Intranets or communities that want a fully FOSS stack, and do not want to or can't rely on external services.

Distributed SME

• Small and medium enterprises including co-ops and nonprofit organization
• Typically with at least one physical office
• 10-100 employees *If an organization has less than 10 employees, it may not be necessary to have the complete Suite with LDAP and all. It can be simpler to just use Tiki and e-mail accounts from typical shared hosting. When the organization grows and needs increase, it's easy to migrate from "Just Tiki" to the complete Tiki Suite.
  • Good proportion of knowledge workers
  • Typically with some Homesourcing
  • Not just full-time staff but freelancers & partners need access to the information system.
  • Diverse clients (Windows/MacOS/Linux/Tablets/Mobile)
  • In a service/knowledge industry but not manufacturing
    • OK to have a web shopping cart and inventory

This represents millions & millions of organizations.

Web agency

A web agency uses Tiki to deploy various Web projects for its customers. An example of this is CGCOM.

Tiki along with shared hosting does a great job of this out-of-the-box. However, if the web agency wanted to manage the hosting including e-mail with FOSS, this will be covered in a second phase of Tiki Suite.

What is the difference?

SMEs are using Tiki as part of their operations while Web agencies are using Tiki as part of their services. Of course a web agency is also an SME and could also use Tiki for its operations.

Coaching communities

Using interactive features, along with billing and accounting will make the suite very suitable to support coaching activities and education communities.

Other use cases

As we go, we'll perhaps add more. Please see: Tiki Suite Specialized components
