Messagemind's Priority Inbox Launched for BlackBerry 7 OS Smartphones - Initial Market Response Highly Positive |
Industry leader launches email Dynamic Prioritization™ technology for BlackBerry OS 7 platform.
New York City – September 22, 2011 – Messagemind, Inc. announced today its enterprise priority inbox for BlackBerry® smartphones based on the BlackBerry® 7 Operating System (OS). At the forefront of a trend centered on mobile workplace strategies, Messagemind will enable millions of enterprise BlackBerry users to dynamically prioritize their email as well as provide a seamless experience between desktop email and BlackBerry® smartphone devices.
“RIM, in conjunction with carrier and distribution partners around the world, is rolling out its largest global launch ever with new BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 & 9930 models and BlackBerry® Torch™ 9810, 9850 and 9860 models, all running the new BlackBerry® 7 OS.,” according to a recent press release by RIM.
Messagemind's Dynamic Prioritization™ technology dramatically improves an executive’s productivity and focus by ranking email on a scale of Very High, High, Medium, Low and Someday and offering built-in work-flow best practices. BlackBerry users can easily customize their views to display only Very High and High priority email during prime business hours. In addition, alerts and escalations can be set based on selected priority levels.
Norman Alpert, Managing Director and Co-founder of Vestar Capital, a New York City based private equity firm has been using Messagemind’s email prioritization software on his desktop (Outlook) and BlackBerry. Says Alpert, “Our IT department recently installed Messagemind’s software on my BlackBerry Bold 9930 model from Verizon Wireless. It has greatly improved my ability to focus on important actions and decisions, giving me peace of mind that nothing important has slipped through the cracks.”
Messagemind is the only company that provides server-based Dynamic Prioritization technology which automatically learns priorities from an individual's natural clicking behavior as well as group collective intelligence & company business rules. The platform has loose-coupled web services connectors to MS® Exchange, BlackBerry® Enterprise Server (BES), MS® OCS & Lync, SharePoint, CRM, LDAP, Employee Directories, Social Networks, and other collaboration tools and delivers intelligence to end-users on MS® Outlook, RIM BlackBerry and other mobile devices. The system can be installed behind a company's firewall and does not require any changes in email flow.
Customers of Messagemind include mid to large global corporations who are building high-performance workplaces while preserving work/life balance. The main consumers of the technology are mid to top level management executives who receive anywhere from 100 to 500+ emails per day. These users leverage the technology to focus on key actions and accelerate decisions.
“Recently, Google launched a version of email prioritization for Gmail, validating the need to better manage the enormous volume of information email users receive each day, says Manish Sood, CEO, Messagemind, Inc. “However, Google Priority Inbox is limited to Gmail users and lacks features required by enterprises such as multi-level prioritization, workflow best practices, collective learning from enterprise collaboration systems and integration with enterprise security and privacy management systems, admin controls to setup company business rules, among others. Enterprises can continue to leverage their investment in their existing email platforms such as MS Exchange/BES and work within familiar tools such as MS® Outlook, BlackBerry and other mobile devices. Google Priority Inbox requires companies to migrate to Gmail.”
“Messagemind makes BlackBerry’s smartphones even smarter.” adds Sood.

Messagemind™ Signs Multiple Clients in Financial Services Industry, Helping Executives Solve Email Overload Problem on Outlook and BlackBerry |
New York City – August 23, 2011 – Messagemind, Inc., a global provider of email prioritization and other workforce performance and business intelligence tools, announced today, the acquisition of multiple financial services industry clients based on Wall Street.
While each firm’s expertise and size range, each has a common and persistent issue related to the exponential growth of email and the drag that it causes on executive performance. Attempts to fix the problem through training and diverting traffic to chat & blogs didn’t cut it. Management saw employees fall back into old habits and practices. Messagemind’s C-Mail Dynamic Prioritization™ & Workflow Platform provide an automated and sustainable solution, helping to solve these problems across a wide range of business units and role-based functions.
C-Mail’s smart Dynamic Prioritization engine learns an executive’s priorities and automatically prioritizes and organizes email within Microsoft® Outlook/ Exchange, BlackBerry® OS/BES, and supports ActiveSync based mobile platforms (including iPhone, iPad, Windows® 7, Android). Support for Lotus® Notes/ Domino is in development.
