The third generation of its wiki-inspired intranet platform: ThoughtFarmer Intranet 3.0 Multilingual has been announced today by ThoughtFarmer at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston.

Being a simple, social way for employees to collaborate, share ideas and find information. Wiki-inspired, but without the chaos, ThoughtFarmer combines the collaborative and empowering benefits of social software with a secure and centralized intranet platform demanded by the modern enterprise.

The need for organizations to be able to better leverage the intellectual capital that exists at all levels of the organization have been adressed by previous versions of ThoughtFarmer. Bringing together geographically dispersed colleagues with similar job functions, ThoughtFarmer helped companies like Intrawest Placemaking break through regional and departmental barriers. Real ROI was produced by idea sharing on ThoughtFarmer.

ThoughtFarmer, with version 3.0, sets its sights on breaking through the organizational language barrier.

Darren Gibbons, ThoughtFarmer President, stated: "Our multinational customers want to collaborate regardless of language." "ThoughtFarmer 3.0's features allow them to cross those language boundaries."

ThoughtFarmer Intranet 3.0, in addition to multilingual features, adds new forums, blogging, and calendaring capabilities. ThoughtFarmer 3.0 also supports, for geographically dispersed companies, data replication across distributed data centres.

ThoughtFarmer co-creator, Chris McGrath, declared: “Obviously, the language support components are a huge step forward for us.” He added: "But I'm especially pleased with the performance enhancements we've achieved to support high-capacity, load-balanced deployments. And our team has done an incredible job at integrating secure blogging, forums and calendaring features while keeping the interface very simple."
