The traditional world of the well-defined business enterprise is being replaced by the new world of the extended enterprise. You probably already operate in this world; if you work with partners and resellers, if you have joint ventures or beta customers, if you use hosted software, if you outsource core functions of your company to a service provider or if you have home workers, freelancers or consultants – your business future is inextricably intertwined with numerous other companies and individuals who are “outside” of your company. The success of your relationships with those others is critical to the success of your business.

In today’s business world the extended enterprise is not a choice, it is a necessity. However, managing these various relationships and communications is key to your success so you need an environment that enables you to maximize the benefit from your extended enterprise and open up the communication lines between all parties involved.

This requires a community management system that enables you to set-up, manage and monitor a community (or communities) of disparate parties. Firestarter’s user dashboard system and powerful administration tools enable companies to quickly and easily create and manage communities and shared workspaces of disparate groups. Each participant has a flexible and personalized interface from which to interact with the others, and easy oversight can be administered if required.