Patented and highly sophisticated algorithms work in the background learning what is important based on a person’s natural email use, past email history, and collective intelligence from other users within an enterprise. Company administrators have the flexibility to set optional business rules to align workforce priorities with company goals. For instance, a particular clients’ email can be automatically ranked Very High priority in the mailboxes of employees working in the Sales and Customer Service departments.
End-users can easily provide feedback to the system. ‘Smart learning’, ‘Dynamic Prioritization’ and intuitive workflow, relieves users of the burden and stress of endlessly sifting through email, thus enhancing their focus on business priorities, saving valuable time and enabling faster decision-making. C-Mail adds unique views to Outlook and BlackBerry, but leaves in place the standard Inbox and other native functionalities.
Manish Sood, CEO, Messagemind, Inc. states “each of these new clients has a relentless focus on performance, execution and results – they are the best in the industry and they want to continue to be the best in the industry. Messagemind C-Mail Dynamic Prioritization™ technology is the only production-grade email prioritization technology available today with server-based architecture that supports and learns from all the places where executives spend most of their time: E-mail and documents i.e. Exchange/Outlook, BES/BlackBerry, iPhone/iPad, OCS/Lynch and SharePoint.”

Messagemind Helps Monetize Knowledge Networks & Relationships from E-mail, SharePoint, CRM, LDAP, Other Communication Tools |
New York City – August 3, 2011 – Messagemind’s groundbreaking knowledge and relationship mapping product, OPEN surfaces business intelligence within enterprises, enabling them to capitalize on a wealth of untapped information.
Messagemind’s OPEN platform uniquely delivers ‘relevant’ and timely information. Messagemind algorithms, working in the background, automatically learn user interaction and accurately maps knowledge networks and relationships without user intervention. This is in contrast with social network mapping tools that depend on significant user intervention in the form of constant updating, tagging, filling forms, adding colleagues to their networks, etc... In addition, the results of using these tools are lists which themselves must be searched for relevance.
Manish Sood, CEO, Messagemind, Inc. says “recent Messagemind technology implementations with global enterprise customers including investment banks, aerospace companies, pharmaceutical and consumer good conglomerates have shown that there are multiple cost savings as well as revenue generating business cases across the entire enterprise.” Business imperatives are driving adoption of our OPEN and other business intelligence platforms and producing ROI within a few months of implementation.”
Key examples of OPEN’s success include a global pharmaceutical client with myriad divisions developing new medical treatments. A keyword search using the name of a particular molecule discovered a sister division working on the same type of project. This knowledge acted as a catalyst for collaboration, eliminated duplicate efforts and related costs and lead to faster time to market.
A global financial services firm typed in the name of a prospective client and identified people, both internal and external to the firm, having strongest relationships with the company. They quickly assembled the team to strategize and effectively pitch and seize on a fast changing opportunity.
In another example, a consumer product company suffered a major network outage. IT staff conducted a key word search on the subject matter and discovered employees across the globe with relevant technical expertise. The business unit applied their colleague’s solution to regain functionality and minimize production losses and impaired customer service.
Sood further states, “Eighty percent or more of important information presently flows electronically. As an example, customer and partner relationships ‘living’ in e-mail are unknown to other teams or departments who could benefit. Existing expertise systems (profiles, etc.) are static and lack ‘relevance’. Messagemind’s OPEN product mines intelligence from wherever electronic communication and collaboration occurs such as email, calendars, address books, IM (chat), SharePoint, RSS, Blogs, and other social network channels – and proactively connects people and teams”.
About Company
Messagemind Inc., a New York City based software development company, enhances individual & enterprise performance by delivering relevant intelligence on business priorities, clients, projects, products, communications, knowledge generation and more.

OPEN KNOWLEDGE MAPPING TEHCNOLOGY SHOWS PROMISE TO ELIMINATE R&D WASTE & DUPLICATION IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY |
NEW YORK, NY June 27, 2011: Messagemind, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise software that increases employee e-mail productivity and taps into knowledge networks in e-mail and other sources of unstructured text, announced today the acquisition of major clients in the consumer goods manufacturing industry in Q1, 2011.
