TWiki provides companies the capability to improve and collaborate on engineering, marketing, sales, HR and support processes, while allowing users to generate and share rich content using a web browser. TWiki is well suited as a corporate knowledge base, document management system, or a groupware tool, on the company’s internet, intranet or extranet. TWiki’s unique architecture enables automation of business processes through light-weight applications that can be developed by users without programming skills. Powered by its open architecture, developers have been extending TWiki functionality with hundreds of plugins to automate common tasks such as project planning, spreadsheet calculation and data visualization. Integration with LDAP, Active Directory and relational databases further enables IT managers to manage users, security and compliance policies with ease.
