The availability of an updated version of the illumio software-as-a-service (SaaS) collaboration and expertise solution for enterprise customers, illumio 3.0, has been announced by a leading provider of expertise location and collaboration software, Tacit Software.

So individuals can quickly discover and connect to the people and information they need in order to work more effectively, illumio 3.0 streamlines the sharing of knowledge, information, and expertise within organizations. illumio combines expertise, collaboration, and RSS aggregation capabilities into a single, familiar newspaper user interface that simplifies deployment and accelerates user adoption in any organization, large or small.

The volume of user-generated content is growing both outside and inside the enterprise, but harnessing this content is getting trickier for individuals who are increasingly suffering from information overload. By filtering all this content to show each person only what matches their particular interests, illumio solves this dilemma. illumio, using RSS aggregation, gives employees a centralized place to track all the news and updates that are relevant to their work. With illumio 3.0, this information is now displayed in a personalized newspaper with each piece of content ranked from 0 to 3 stars based on how well it matches their interests. This makes it easy for individuals to efficiently track the information that's critical to their jobs and creates a compelling individual value proposition for employees to integrate illumio into their daily routine.

People are a company's most important asset, but all too often, their knowledge and expertise are underutilized. illumio is the only collaboration solution available that leverages both the published and unpublished information of every employee to automatically build rich profiles of who knows what. Without requiring people to build and maintain profiles, illumio, by capturing 100% of everyone's expertise and doing it in a way that preserve each user's privacy, allows individuals to quickly locate the experts on any topic. illumio, by not requiring people to create or share expertise profiles, avoids the usual roadblocks to user adoption that are common with enterprise social networking solutions.

Marketing departments are using illumio to keep their teams up-to-date on competitors and provide a forum for sharing competitive intelligence. The illumio technology, without requiring anyone to publish their knowledge to a centralized repository, enables individuals to automatically connect with knowledgeable colleagues based on just the unpublished documents and emails stored on their desktop computers.
