Mindjet delivers a feature rich web-based collaborative mind mapping and document management solution that mind mapping enthusiasts will applaud for all the features included in a free, online collaborative solution.

When a software vendor provides a solution for free, most of us assume the software is a scaled down version of the professional solution that the vendor uses as bait to upgrade to the professional version. With Mindjet Connect, each user can create a free 1 GB Mindjet Connect account and start collaborating and exchanging ideas. This was an adequate workaround, but if project teams want true, real-time, collaborative brainstorming, each participant should be able to interact with the tool. I solved this problem by running my own copy of the software and facilitated the brainstorming session with an overhead digital projector and a web conferencing solution.

With other non-web based tools, each user needs to have their own software license for team members to effectively collaborate and brainstorm. Mindjet Connect is a free collaboration platform that enables project teams to visually capture ideas and information, share files, and collaborate with others in real time or anytime. For this post, I’ll focus on Mindject Connect. The latest releases of Mindjet’s MindManager 2012 and Mindjet Connect provide a better way to work and collaborate across the web. The popularity of cloud computing has set certain expectations of being able to edit a document on your laptop at work, and then go home and edit the same document on your iPhone, iPad, Android device, or your home computer.Īs project teams become more mobile and dispersed, there is an increasing need to connect and collaborate using cloud-based solutions.

The rise in popularity of web-based collaboration tools like Basecamp, LiquidPlanner, Microsoft SharePoint, Box.net, Jive, and Cohuman demonstrated a need to enable work management and collaboration across multiple platforms and multiple locations. Work management tools are offering new ways to work and brainstorm solutions using mobile platforms and storing solutions "in the cloud." Mindject Connect is one example.
