Situation: Your Small Team Wants to Try Web 2.0 PM for Free.
Yooplus is a small venture-backed company that recently came out with We+, a web 2.0 collaborative workspace that provides your team with a broad range of collaborative tools --- at no charge. This free version is great if your project is doesnt involve trade secrets or any information your company holds dear. Its also a great way to get your feet wet with this stuff (project blogs, wikis, tags, rss feeds, etc.). If later, you want a more secure, more robust environment with more storage space, you can upgrade for a fee.
From my perspective, the trick with these types of tools lies in getting people to use them effectively. Sometimes its having the right leadership in place, other times its just having a team that is open to these new ways of working together. In either case, this is a good way of seeing whether you can make it work without paying.
The free version includes: 10mbs online storage support, unlimited users, unlimited projects and FAQ/online support.
The upgraded/paid version includes - 10GB storage, email and phone support, configuration and training support, database and file encryption, daily backup, on-demand retrieval, SLA, SSL security, API and web service integration and support.(50 Euros/mo)
