Liaise intelligently captures critical items in emails and tracks them with up-to-the-minute reports -- all without changing the way your work Sunnyvale, CA and DEMOfall '09—September 22, 2009—Business people can stay in control of the myriad of issues and action items noted and assigned in email, instant messages, web or other communications thanks to a new technology unveiled by Liaise today at DEMOfall'09. Initially available for email, Liaise automatically captures information for managing business interactions as you type and receive messages -- without changing the way you work. "All of us struggle to stay on top of the hundreds of action items buried in email, IM and text messages we send and receive every day," said Sidney Minassian, Liaise's co-founder and CEO. "We worry that critical actions are falling through the cracks so we spend a lot of time hunting through emails, preparing for meetings and creating to-do lists. We've tried tools that are supposed to help, but they require us to learn or use new systems. That's why we created Liaise. "Liaise is the first product to effortlessly capture and manage critical items in the messages you send and receive," he said. "With Liaise, you are always up to date, prepared and in control." Liaise will begin offering its product as a free limited private beta starting today. People interested in being among the first to use Liaise can sign up by going to www.liaise.com. See a demonstration of Liaise here: www.liaise.com/video. Liaise's first implementation supports email, which is by far the primary collaboration and communication tool used by businesses today. Optimized for Microsoft Outlook® users, Liaise automatically annotates and keeps track of action items as you type emails to others, and then captures them into easy-to-organize and easy-to-print reports. It doesn't matter whether the email recipient is using Liaise or not. Responses to emails sent via Liaise from any email platform such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail, or even from mobile email systems such as Blackberry and iPhone, are automatically tracked by Liaise. Liaise provides substantial value if you are the only one using it. But it becomes even more valuable for a group. When used by a team, Liaise Web Services tracks any change made to an assignment or task and automatically shares it with every team member, without the need to send an additional email. "When Liaise first gave me a demo, I knew immediately that I needed this service," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of DEMO. "It's actionable, accountable and auditable – and you don't have to leave the communications tools you're already using to make it work. By filling the gap between personal productivity and group management solutions, Liaise can help individuals and businesses drive toward successful business outcomes." The foundation of Liaise technology is the company's patent-pending KeyPoint Intelligence™ which automatically identifies and captures the KeyPoints in a message, noting where work is being assigned or a commitment is being made. Over time Liaise learns the user's writing style, continually improving its accuracy in capturing the nuances in these KeyPoints. KeyPoint Intelligence also includes the unique management system that keeps track of issues and actions, providing summaries, alerts, reports, integrating with calendar and an advanced KeyPoint Search. "We've started with email, and plan to offer mobile, instant messaging and web as soon as we can," said Minassian. "Our roadmap also calls for creating links to other platforms to capture and export real time data into products like CRM systems, knowledge management portals and document management systems. Our first step is the beta we start today." "Liaise's mission is to turn words into action – wherever words are used. This is only the start," he said.
