Mindbuilt ECS brings together projects, processes and people across departments, time zones and organizational boundaries to create a more productive, dynamic and efficient enterprise.

1. Single Point of Access:
   
   Mindbuilt ECS is 100% browser based and acts as a single point of access for all your employees. It gives you the ability to make the portal ubiquitous in your business environment. You can log into any browser and get your customized information with a single sign-on.
   
   
   
2. Portlets:
   
   Mindbuilt ECS is organized into portlets. Portlets can be viewed as places that are dedicated to individual departments, customers or teams. Portlets allow you to maintain a separate environment customized with the proper information and tools for different business units and a secure access to the users. This helps integrate isolated departments and enhances the productivity.
   
   
   
3. Awareness:
   
   Mindbuilt ECS is awareness enabled. There is huge value in knowing, in advance, whether a person will be able to respond to you as opposed to making "blind" phone calls or sending e-mail messages.
   
   Getting an immediate answer from someone who is on-line and available rather waiting for a return email or placing a long-distance phone call can save hours if not days in project work schedule and thousands of dollars in long distance phone charges.
   
   
   
4. Chat:
   
   Using Mindbuilt ECS you can chat online with any of your team members. Online chatting was once considered taboo in the workplace is now the standard form of communication after email. Chatting allows you to get answers faster, solve problems quicker and assemble & lead teams more effectively.
   
   
   
5. Personal and Shared Calendars:
   
   Mindbuilt ECS provides calendar support on multiple levels. It allows you to maintain a personal calendar, a portlet-wide event calendar and a portlet-wide user calendar. You can view calendars of your team members and plan events accordingly.
   
   
   
6. Online Discussions:
   
   A discussion is a multi-person conversation made up of several individual topics. You can have "threaded" discussion-topics and replies to the topics with your teammates. Even with teams working in the same location, online discussions permit individual thinking and introspective into the topic in consideration allowing teams to add value through reflective thinking.
   
   
   
7. Group Tasks:
   
   A task is a piece of work assigned to a person or persons that helps a project move towards its completion. Mindbuilt ECS keeps record of: Tasks Assigned to You, Tasks Assigned by You and Portlet Tasks. Portlet Tasks contain a list of all the tasks that are assigned to particular portlet members. ECS also maintains task update history, task status, priority etc.
   
   
   
8. Integrated Document Library:
   
   Mindbuilt ECS maintains two different kinds of document libraries: one for individual users and the other for individual portlets. Users can securely store, access, organize, publish, manage and share important files and documents from any location.
   
   
   
9. Group Phonebook:
   
   Mindbuilt ECS maintains an advance phonebook that categorizes all your contacts in different categories and sub-categories.
   
   
10. News/Announcements:
