| • | Messaging A familiar and secure messaging area that allows mentors and mentees to have confidential conversations with each other. |
| • | Discussion Forums Provides a collaborative place for users to exchange information on specific topics, with a ‘featured blogs’ area that highlights key contributors. |
| • | Activity Logs Allows both mentors and mentees to write reports and make notes throughout the mentoring relationship, also making it easy for administrators to monitor and evaluate engagement. |
| • | Automated Alerting Create instant, daily and weekly digests to alert users of new messages, forum posts, etc. |
| • | Knowledge Base Share and publish resources, useful documents, news articles, web sites, etc, so that mentors and mentees can share best practice and learn from each other. |
| • | Security Security is highly customisable, allowing administrators to define exactly who has access to what and who is allowed to communicate with whom. |
| • | Expenses Management Streamlines the expenses process by allowing mentors to log and submit expenses on-line and for administrators to approve them electronically. |
| • | Powerful reporting of key metrics A wide range of reports and metrics that provide administrators with visibility into key areas, such as how often mentors and mentees are communicating with each other, how developed each mentoring relationship is, and how has this changed over time. |
