We're located in Cedar Grove, NJ, USA (about 25 minutes west of NYC). Phone: 973.433.4007 or drop us a line here or Stay connected - RSS Feeds/Site Map
Solving your problem. We know software is only part of the solution. The rest, call it strategy, is understanding: Online communities - Collaboration - Participation - Information Flows - Relationships - How people get work done and User generated content. Having a strategy is critically important.

We initially learned about those ideas and processes from working in open source software (OSS) communities and in business development.

We're committed to delivering scalable, first-class solutions for our customers and their customers by adopting innovative practices and intelligent approaches to our work.

Affinity Circles

Affinity Circles began in 2002 as a way for Stanford University students to stay in touch with their friends and colleagues. What quickly developed was the Web's first private and completely secure online social network.

Realizing the application's dual utility as a powerful networking solution, the original Affinity Circles founders soon decided to shop their trusted application around. In 2003 they began marketing it to other alumni associations and organizations. The response was overwhelming positive, and a string of engaging, member-based online communities were soon created.

Today Affinity Circles remains committed to creating trusted social networks, and to attracting top visionary talent. Such talent has helped them achieve the continued rapid growth of their customer base and the introduction of numerous groundbreaking features and services.

Ask Me

Company Overview

AskMe Corporation is the leading provider of enterprise software and professional services for deploying employee knowledge networks. We are successfully helping Global 2000 companies leverage their most valuable asset - their employees' knowledge and expertise - to drive organizational success and improve bottom-line performance.

Our expertise resides in the rapidly growing and high-impact market of emerging collaboration and knowledge management technologies - a market closely monitored by leading analyst firms that include Gartner, Giga Information Group, Meta Group and IDC. The significance of this market is tremendous, with worldwide organizations already investing billions of dollars on these technologies, and collectively these experts forecast that this figure can be expected to exponentially grow moving forward.

IDC supports the significance of the market, noting that the average cost of ineffective knowledge management has been translated to $5,000 per worker per year in 1999 and is expected to increase to more than $5,800 in 2003. This statistic indicates that the average Global 2000 organization employing 80,000 employees will lose an astounding $4.4 billion annually by failing to invest in technologies that help to improve employee-to-employee collaboration and knowledge sharing!

With the strongest customer base of any provider in our category, AskMe is providing companies like Procter & Gamble, Honeywell and Gerber with the only award-winning employee knowledge network solution that has been proven time and time again through real-world customer deployments. That, combined with our financial strength, domain and industry expertise and ability to deliver real business value to our customers, has uniquely positioned AskMe as the provider of choice for the Global 2000. AskMe Corporation was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

What does the name Atlassian mean?
Atlassian

Atlassian means 'like Atlas' or 'Atlas-like' — it's not a real word, but it's the would-be adjectival form of Atlas.

Atlas was an ancient Greek Titan whose role in life was to hold up the sky with his hands to stop it from falling.

He was therefore the first person to fulfill our mission to provide Legendary Service while supporting the world.
Mission

Our mission is to build a different kind of software company — one that listens to client needs, values innovation in development and solves customer problems with brilliant simplicity.
Customers

With over 12,000 customers in more than 104 countries, the Atlassian team is dedicated to making this mission come true every day.
Support

Atlassian's commitment to Legendary Service provides consistent, high quality support for all our customers.

About Us

Awareness helps companies build and operate branded Web 2.0 communities. These online communities let customers, prospects, employees, or partners connect with each other and share content. At the core of the Awareness solution is an on-demand social media platform that combines the full range of Web 2.0 technologies—blogs, wikis, discussion groups, social networking, podcasts, RSS, tagging, photos, videos, mapping, etc.—with security, control, and content moderation. Awareness builds these features into complete communities for companies, or customers use the Awareness API and widgets to integrate Web 2.0 technologies into their own web properties. Major corporations such as McDonald's, Kodak, the New York Times, Northwestern Mutual, and Procter and Gamble use Awareness to build brand loyalty, generate revenue, drive new forms of marketing, improve collaboration, encourage knowledge-sharing, and build a "corporate memory."

The Awareness platform was first launched in January 2005 and now hosts hundreds of online communities. Backed by Greylock Partners and NorthBridge Venture Partners, Awareness is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Note

Awareness used to be called "iUpload." We changed the company's name in July 2007 because we wanted a name that better reflects the value proposition of the company. We hired a firm to help us, and when they interviewed our customers they kept saying that the online communities we built for them gave them a better "awareness" of what their customers were doing, what their employees were thinking, what their prospects wanted, etc. The word kept coming up over and over again, and it just seemed obvious that the right name for the company should be "Awareness." You might find "iUpload" still mentioned in some places on the Web and in reports, but it's referring to the company now known as "Awareness."
