wiki strategy, design and implementation

Looking for a web-based file sharing tool, collaboration portal, project management website or knowledge management system for your organisation?  Perhaps you need an intranet or an extranet for your business?  A wiki might be just what you need...

What's a wiki?  Besides being a Hawaiian word for 'fast', regular users of the world's biggest wiki, Wikipedia, will know that a wiki is a collaborative web publishing tool. 

Wikis permit all users to publish, edit, comment on, and even delete content on the site, without the need to operate through a traditional regulatory 'webmaster'.  

The idea is that the 'community' of users is self-regulating, ensuring that the wiki's content is continually being updated and improved.  And who can argue with that - many pundits believe that Wikipedia today is more accurate than Encyclopedia Britannica, despite its distributed authorship.

A wiki can be great for your business too.  Wikis can be deployed as internal intranet sites, extranets, knowledge management systems, file sharing tools, project management tools, a substitute for email, or even as a traditional public-facing website.

How do I get a wiki?

Blue Train uses Atlassian Confluence as its preferred wiki platform.  Atlassian is an Australian company based in Sydney with an international reputation for producing fantastic software.

Confluence is a simple, powerful wiki that lets you create and share pages, documents and rich content with your team.  Confluence is a software-as-a-service product, which means that it is hosted on the web and it is accessible from any internet connection.  You can learn more about Atlassian Confluence on the Atlassian website.

Our wiki design and implementation service includes the following:

• Atlassian Confluence installation and configuration
• Initial setup of wiki architecture and base content
• 1 day on-site consulting, including a detailed training session for wiki users within your organisation
• Provision of instructional documentation
• 3 months email support post-delivery
• Priority support (if required - additional cost)

How much will this cost?

Whilst some specific client requirements may impact upon the cost, the standard price for a wiki design and implementation is $2,495 ex GST ($2,745 inc GST). 

This fee is for a wiki implementation in Adelaide, South Australia.  Blue Train is available to undertake wiki implementations interstate but the cost of travel (single day for on-site consulting and training) is borne by the client.

Note that there is a monthly subscription fee payable to Atlassian after implementation.  This monthly fee starts at US$150 per month (for up to ten users).
