New features available today on the Inflect preview release

Today, we are excited to launch a series of new features that make it easier than ever for you to find the right internet infrastructure services.

Collaborate with your team

Inflect Teams help you and your colleagues stay on the same page throughout the infrastructure procurement process.

When you first sign in to Inflect, you’ll be asked to create a team. On Inflect, all of your projects, information requests, existing infrastructure, and documents are nested under your team.

You can invite team members and assign different permission levels as needed: admin, collaborator, or viewer.

We’ve also added notifications to help keep everyone in the loop when Team members contribute to projects, or when providers respond to your requests (more about that below!).

Map your infrastructure

Many of our users aren’t new to buying and managing infrastructure. This new version of Inflect enables you to view your public-facing network infrastructure on a map, so you can figure out the best way to connect with another provider, or make strategic decisions about your next points of presence.

As part of your first log-in experience, you’ll be asked for your company name. This field links directly to our database of thousands of service providers. If you see your company, select it from the list and that’s it!

Note that these points of presence are based on the information we have gathered and verified. If your data isn’t appearing properly or items are missing, email us at data@inflect.com to get them added!

Over the next few months, we’ll be adding the ability to verify company ownership to empower you to change the way your data appears to other Inflect users.

Connect with service providers

Found the perfect place for your new gear to call “home?” Click on “Request information” on the data center page and easily submit a detailed information request to the provider. Your requests it will appear in your team’s ‘Requests’ tab.

Any activity on the request will appear in your Notifications Panel, making it easy to stay on top of responses from providers as well as your team members.

Keep track of important documents

Inflect now supports documents! Keep track of your MSAs, NDAs, LOAs, Service orders and other documents in your team’s Documents tab.

Documentation received from providers your are engaging with on Inflect will also be saved to your team documents — so you can have everything in one place!

We’ll be announcing tons of exciting document-related features over the next few months, such as bill and renewal deadline reminders, so stay tuned!

So what’s next?

Please don’t hesitate to share your feedback with us at hello@inflect.com. We’re building Inflect for you and we can’t wait to hear what you think!
