What is Refinder
Successful teams are the ones which collaborate effectively. Refinder is an online collaboration tool for teams to collect and share information. Teams use it to collect information from different desktop and online applications in one place, filter the data, and find relevant information. Organizations use Refinder for idea sharing, supporting project teams, creating a social intranet, finding experts, and better communication internally and with external partners.
Simple. Refinder is simple. You register in a minute, open a collection, start working. Adding co-workers is simple. Adding new information is easy and quick. Staying up to date is guaranteed with email notifications and activity streams. Get your work done. Refinder helps you to organize it.
Intelligent. With Refinder, information finds you, whether it is hidden in your library or has been published by a co-worker. Files, websites and experts – all answers are just few clicks away.
Refinder is different from other systems. It’s “social semantic software”. It looks familiar, but you will notice some clever changes compared to other systems:
- First, information can be useful in many different situations. This is why you can import data and add a thing to two collections and share it with different people. Information can flow freely.
- Second, information can only be understood in relation to the things it talks about. This is why you can link a thing to other things, wherever they are.
- Third, we want to support you with intelligent automatization. Refinder looks for related things that could be useful for your work and recommends it to you.
- To achieve this, Refinder is based on a standardized and clever framework under the hood: the “Linked Data Principles”.
Secure. Refinder uses an encrypted data transfer technology (HTTPS) that stops others from reading your data. When we connect to external systems like your desktop or your web data, we use OAUTH and encrypted one-time keys to make sure only services you authorized can access your account.
Teams use Refinder to
- Collect information in once place: files, contacts, web bookmarks, appointments, notes, questions, tasks, and everything else needed to collaborate.
- Keep using your existing software and data if you want. Refinder is able to integrate your applications and links to your data.
- Get recommendations for relevant content when working on a topic or task. Filter and drill down on large information collections to find relevant data.
- Share and discuss on projects, tasks, meetings and anything else you need to work on.
- Organize information by linking, commenting and liking it.
- Stay connected with others without disrupting them. Ask questions and get answers. Document decisions and get back to them.
- Create private collections for personal information management.
Organizations use Refinder to
- Support a collaborative, task-oriented work culture in flexible teams.
- Support communication between different departments, with external partners, customers, and suppliers.
- Collaborate in a private and secure network.
- Safe time spent on finding information and asking questions via email.
