Online collaborative workspace

Mayetic offers secure online collaborative workspace for $6.95/month per gigabyte

While Internet heavyweights are engaged in an all-out war to offer gigabyte storage space with their e-mail services, the French company Mayetic is joining the fray with a twist by offering a 1 GB storage space option for its mayeticVillage collaborative virtual workspaces worldwide for only $6.95/month.

Other companies on the market offer 1 GB to their webmail clients.

Although this type of service meets webmail users' needs for extra storage, it is also likely to increase the number of messages and viruses received.

Given the functional limitations of webmail interfaces (for example, only root-level folders can be created), management of user mailboxes will become more challenging as the amount of data increases.

Today, Mayetic introduces the same storage option as its competitors along with a new way of working using mayeticVillage collaborative workspaces.

Storage space for every mayeticVillage site created on one of the site's three versions - French, English, and Spanish - is expandable to 1 GB.

In addition, file transfers of up to 100MB/file are authorized rather than the limited MB available from most e-mail services, which make it impossible to send large files.

Whereas increasing storage space will add to the shortcomings of conventional e-mail solutions such as webmail (spam, viruses, lack of security, limited organization, etc), it will truly benefit mayeticVillage collaborative workspaces.

Over the past three years, Mayetic has offered collaborative solutions for the post e-mail era on mayeticVillage.

These workspaces enable users to exchange information in a structured way for any type of project: preparing a wedding, managing an association or a sports club, planning trips, and organizing IT projects, humanitarian missions, or school reunions.

One or several dedicated workspaces can hold all the necessary information, in an organized, classified way.

A single copy of each document is made available to all authorized users.

Collaborative workspaces are spam-free, virus-free, and highly secure areas.

After important documents are stored in a single location (the collaborative workspace), users no longer need to use their inboxes as storage areas.

When a document is modified or added to the workspace, notifications can be sent by e-mail, containing a link to the document.

E-mail is therefore used for notification purposes as well as to provide easy access to the information stored inside the workspace.

This information is available 24x7, from any web-enabled, Internet-connected computer located anywhere in the world.

1 GB can hold 2,000 pictures, 5,000 Microsoft Word documents, 200 or 300 MP3 files or 500,000 messages.

However, mayeticVillage workspaces offer more than this because they can also be used as websites.

No computer skills are required, thanks to a unique on-the-fly conversion of MS Word files into web pages (HTML).

In a matter of minutes, users can build their own extranet and share information securely by inviting their colleagues, partners, customers or suppliers into restricted "business areas," or friends and family into "personal areas." 150,000 users in 100 countries have chosen mayeticVillage.

With a near 50% quarterly user growth (currently, one new user every twelve minutes), this innovative communication and exchange solution is a proven valuable tool.

Mayetic is the third player worldwide to offer a low-cost 1GB storage space solution for all, and the only company to offer a smarter way of using this "collaborative" space.
