Content Management Systems (CMS): First fully-hosted CMS. Until now, the two best options for content management on the web were self-hosted open source products like Drupal or Joomla or expensive full-service proprietary systems. The TrUnity Platform meets the typical requirements for 90% of this market for no more than the cost of inexpensive web hosting ($8.00/month).

Basic Website Hosting: As a website builder, the TrUnity solution eliminates the need for the ‘web guy’ and commercial hosting. At least 100 million basic HTML websites are costing users $10-$50/month. The technical requirements for updating a website on a commercial hosting service (FTP access) has resulted in an epidemic of expensive but stale, out-of-date websites. The TrUnity solution represents a wholesale paradigm shift in a market that has not changed significantly in ten years.

Institutional Repository/Digital Archive: The TrUnity platform meets the international standard for digital archiving and it is the first fully hosted one. The reason so few museums, libraries, and Universities have not implemented web-based digital archives is because of the tremendous technical administrative and management costs of each installation.

White-label Social Publishing: Each TrUnity community web site is in effect, its own social network. But with professional standards content management capabilities and cross platform content sharing and collaboration between communities.

Amnesty is a classic example of a decentralized horizontal network of regional, local and project offices represented by a hodgepodge of websites. 

This platform solves three big problems; inconsistency of user interface, unwieldy centralized website management and lack of resources to build a coherent content management and publishing system.

Amnesty estimates over 700,000 people belong Amnesty groups on commercial social networks - a rich demographic they can finally capture and engage in their own, branded neighborhood'.
