February 2019
01/ Communications Dashboard

During the month of February, the amount of new users, meaning people who have never been on the site, increased by 6% since February 2018. Also, the amount of users, meaning people who’ve been on the site more than once during February, also increased by 6%. The average session duration, which is the amount of time each user spends on the site, decreased by 21%, and the pageviews, which is the total amount of views the site received, increased by 75%. The increases are quite an achievement! The average session duration decrease is nothing too alarming because, on average, users are spending about a minute and a half on the site. The statistics have improved greatly compared to February of last year, and this will hopefully continue in 2019 as more events are scheduled. Innovate New Albany continues to send the weekly newsletter, which contains upcoming TIGER events and blog posts, that brings traffic to the Innovate New Albany website.

MailJive was founded in 2016 in Fort Worth, Texas, by Mark Doyle, an experienced software developer and consultant to small and medium-size businesses .  Mark moved to New Albany along with his businesses in early 2018.

The mission of MailJive is to help organizations retain knowledge – despite employee turnover being a fact of life. To that end, MailJive’s goal is to provide a service that preserves knowledge, and makes it more easily accessible to employees.

MailJive is a knowledge base that builds itself. Its software is an effortless knowledge-sharing service allows client companies to build a knowledge base as employees communicate using email and Slack. MailJive helps companies preserve and share the institutional or tribal knowledge that is being communicated, which means better real-time documentation than your existing company wiki or knowledge portal, where the information is often lacking or quickly becomes outdated.  In turn, this gives MailJive’s clients the power to mitigate the effects of brain drain.

With MailJive, employees will experience more accurate searching. New hires will see faster ramp-up time. Leaders will be able to make better decisions. Managers and team will feel less anxiety, and client companies will reap the rewards.
