Onfolio

Customer Profiles

Higher Education

Researcher
“As a biomedical researcher, I need to stay on top of a broad range of scientific and trade publications. Onfolio 2.0 allows me to organize scholarly publications and other information by project, and is invaluable when I'm writing up our own research or preparing a grant proposal. The integration with Firefox is a particularly welcome addition in this version.”

-- Ben Miller, Associate Professor of Dermatology, Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Biomedical Engineering University of Rochester Medical Center

Research Librarian
"In my work as a research librarian, I've found Onfolio to be invaluable. I can easily search databases and send professors my findings in one complete file (rather than emailing many PDFs). When examining other library websites for ideas, I make notes instantly about features we might consider emulating (no longer using random pieces of paper I might lose later). In all, Onfolio has saved me a great deal of time and has allowed me to better organize my work."

-- Debbie Ginsberg Electronic Resources Librarian, Illinois Institute of Technology

Professor
“One of the pleasures of Onfolio is that I keep finding new uses for it. I started using it to gather information about options when researching a major purchase - a new digital camera was its first major test. The ability to gather links, photos, specs and price information in one place was highly valuable. I proceeded from there to use it as the major repository for material for a new course I developed this spring on the "skyscraper." Onfolio was excellent for gathering information, particularly images and image source references for the course. Currently I use the "feeds" capability both for daily news information on about ten different topics and for monitoring a web-based project management site for a new research project. I'm highly enthusiastic both about its current capabilities and the way in which Onfolio keeps improving.”

-- James E. Mitchell, Professor

Graduate Student
“For a full-time MBA student, Onfolio 2.0 is an indispensable tool because every class, extracurricular activity, or career search requires me to collaborate with students and share online information from emails, to websites and snippets of research. For example, a recent market research project on Wi-Fi hotspots was compiled inside Onfolio 2.0 and easily shared with Onfolio Publisher. Additionally, Onfolio helped my team source and decide on promotional materials for the Wharton Technology Conference. Finally, the Firefox integration, I have a choice of browsers from which to use Onfolio.”

-- Vele Samak, Wharton MBA student, Director of Content, Wharton Technology Conference 2005

General Business

Healthcare
“As the individual who is responsible for the overall strategy and development for a major healthcare system, it is difficult to capture and retain the wealth of information that the Internet has to offer. I searched for a product that might be able to help me collect the hundreds of technical articles and documents that I browse every day and joyfully ran into Onfolio. I started using Onfolio in its first version and am I even more pleased with the amount of new features that have been added to already stellar product. My ability to capture full web sites for research and design strategies in Onfolio 2.0 has been a tremendous help to my productivity. Onfolio 2.0 brings even more power to the managing of all my data and allows me to easily share data with my staff. I am not sure how I managed before Onfolio.”

-- Brian Gorbett, Director, Web Services, Cleveland Clinic Health System

Technology
“With Onfolio, I'm able to get a truly holistic picture of my business and marketing research. Onfolio provides me with the best possible solution for organizing all of the various data that help me manage and direct my efforts clearly.”

-- John D. Estafanous, JD, President, Estco Medical

Technology
“A large part of my role as CTO is keeping up to date with the continual expansion of new technologies and techniques, and identifying those that may give business advantage to iMeta and its customers. Onfolio 2.0 provides a valuable repository in which I can store and revisit items of interest. With the excellent RSS reader and the Outlook and browser integration, making full use of the repository is simple, and the days of 'information loss' are over”

-- Steve Strong, Chief Technical Officer, iMeta

Small Business

Insurance
“Our firm provides Employee Benefits for clients across Florida. We must stay current on Federal and State regulations affecting Employee Benefits as well as the best-practices of Public and Private Employers around the Country. This information is very fluid and its accuracy supports our advice to our clients. Onfolio helps us track Information from many different sources and properly catalog it for later retrieval by our staff or our clients. We began using Onfolio when it was first released to the public; and were very happy with Version 1.0. Version 2.0 is a valuable upgrade for firms like ours who must track and assimilate information digitally in the internet age.”

-- Bob Taylor, President and CEO, Combined Insurance Services, Inc.

Technology
“As a Network Administrator for a small business, and the only source for interoffice tech support, I have very little time to browse the web in search of the latest and greatest information. Onfolio fills a void in that it plugs right into Firefox, a huge selling point for me, and its ‘newspaper layout’ is to die for. I've tried almost every RSS reader available, and nothing comes close to Onfolio. It is in a class by itself.”

-- Evan Erwin, Network Administrator, System Improvements, Inc.

Finance

Investment Banking
“I am with an Boston based investment banking firm and desperately needed an integrated tool to help solve 3 problems: 1) a way to organize and share data from web searches, emails and various other sources, related to our investment banking projects 2) a way to keep current on various industry trends - this is accomplished by subscribing to various relevant Blogs through the feed reader and then adding valuable insights to my integrated project collections and 3) a way to feed my own Blog for purposes of seamlessly and almost effortlessly communicating information to others that may be valuable to them. Onfolio 2.0 is a major breakthrough for providing the integrated, state-of-the-art functionality I needed to accomplish the listed objectives. The software has boosted my productivity and level of organization dramatically.”

-- Peter Phelps, Partner, Cobblestone Advisers LLC, Boston, Massachusetts

Consulting

Knowledge Management
“As a knowledge consultant I must stay constantly on top of numerous blogs and websites as I search for relevant business information. Onfolio 2.0's magnificent RSS reader and Firefox integration allow me to successfully organize, digest and distribute all this information without getting in the way of my daily workflow.”

-- Carlos Granier-Phelps, Knowledge Manager, red66.com

Technical
“As the technical director of a software consultancy we use Agile programming techniques and a variety of technologies to design and develop our client’s dreams into a reality for their businesses. Onfolio is an indispensable tool for our daily work. At Prismix, we use Onfolio as our companies' knowledge base. All online research is pooled by us collectively and archived throughout our working days. This has resulted in a major increase in how effective we can be while in the office. Instead of asking each other questions, we first consult Onfolio and more often than not find that one of our co-workers has already found and archived the answer. It pools our knowledge and facilitates a collective organizational understanding. After installing Onfolio 2.0, we are more effective, we communicate better, and thus we add more value to our customers. Onfolio has increased my online communications tenfold. Rather than breaking up the context of my work to publish online, I can slipstream blogging into my regular workflow. This increase in outgoing communication has resulted in more business coming in because our blog draws people to our site. The RSS newsreader and aggregation functionality is an intuitive way to sort through and interpret the confusing mélange of blogs and online new feeds. News is grouped neatly together, in a homogenous format so I can make choices with my limited time as to what information I choose to consume. I can get in and out quickly reading the news I want, rather than being distracted by online ads or confusing website navigation. It acts like an intelligent news editor who sifts neatly through all online information and presents it to me.”

-- Alan Manning, Prismix
