I think Coventi, at a “base” level is similar to a wiki or Google Docs. People can edit pages, people can build an archive of knowledge etc.

But the key differentiator for me at least, is the focus on “commentary” and “suggested edits.” In my role as a Program Manager, my job is to build consensus around an idea. That means we discuss and talk about issues. Coventi makes that easy to do.

Most wikis and collaboration software relegate “discussion” as a side feature. Coventi, on the other hand, has made discussion of content the main draw. I also think that you’re spot on about everyone “Editing” a page. At least in business contexts, “ownership” is a key concept. While everyone could edit a page with Coventi, the focus on commentary and suggested edits is a more natural way for groups to operate. From my experience, my manager wouldn’t edit my page. We’d talk about what is good and what is bad, but I have to go and fix it.

For me, the ability to collect comments and to get rid of the need to use Track Changes is huge.
