Why a Corporate Business Community

Make every marketing director’s dream come true by bringing your prospects and clients today into a business community: create an auto-updating, self-expanding, ever growing contact database!
Your contacts will constantly update their contact data because they will want to keep receiving community information and updates. There is a simple, fair exchange that takes place: people will trade their contact details for quality information.

It is, therefore, key to focus on the quality and quantity of your company information. Gather all the documents you may find: articles, press releases, brochures, newsletters – all you can find; upload the documents into Agork and begin sharing them with your community. You’ll see the immediate results as your community size starts to increase.

This is the true difference of a Corporate Business Community when compared to a standard internet site: users collaborate in order to improve and complete the contents making it comprehensive and up-to-date. You provide the initial seeds, the community build on them. A Corporate Business Community is a lively place, where users log in frequently to check for updates.

In addition, a well-designed Corporate Business Community helps to expand your contact base: users will network with similar users, keyword searches on the internet will bring new traffic, every good business community will see a continuous flow of new subscribers.
Your success is higly dependent upon the quality of your business community and the information stored in it.

Information Tagging

Agork is extremely easy to use and administer, but hides in its technology a strong, sophisticated engine. Information management inside your Corporate Business Community: a typical example: how many time you have searched a site for information you knew was there but could not find it? Almost every time the information was there but simply classified and/or positioned by its authors in a way that was different than you would have done.
Agork revolutionizes information management through a revolutionary tagging system, improved over the vast majority of web 2.0 applications. Agork enables the tagging of  every object inside your community, from articles to news, from blog posts to user pages, so that they are quickly retrieved at a later stage. But that’s not enough: Agork improves the web by applying three different ‘tagging views’ so that you can watch your personal tags, entire community tags or just the author tags. Depending on the view you select, the information classification changes, giving you an additional chance to find out what you are really looking for.
