Elgg services for business, education and government

After joining the Elgg team three weeks ago, I’ve spent some time introducing myself to existing and prospective Elgg customers, finding out what they like about our ‘Enterprise’ proposition and identifying those areas where we may be able to enhance what we’re offering (or in some cases just express what we’re offering differently!)

As a result of this feedback, we’ve refined the services available on elgg.com so they better meet the requirements of customers.

We have now separated out the components of the service into a menu of options, including:

- Support for Elgg-powered networks
- Our Managed service, where we host the infrastructure and provide full support and upgrades
- Consulting and training services to help customers plan and implement an Elgg network

We’ve also looked at our growing and popular range of Extensions such as ElggMulti, which are particularly suited to larger networks, and have decided to make these individually available on an annual subscription basis, which includes support, updates and upgrades.

We will be launching ElggExpress over the coming weeks. This builds on the former ‘ElggLite’ service and offers a one-stop solution that includes all the features of Elgg, hosted in a cloud-based environment so you can be up and running within minutes. It comes with a range of capacity, user and pricing options and even includes a free 30-day trial period.

Finally, ElggCampus has become our ‘turn key’ solution for larger organizations that want to implement a social layer into their technology stack. It’s particularly suited to businesses, academic institutions or government bodies that want to run large networks or a series of networks/sub-networks.

Further information is available on the site www.elgg.com.
