====They set out to create an new kind of mind mapping application, one that leverages the benefits of visual thinking and combines them with the new "SaaS" delivery paradigm (SaaS stands for Software as a Service). Once your productivity application is in the cloud you are not bound anymore to your desktop computer, you can support real-time collaboration and be open to other web services. MeisterLabs' vision is to capitalize on the power of visual thinking and cloud computing to support creativity and innovation across businesses and academic organizations.==== ====MeisterLabs is incorporated in Munich, Germany with offices in Vienna, Austria and a development center in Cluj, Romania.
