PALO ALTO, Calif. – Aug. 7, 2012 – Teambox, the cloud-based
company redefining
collaboration and business communications, today announced the release of Teambox 4. This
new platform aggregates best-of-breed tools, such as Box, Dropbox, Google Docs and Gmail, to help
companies better manage tasks, communicate across teams and share files, all from
a single location. Teambox combines single point collaboration, communication
and business applications into one easy-to-use platform, enabling organizations
of any size to get more done, faster and with better accuracy.
Changing
business needs and social factors are driving organizations to work
differently. As a result, this new reality has left small- to medium-sized
businesses, though large enterprise organizations, struggling to pay for and
maintain heavyweight enterprise solutions and disparate collaboration point
solutions. Teambox 4 is a unique collaboration platform addressing this new
landscape. It is enabling organizations to integrate file-sharing services and Web-based
applications, including Salesforce.com and Evernote, and customize business applications with tools,
such as chat, tasks and project management. With the addition of these
full-featured capabilities, Teambox 4 is the industry’s only collaboration “dashboard”
transforming business communication.
File Sharing Integration
Teams worldwide
already use file management applications to share, discuss and iterate all
types of stored files. Teambox is the first vendor to bring collaboration to
millions of Box, Dropbox and Google Docs customers by providing chat,
discussions and notes in a single, easy-to-use platform.
Additionally,
Teambox has created a Gmail plug-in for Google
Chrome. This new
plug-in enables end users to run Teambox inside of Gmail to view activity and
add tasks, all within the comfort of a user’s inbox.
Teambox 4 New Features
• Teambox Notes – Similar to Evernote, but designed for large teams, Teambox
Notes delivers a drag-and-drop interface that can be used to take notes,
instantly collaborate, get aligned and share information, without the clutter
or overhead of email.
• Customized Application Integration – Teambox 4 is built with an
internal API, enabling
users to import any Web-based application into Teambox. With this new feature,
Teambox now offers a single, cohesive platform for any company to run their
entire business. Many customers have integrated Salesforce.com, GotoMeeting and other key software-as-a-service (SaaS)
applications into Teambox for a single “business dashboard”.
• Integrated
Group Chat – This key
feature allows end users to quickly
create conversations between teams to assign tasks and due dates to projects
enabling real-time collaboration.
• Enhanced
User Experience – Teambox
4 includes several enhancements, including a new UI, redesigned infrastructure
and an updated tasks section to increase the overall user experience.
Comments on the News
“There has been
a huge paradigm shift in our industry; our customers were fed up with the
massive, lengthy implementations required by Sharepoint and other antiquated
solutions. With the “consumerization of IT”, business users are selecting and
rapidly adopting their own collaboration software,” said Dan Schoenbaum, CEO of
Teambox. “We are proud to bring our customers the industry’s first team
collaboration platform that integrates tools, such as Dropbox, Box, Google Docs
and Gmail, all centralized into one solution. Teambox helps businesses get started
in seconds and get work done faster and easier, while saving our customers time
and money.”
“We evaluated over 20 business
collaboration tools, including SharePoint, Huddle, Asana and Basecamp, and
found Teambox to be the most intuitive and comprehensive platform available,”
stated Jason Gombos, Sharepoint Administrator for Kelly Services. “Teambox goes beyond a ‘tool,’ bringing together all of the
business applications we need in one centralized location. With Teambox, we get
more done and with better accuracy and efficiency.”
“Teambox is a phenomenal collaboration
platform,” stated Doug Monohan, CEO of Mobilezapp.
“It combines the power of email, chat and telephone into one easy-to-use online
solution. Quite frankly, I do not know how we’d run our business without
Teambox.”
“We tried Asana and other
collaboration tools, but those products could not bring together the
information we needed to work better and smarter,” stated Rachel Valosik,
director of eCommerce for Griffin
Technology. “Teambox provides a much
broader set of collaboration applications making collaboration, file management
and team discussions very easy for our team. And unlike other offerings, it is
so easy to use.”

4 is available now. There is no
