E-mail, voice mail and cell phones are powerful ways of connecting, but they don't always have all the connections you need. To fill the void, Parlano Inc. has recently released MindAlign, a set of server-based collaboration tools that let teams keep in touch, share important documents and track project progress from any networked computer. Users subscribe to relevant channels containing discussion areas, shared files, URLs and other pertinent information, or they can create their own channels. Administrators can also integrate MindAlign into existing applications (such as databases or lightweight directory access protocol directories) to provide one-stop access to important information. The product can run on internal corporate servers or as part of an ASP model hosted by Parlano. Pricing starts at US$5,000 per internal server and $50 per Java client. www.parlano.com
