Concursive Releases Comprehensive Open Source Community and Collaboration Solution

NORFOLK, VA, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
Concursive Corporation (www.concursive.com), a leading developer of open
source business software, today announced the launch of ConcourseConnect,
a solution that enables the rapid creation of dynamic online communities
-- with applications ranging from social networking sites to business
directories and collaborative intranets.

The strength and uniqueness of ConcourseConnect lies in its melding of
functionality from four areas currently receiving a lot of attention --
online community, collaboration, content management and business tools
like customer relationship management (CRM). It provides the ability to
quickly create an online community with embedded web 2.0 tools like
blogs, wikis and forums and integrated CRM capabilities for managing and
leveraging the data and activity of that community. The latter is
especially compelling to businesses striving to harness the power of
social networking to create what Concursive calls "commercial networks."

For businesses of all sizes, ConcourseConnect represents a comprehensive
toolkit providing all of the necessary pieces to create, maintain and
leverage online communities. It addresses the desires of businesses to be
more visible, help their employees to work together more effectively, and
create a type of new dialogue with their customers.

"The evolution of the website, an all-in-one connection utility, social
networking meets business; ConcourseConnect means different things to
different people," said Jeff Hershey, VP of Marketing for Concursive.
"Perhaps the easiest way to think of ConcourseConnect is that it blends
together the best pieces of online community, collaboration, content
management and CRM software into one scalable, centrally managed
solution."

Concursive has created six live sample sites
(www.concursive.com/solutions.shtml) to illustrate a wide range of
community-based applications for ConcourseConnect. From building a social
networking website to providing a robust corporate intranet for internal
collaboration, ConcourseConnect is a truly flexible solution that can be
tailored to virtually any company or organization's needs. This
flexibility is further enhanced by the use of the Java portlet
architecture, which provides for easy integration of additional services
and functionality.

The source code version of ConcourseConnect is provided under the GNU
Affero General Public License (GPL) and is available for download here:

scalability and integration capabilities is available starting at
$5,000/yr for on-premise deployments. Concursive also offers a hosted
option, with pricing available on request.
