SamePage Customer Stories
Here are the stories and case-studies of customers using SamePage.
Global Financial-Technology Company
A US-based, publicly traded global brokerage and financial markets technology company has been a SamePage customer since it deployed the dynamic enterprise wiki as an on-premise solution in 2007. Almost everyone in the technology division, which constitutes close to half of this company’s approximately 1000 employees worldwide, uses the SamePage wikis for development projects on a daily basis. Those development projects span about 20 offices in 10 countries. In North America, this includes New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Toronto; around the globe, it includes England, Spain, Israel, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
“There are 20 offices around the world, most with developers who are collaborating on a variety of distributed agile development projects; my job is to make is as easy as possible for all of them to work together,” said the manager of global development infrastructure. In this instance, SamePage has made it easy for him. “We’d be lost without it,” he said.

SAITS was created to support gaps in technology support, the effective sharing of information across departments and to ensure compatibility and common functionality across the division, helping advance the use of information and technology resources and services. Over time, the wiki will become a resource for the division. "I can't imagine we could have made a better choice. This one did not take us a lot of effort to start up and work with. I definitely feel we made the right choice."

Citrix
Citrix is one of the global leaders in application delivery infrastructure with annual
revenues of more that 1.1 billion in 2006.
Citrix chose SamePage as the wiki for all its non-engineering staff because it offered a
simple and powerful mechanism to create content and collaborate without having to learn wiki
syntax. It also offered a robust mechanism to integrate with existing corporate LDAP thereby
ensuring security and ability to leverage the organizational structure.
The tool has improved collaboration in various departments - Marketing, Sales, HR etc
while requiring minimal IT intervention. According to Mike Suding, the IT Director - "I can make
[a user] an admin of a certain space or project and they can add their own members and invite
their own people to participate and post their own texts or graphics or attachments.
Accomplishing similar goals with the existing intranet and e-mail and collaboration platform
would be more complicated".

NIE/Siemens
The National Institue of Education (NIE) is one of the largest educational institute in
Singapore and Siemens is helping them implement a collaboration portal that will enable
thousands of students to create wikis and blogs for academic work as well as sharing ideas
and knowledge.
They chose SamePage as the solution of choice because of its "ease-of-use, intuitive
interface and the WYSIWYG editing feature". The powerful security, audit trail and ability
to archive content provided a ready solution that could be given out to thousands of students,
faculty and other personnel within NIE. This solution had to be deployed on a complex, high
availability clustered infrastructure with seamless integration to LDAP. SamePage not only
offered a robust solution for deployment, but the SamePage team worked closely with Siemens
to ensure a smooth deployment.

versatile editor and the ability to organize data logically. They found SamePage's industry
leading WYSIWYG editor, and the project-page paradigm to be a perfect match for their needs.
Further, the granular permission security structure and ACL-aware search capabilities provided
the ideal fit for their desire to create a Wiki that was both inclusive as we all secure.