“After internal analysis, one of our clients, who has on-the–ground operations in over 75 countries and sells their products in over 150, realized that they were duplicating their new product development efforts by as much as 30% across the company. Our client estimates that 80% of their knowledge is now stored in email and other unsearchable spaces and mediums including audio and video. Tapping into knowledge and insights in these spaces and leveraging external collaborations for new product development was identified as an important need, says Clive Fernando, Director of Sales Messagemind, Inc.
Messagemind was selected because it offered a solution to address two critical challenges: Employee email productivity and discovering knowledge networks in email. Messagemind has the expertise & extensive configurable controls to meet the needs of HR, Legal and Privacy Councils to ensure employees privacy was protected to the highest standards.
The first solution is C-MAIL, a software technology that “dynamically” learns your work priorities and sorts your email into high, medium, low and someday priority categories (within Outlook), increasing your focus and saving you time. The software is easy to use and provides built-in productivity practices. It does not change Outlook functionality. It presents additional interactive views.
Secondly, Messagemind’s OPEN platform automatically recognizes your areas of interest & expertise and connects you with others in the company who could be a potential source of collaboration, as well as help others find you. It can be integrated with SharePoint and other collaboration systems. The software does not share the contents of any email and can be configured to meet company’s privacy policies.
The system will be installed and operated from the client’s data center and the data will be completely behind company’s firewall. We are very proud of the fact that we beat out established names who claim to compete in our arena", adds Fernando.

C-MAIL’s Dynamic Prioritization™ and Workflow Brings Automation to Steven Covey’s 7- Habits |
New York City – May 19, 2011 – Messagemind, Inc., a New York City based productivity and collaboration software company announced today that C-Mail, a smart technology for Outlook® and BlackBerry® users, automates the time management aspects of Steven Covey’s 7- Habits.
Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People® is a ‘top-down’ approach to effective business and personal management which includes, managing time, focus, choices and energy. Habit 3 is about time management – putting ‘first things first’ – staying focused in the activity matrix related to urgent and important activities.
C-MAIL helps, in Covey’s own words “to keep the main thing the main thing.” Not an easy undertaking when managing email, the hub of activity which consumes half or more of the working day (and evening) for many enterprise users. And even more distracting when half or more of email received throughout the day and night is not important.
Information overload is a major problem and individual efforts aimed at cleaning mailboxes often provide a false sense of satisfaction for achieving results. C-MAIL’s organized views avoid such pitfalls by lifting the heavy load of manually prioritizing, organizing (and archiving) email making it ready for action. Today’s busy professionals need a systematic and automated approach that will manage information.
C-MAIL’s dynamic prioritization technology™ working in the background learns individual and group priorities and presents views of prioritized email in both Outlook and BlackBerry. No need to endlessly sift through unimportant email to find important email. No need to create reference folders to park email. No need to purge the inbox of old emails. No more distractions from constantly checking smart devices. Many tedious tasks and distractions related to keeping busy professionals from urgent and important activities are eliminated by utilizing C-MAIL views for action items and prioritized email. C-MAIL easily illuminates the urgent and important.
C-MAIL’s prioritization in Outlook and BlackBerry and workflow provides speed and relevance to enterprise users. In Covey’s words, “Rather than focusing on things and time, focus on preserving and enhancing relationships and on accomplishing results.”
C-MAIL is an Outlook Add-in that works with Outlook 2007 and 2010. C-MAIL adds views but does not affect the existing Inbox. Server based, the underlying technology works with but does not impact Exchange 2007 and 2010. It also works with BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES).
About Messagemind
Messagemind (www.messagemind.com) is a New York City based software company serving global enterprises and government customers to increase productivity, accelerate innovation and enhance customer service. Other products include OPEN, a server based product that maps knowledge networks in enterprises based on email, SharePoint and other enterprise communication tools. Working in the background, OPEN’s unique technology identifies experts and relationships; and AVATAR, provides a robust suite of analytics related to productivity and collaboration.

