Firstserver, Inc. (Head office: Osaka, CEO: Ryosuke Okada, http://www.fsv.jp/, hereinafter "Firstserver" ) has added “M3 Blog Server” to its Windows DOTNET rental server lineup, which uses the “M3 Blog” technology developed and sold by ECOSS Inc. (Head office: Tokyo, CEO: Chihiro Tsuyuki, http://www.ecoss.co.jp/, hereinafter "ECOSS") Services begin on June 12, 2007.
"M3 Blog" is a blog system developed and sold by ECOSS, which allows users to post entries directly from Microsoft Office applications such as Word and Excel. Also, by using the access control settings, the system can also be used as an intrablog, allowing access to the blog from specific users only.
Because of this special feature, sales reports can be posted anytime, anywhere, from familiar applications such as Word and Excel, making it an easy to use SFA (Sales Force Automation) tool.
M3 Blog takes advantage of the special features of blogs, such as comment posting. For example, it can be used for posting meeting minutes, to which upper management can post comments. Also, M3 Blog can be used for a variety of business purposes, such as blogs for divisions or departments within the company, daily work reports, or claim handling.
Traditionally email has been used as the main method of sharing internal information such as work reports, or other reports using charts and graphs. However, due to increases in the number of employees as well as the volume of information, the amount of unnecessary email has increased significantly. Also, because unnecessary emails are mixed with these emails, the need to search through folders leads to a decrease in work efficiency.
"M3 Blog Server" allows any user with blog posting and viewing permission to post entries, find relevant data, and easily manage information using the blog.
