Feature Overview

Rock solid, Open Source Platform!

BusinessWiki uses MediaWiki as a Core Platform (see BusinessWiki Architecure). MediaWiki was used to build world-greatest wiki site - Wikipedia.org.

MediaWik Architecture is very scalable and flexible. BusinessWiki sites could be converted into and from MediaWiki sites - so You do not have to worry about Business-Safety!

Also - there are millions of thousands free mediawiki extensions that will be compatible with BusinessWiki!

We also offer BusinessWiki as Open Source. If You would like to develop custom projects please go to Open Source Section.