C-Mail’s Dynamic Prioritization™ Simplifies Getting Things Done® (GTD®) for Corporate Outlook and BlackBerry® Users |
Significant improvements over Google’s Priority Inbox
New York City – May 17, 2011 – Messagemind, Inc., a New York City based productivity and collaboration software company announced today, the release of C-Mail for GTD Outlook and Blackberry users.
C-MAIL does the heavy lifting for email in both Outlook® and BlackBerry by automating many aspects of the time consuming GTD process of collecting, processing, and organizing which leaves corporate users with more time for high value activities of reviewing and doing. “C-Mail takes stress out of the stress reducing GTD system, says Neerja Bhatia, Senior Productivity Coach at Messagemind, Inc.
GTD or Getting Things Done is a popular method created by David Allen for organizing one’s life. The guiding principle is to record all the things individuals need or want to do in order to increase their effectiveness, improve concentration and reduce stress. The method includes a workflow process with five components Collecting, Processing, Organizing, Reviewing and Doing.
Unfortunately, maintaining the process is not easy. In Allen’s own words, "To simplify a complex event, you need a complex system." Although committed to the process, many busy business users do not have the time or the energy to stay updated. This is especially true for managing email which is the hub of activity and can consume a majority of the working day (and evening) for many enterprise users.
C-Mail’s Dynamic Prioritization Technology working in the background learns an individual’s priorities and presents views of prioritized email in both Outlook and on BlackBerry. No need to endlessly sift through unimportant email to find important email. No need to create reference folders to park email. No need to purge the inbox of old emails. No more distractions from constantly checking devices. Many tedious tasks and distractions related to all phases of the GTD process are eliminated by utilizing C-Mail Dynamic Prioritization.
C-Mail’s organized views and embedded workflow makes it easy to take action on an email. Emails can be marked To-Do, Defer, or Complete or can be delegated and automatically displayed in a to To-Do view; making it easy to follow the GTD ‘two-minute rule’. As David Allen says, “If you determine an action can be done in two minutes, you actually should do it right then because it’ll take longer to organize it and review it than it would be to actually finish it the first time you notice it; it’s also not having to park it, look at it again and re-think it again”. C-Mail simplifies and reinforces this best practice.
C-Mail works seamlessly within Outlook 2007 and 2010 and with the latest BlackBerry models. C-MAIL adds views and does not affect the existing inbox. Server based, the underlying technology works with and does not impact Exchange 2007 and 2010 and it also works with BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES). “Gmail’s Priority Inbox is a feature that works in Gmail only. It lacks the robust levels of prioritization, workflow, mobility and enterprise capabilities resident in C-Mail, says Doug Binette, Director, Marketing & Communications, Messagemind, Inc.

Mapping Client Relationships from Email Helps Accelerate Revenue Opportunities for Financial Services Company |
New York City – May 11, 2011 – Messagemind, Inc., Messagemind announced today that it’s OPEN platform created a positive impact on productivity & agility of a sales force at a financial services company by mapping client relationships buried among its email and SharePoint data.
The financial services company selected Messagemind due to its ‘smart’ patented dynamic knowledge mapping technology, passive nature of the system that learns from natural use of email, SharePoint, CRM, LDAP and other collaboration tools and does not require user intervention. Furthermore, completeness of the business intelligence & reporting suite, extensive privacy & security controls, ability to scale and add users, and past success working with large highly regulated enterprises were significant factors.
“Our client invests millions of dollars annually on CRM-type systems and was seeking ways to have multiple divisions and teams leverage client relationships more effectively. However, these systems were dependent on end-users to learn multiple applications and perpetually update CRM and profile information on a regular basis. Senior management wanted to provide tools to encourage and facilitate collaboration and innovation and shorten the response time to new and existing business opportunities.” says Manish Sood, CEO, Messagemind, Inc.
Messagemind’s relationship mapping tool for investment bankers is helping to improve agility and response times for new client opportunities. Metrics on activity and usage strongly indicate improving trends on increasing up-selling and cross-selling opportunities, leveraging client relationships across business lines and geographies, and preserving knowledge of key people and their professional networks who are managing strategic client accounts.

