Kerika is the smarter alternative to email for sharing documents, ideas and processes within distributed teams: it provides a visual context for sharing and managing documents, takes care of versions and comments, supports process templates and project workflows, and handles very large files (up to 50MB). Kerika connects Windows, Mac and Linux users across organizations, networks and locations, without requiring anyone to upgrade their computers, incur up-front costs, hire consultants, or make long-term commitments. The document management is a popular feature of the product: with just two steps you can share a document with any of your Kerika buddies. Each person can easily provide feedback to the rest of the team in a variety of ways: (a) By attaching comments or tasks to a document: these are linked to the document but don’t actually mess up the document itself, and (b) By editing or modifying a document: this automatically creates a separate version of the document which is distributed to the rest of the team. Kerika clearly identifies each version of a document by author and does all the filing on your computer so your file folders don’t get cluttered up. Owners of documents can also periodically make back-up copies of their documents, to backtrack when necessary or just track a document’s historical evolution. These old versions are also made available automatically to the project team. Other features include: instant messaging (chat), real-time notifications of updates, and great visual tools for laying out your ideas and sharing them with your buddies across the world. Kerika is currently used by lawyers, academics, students, nonprofits, consultants, marketing agencies in four continents.
