Intranets.com Recognized by N.Y.C. Mayor Bloomberg for 9/11 Contributions
Local technology company recognized for helping 9/11 non-profit consortium
Boston, MA (September 25, 2003) - Intranets.com, the leading provider of online collaboration services, was today honored by the 9/11 United Services Group (USG) in a recognition event hosted by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at Gracie Mansion. USG, a consortium of 39 human services organizations working on the front lines of the September 11th recovery efforts, along with Mayor Bloomberg, officially thanked more than 25 companies for providing their services to those working to help the thousands of people impacted by the events of September 11, 2001. Intranets.com was one of the honorees.
"Coordinating our efforts is a massive undertaking because we work with so many different organizations at a variety of locations," said Lauren Rosen, Program Director at USG. "Intranets.com was able to immediately set-up a web-based Intranet where we can share critical 9/11 information and resources as well as better coordinate the joint efforts of our member agencies. Intranets.com is helping us focus on the needs of the affected people by putting crucial information at the fingertips of all the agencies in our network."
As part of its community service outreach program, Intranets.com provided a secure collaboration site for use by USG Service Coordinators - case workers who have one-on-one, long term relationships with people affected by 9/11 - to help them build a personal recovery plan. The site enables constant communication among USG Service Coordinators by acting as their information portal and discussion forum. Currently, more than 500 people and 40 organizations working with USG are utilizing Intranets.com's online collaboration services.
"We're honored to be recognized by Mayor Bloomberg for the work we're doing with the 9/11 United Services Group," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Intranets.com. "We're pleased that our online collaboration service can help the many disparate agencies involved with the USG work together in a faster, more meaningful way."
Other companies honored at the event include Goldman Sachs, IBM, Bear Stearns, Oracle, and Morgan Stanley.
