Mi5 is undergoing a technology upgrade. Version 5.0 will decouple the document management store to enable Mi5 to interface to other document repositories in future, not only its own. Workflow and database changes are also in progress. An application programming interface (API) is planned to enable other computer based systems to interface with Mi5.

As this is a major upgrade in terms of the user interface, all training material and help text will also be updated.

Availability is planned for early Q1 2011.

Mi5 is an easy solution to setup and use. Your organisation can enjoy the benefits of a Marketing Management solution with little technical involvement. Mi5 setup is via a restricted “Admin” function where the assigned System Administrator (SA) can define the processes and information relevant to your organisation. This System Administrator does not have be a technical person, ideally they are within the business unit and have a good understanding of processes to be harnessed in Mi5.

Flexibility and ease of use is the key advantage of Mi5. If you don't know where to start in defining your marketing process, Mi5's Out of the Box Marketing Processes will get you started.

It's not much fun collaborating with yourself. Mi5 is licensed per user but we have also licensed per site. To realise the benefits of Mi5, several user's should be considered. From there you can add additional users as needs change.

The time it takes will vary by the number of processes, the number of users and the resources and time allocated in managing the implementation.

With Mi5's Out of the Box Marketing Processes, you can get started very quickly. Normally you would:

• Setup Mi5 to reflect the processes you want to manage and review with some key users
• Rollout the system to a core group of users
• Rollout the system to all other users
• Review your internal implementation with users
• Provide feedback and self assessment for continuous improvement

We can provide workbooks and guidance to assist.

Training will be available online. We no longer provide printed materials or PDF files as they easily become out of date. Online help is also available.
