business solution question?

Question

I'm looking to solve the problem of ineffecient company meetings through using software which will enable employees of my company to login to a secure site/server and submit questions that everyone else at in the company (who has a workstation) will have access to read and respond to? This "Yahoo - Ask" site is where I got the idea from, but I imagine that someone out there has developed a rendition of software specifically suited toward a corporate business environment with bells and whistles that I haven't yet imagined.
My question is "is anyone out there aware of a software that fits the above bill?"
OR
If you don't know of specific software, do you have a good direction to point me towards to find someone who may know?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Really, all you are talking about is a restricted electronic bulletin board. You can restrict access to password holders only and even have different areas of access for specific users. You can even have "forums" or "rooms" restricted to particular departments. One user can have multiple accesses and you can restrict some employees to "read only". This is widely available for installation on a website or we could host the installation for you. We already have a similar version running for our local Chamber of Commerce. Contact us if we can help you set this up.

The alternative would be to incorporate something like the .net concepts but for a limited use it would most likely be costly.
