Get to work on the Yakabox™ day one. Everything you need for collaboration, content management, search and social networking is right there and ready to use. But it won't be long before you want apps built specifically for your business. Most can be delivered in a week.
Yakabox custom apps look and work like everything else on the platform. You won't spend hours in class figuring out how to use them.
Clean up messy, repetitive processes. Use a custom app to convert ad hoc procedures to workflows you can track and measure. Automate all those routine, but important, tasks you manage on spreadsheets: personnel recruiting, for example. Rolling out marketing campaigns. Scheduling maintenance activities. Creating proposals. In short, if it's a recurring procedure and takes way too long to do, you can do it better with a Yakabox custom application.
Make the most of data squirreled away in legacy repositories and unsupported databases. Share information from Oracle/Siebel, Lotus Notes, SAP, SalesForce and virtually any other system through a web services connection to the Yakabox. Yakabox applications conform to the way you do business---not the other way around.
