ITinvolve announced the launch of its Summer '13 release, with over 100 enhancements to its two flagship products: ITinvolve Knowledge Collaborator and ITinvolve Service Manager.
ITinvolve Knowledge Collaborator is designed with modern social collaboration principles to easily promote knowledge sharing, crowd-sourcing and peer review; the ability to 'follow' knowledge that's most relevant to a specific individual; and automatically be updated on knowledge as it's added.

• Activity stream topics to align effort and drive cross-collaboration.
• Enhanced communication methods, including speech-to-text support for mobile and other device types, broadcast notifications and the ability to easily add followers.
• Expanded configurability and extensibility without coding.
ITinvolve Service Manager is the next-generation ITSM solution combining collaborative IT processes with the knowledge IT professionals need to better understand and manage their complex IT environments.
