaboration, as coined by Gartner’s Matt Cain, brings collaboration features into the business applications we use every day for improved efficiencies and information retrieval and discovery.
Some business application vendors are adding social features, but these do not work with other applications, which creates “social silos.” In reality, business collaboration happens across departments, across geographies, and… across applications.
Business social software providers claim application integration, but only after months of investing in writing custom code to their API.
Qontext is specifically architected to socially enable any existing application out-of-the-box.

Bridging The Gap: Old & New
User adoption is critical to the success of any business social solution. Many business users are fine with email. New generations rarely use email; they want social and mobile capabilities. Qontext leverages the best of both worlds to provide a familiar, instantly productive user interface and tools which helps all users cross the technology adoption chasm together.

Integrated Product Suite
Companies are quickly learning that multiple disparate solutions is limiting – e.g., one product for customer communities, one for partner collaboration, one for internal microblogging, another for internal collaboration and yet another for the intranet is complex and costly. And even buying separate products from the same vendor does not ensure interoperability.
Qontext’s Social Collaboration Platform is intentionally designed to configure the common social services for numerous uses. This common platform ensures interoperability.
Include Everyone
At work, we collaborate selectively with everyone – team members, co-workers, clients, partners, and suppliers. The use cases are varied and conversations occur with individuals, standard or ad hoc groups or guests from outside the company. Qontext empowers you to do all of this with powerful role-based security and information privacy options.
Application Integration
Integrating Qontext into core business applications is part of a planned architecture and not an after-thought. This not only makes application integration easy and flexible, but it means that applications can be social-enabled without touching any application business logic or data layer code. This also means that even legacy or custom applications can be easily social-enabled. Design elements such as widgets, feed syndication, visibility controls, and permalink for all conversations enable easy integration and uniform user experience. The power of Qontext lies in its ability to be incorporated into other enterprise applications without the usual complexities of programmatic integration.
Visibility Controls
Qontext provides well-designed visibility controls for corporate conversations, without making them overly cumbersome (read/write/share permission for every item) for users. Qontext rides on the security and permission mechanisms already deployed in the organization and strikes the right balance between information access and open participation.
