"It keeps me up-to-date on what everyone is doing. It has created this incredible idea generation so we can collaborate without people needing to get together or have a meeting. I sometimes wonder what we would do without FMYI. I have developed a comfort level of outsourcing this fundamentally important aspect of our business."
– Jim Allyn, CEO of LitLife

"From implementing Multnomah County sustainability policies within departments, to building an Environmental Caucus, FMYI helps our team to get organized and me, the organizer, stay focused. FMYI’s customer service is speedy and friendly. Whenever I have a question about how to manage my pages more effectively, they respond to my email within 24 hours. With FMYI, there’s less need for printing documents and for traveling to meetings. I appreciate these aspects of FMYI."
– Molly Chidsey, former Program Development Specialist, Multnomah County Sustainability Program (now Sustainability Coordinator with Metro)

"Skylab uses FMYI to manage the flow of project information between our selves, our consultants, and our clients. The format allows us to tailor the delivery of information, in terms of content and timing, to the intended recipient. We use project specific online workspaces to share documents, and disseminate time sensitive information. Email is typologically different from the online workspace. Using FMYI, users can control when how and where information is shared, and a continuous record of all these interactions is available for anyone with privileges to review. Our attitude towards energy efficiency / sustainable practice is that is should be a baseline requirement for any business. FMYI does a great job in this respect."
– Daniel Meyers Skylab Architecture

"Gets rid of a lot of email. Right now that means that we use it for central communication, current archives, project tracking, project listings, agendas and minutes (golly we love that search label thing!). Collaborating is hard work. It requires skill, dedication, and time. When you realize that too much time is being spent on cross communications instead of clear communications, too much effort is spent on missing internal documents, and too many opportunities are passing by because volunteers have no point of coordination and volunteer coordinators are at their wit's end, you start looking for a solution. For the Vancouver Food Cooperative, that solution has been FMYI. Now, there is a simple and flexible way to sort out teams of people from one large group and ways to coordinate projects, tasks, and reporting. Projects can be set up so that communications and important documents don't get lost and, even better, can be easily found! Administration functions are easy to use and quite powerful. Everyone has been saying that they love communicating through FMYI. We have less interruption of personal email boxes, easier access to important information and contact details, and flexibility in the way permissions, content, and documents are handled. Now we can get back to starting our community owned and operated grocery store!"
– Heather Lehman, Vancouver Food Coop

"Our Navajo based non-profit is using FMYI as an organizational tool for tracking internal task completion and maintaining a consolidated unified communications network. FMYI's customer service has been extremely cordial, effective and comprehensive. Staff took the time to work with our Navajo staff and give them thorough grounding in the FMYI system. FMYI has given our non-profit a firm base for maintaining the history of our communications and making them accessible. FMYI is organic and effective in its social network design. The various elements within our project site are easy to use and extremely effective. Having a comprehensive service which can seamlessly address our needs is extremely valuable."
– Dr. Kyril Calsoyas, CEO Developing Innovations in Navajo Education, Inc.

"The cool thing is that you can access it from anywhere. Whereas, if you are using a network - you usually have to be on a network computer to access the files. This is really helpful when I am working from home. I know I will have all the documents I need because it is stored on the net."
– Tanya Barham, Recess Wellness

"Very user friendly interface, fast learning curve."
–Heidi Rahn, Recycle at Work

"In the non-profit environment, FMYI is fantastic for facilitating work with a board of directors or trustees - It's also a fantastic resource for upstarts or organizations that are in the process of building their capacity. As a recent graduate of the Community Development program at PSU I would also recommend FMYI to student project teams as they tend to do a great deal of collaborative community projects."

"I use FMYI all the time when I have to email files that are too big for our server to handle, and it works perfectly all the time. It saves me from having to breakdown files into smaller parts, which is not really how I would like to spend my time!"
– Jackie Mondi, Nike
