SAN FRANCISCO, September 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- Social Business Networks Enable Teams to Securely Collaborate On Both
Sides of the Firewall

London-based Huddle.net announced today the U.S. launch of its hosted
team collaboration solution, at the Office 2.0 conference. Huddle.net is the
first Enterprise 2.0 service to combine social platforms with enterprise
collaboration tools. Huddle.net is a secure, easy-to-use, network of
workspaces that enable companies and their partners to work better together
by working in teams. At Office 2.0 Huddle.net will showcase the power of
these social business networks along with a host of new features and
functions during a demo Thursday September 6th.

"The enterprise today is experiencing collaboration dislocation. Social
networks connect but have no tools and work tools don't connect," said
Alastair Mitchell, CEO of Huddle.net. "Huddle.net delivers true
collaboration; a combination of tools and platforms that connect groups
together naturally."

Huddle.net instantly creates a network of secure collaborative
workspaces, bringing together the right people for the right project on
either side of the firewall. Permissions control who sees and has access to
what content. Employees can become part of a single Huddle or multiple
Huddles without additional passwords. Key features of Huddle.net include:

- Combination intranet, extranet, FTP & team collaboration tools
    - Connect internal & external teams into secure environment
    - Enterprise 2.0 document and knowledge management
    - Project calendar and task tracking
    - Whiteboards, team and collaboration features
    - Automated workflows, reminders and alerts
    - Low Cost. No Software. No Training.

    Along with this launch Huddle.net announced three new features:

    - Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Hotmail address books integration
      -- easily invite contacts into Huddles straight from the tool bar.
    - Localization -- customize Huddles for your international team using
      language localization capabilities.
    - Open Huddles -- allow all teammates to quickly and naturally invite
      others to work online.

"IT staff are struggling to provide the tools employees love with the
security the enterprise needs," Mitchell said. "With Huddle they can rest
easy knowing that the right people are working together in a secure fashion
that is easy to manage and track."

Pricing and Availability
    Small Business Basic Packages of Huddle start at US$19.99 per month.