C-MAIL Launches "Smart" Email Productivity Solution Designed To Help Business and Government Users Solve the Email Overload Problem and Speed Decision Making |
C-MAIL Launches "Smart” Email Productivity Solution Designed To Help Business and Government Users Solve the Email Overload Problem and Speed Decision Making
Offered as SaaS or On-Premises Solution, C-MAIL Automatically Prioritizes Messages and Provides Powerful Reporting, Workflow, and Social Network Mapping Tools
October 27, 2008 – NEW YORK CITY – C-MAIL™ Corporation (www.myc-mail.com), a provider of enterprise email productivity software, today announced the launch of its flagship solution, C-MAIL™, on-demand. Offered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or on-premise solution installed behind the corporate firewall, C-MAIL is ideal for busy professionals and organizations of any type – from large enterprises to SMBs to government agencies. C-MAIL Corp. is a unit of Business Instruments Corp., New York (www.business-instruments.com).
C-MAIL is a user-friendly, intelligent SaaS add-in to Microsoft Outlook™ that automatically and dynamically prioritizes email messages. C-MAIL’s patent-pending algorithms work in the background taking into account users’ clicking behavior, past email history, configurable company business rules, and various other optional user input. This dynamic prioritization and “smart” learning results in superior accuracy of email prioritization – and relieves the burden of endlessly sifting through email, thus saving precious time and enabling faster decision-making on important email. Easy to learn and quick to set-up, C-MAIL functions without modifying Outlook’s email rules, folders, or archiving policies.
“Most email overload solutions available today rely on static rules-based technology and are limited to individual PC software that cannot effectively keep up with or adapt to the speed of business,” said Manish Sood, CEO of C-MAIL Corp. “We developed C-MAIL’s globally scalable solution specifically targeting the email productivity & reporting needs of corporate users. C-MAIL applies a fundamentally different technology consisting of dynamic prioritization of email, intuitive learning capabilities from individuals and groups, single-click workflow, meaningful email analytics, security and privacy controls, and enterprise-grade reporting. The benefits of using the service speak to the strong value proposition.”
C-MAIL’s patent-pending technology automatically analyzes individual and company email data to map organizational social networks, providing end-users and managers alike with a better sense of communication bottlenecks, productivity benchmarks, and key performance metrics. With C-MAIL, users can gain immediate efficiencies from the start. By analyzing the solution’s robust real-time metrics and intuitive reporting, users can improve overall productivity, speed of decision-making, customer service, group collaboration, knowledge management, and efficient email data archiving.
“For many workers, the inbox becomes a cluttered and very unfocused to-do list resulting in excess time spent either determining which emails are high priority or constantly searching for actionable emails – which in turn becomes a very inefficient way to do business,” said Sood. “Recent studies have shown that one minute of interruption can cost 15 minutes of lost productivity. With nearly half of your workday spent reviewing and managing email, the majority of which are non-urgent, businesses in today’s economy need a ‘smart’ productivity solution that ensures that the workforce is clearly focused on business priorities – C-MAIL is that very solution.”

Press Release - June 5, 2007 |
NEW YORK, NY - June 2007. Business Instruments Corp. has successfully completed the first phase of beta testing a break-through intelligent email productivity technology named C-MAIL.
C-MAIL will reportedly help conserve anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes of time per day for each of the heaviest email users, particularly corporate and government personnel who typically receive 50+ emails per day.
This technology seeks to increase productivity in the workplace and office environment. Its primary market segments will include mid to senior level managers, government and military personnel, and other knowledge-based workers.
Business Instruments Corp. (BI) is a New York based company which has successfully held its niche in providing end-to-end IT consulting and solution services. Its offerings range from infrastructure solutions, security & risk management, and systems integration to software development.
The company has already filed three patents to secure its competitive advantage over the long term. "We are aware of the breakthrough potential, we envision C-MAIL to ‘complement’ and not ‘compete’ with current email products. By having a well laid out IP strategy, along with monitoring market and technology risks, we should be in a good position to launch our product in early 2008," says Manish Sood, Vice President - Corporate.
The company reports that its competitive advantage will be assured by being first in the market, ensuring the protection of all IP, and incorporating proper Beta testing and involvement of the customer throughout the development process. “In today’s world, the latest technology is no more a synonym of success.
