IT Business Edge and Go4 Web Apps Coverage

Mavenlink was featured today on IT Business Edge's list of Top 10 Google Apps for Project Management. They note how we are "an online collaboration solution that allows you to manage projects from start to finish." We strive to be the best one-stop shop for cloud computing when managing projects online. That's what motivated us to integrate with Google Apps and their cloud Document, Calendar, and Contact features.

We were also mentioned on Go4 Web Apps under Business Tools as the Single Destination to Conduct Business with Clients. They discuss how Mavenlink is "the first of its kind, on-line interactive workplace developed to run the networked economy more efficiently. Its cloud-based, advanced and agile technology allows users to privately manage every aspect of their business. Using Mavenlink, you can manage all your projects from a one place, create timelines and documentation, accept contracts and manage your resources."

We are glad to hear people are as excited our Google Apps integration and new features, such as Time Tracking, as we are. We plan on rolling out at least three key features by the end of this month that will really take Mavenlink to the top of the project managment and collaboration cloud computing world. We hope you are ready.

Get to the Top with Teamwork

Last month, Sean Ellis did an interview with Andrew Warner of Mixergy discussing marketing, startups, and entrepreneurship. As somebody who was recently turned onto Sean’s blog by Sean Craft’s post, Focus on the Love, I was listening intently. What was the one item I took from the interview more than anything else? Teamwork.

As Sean Ellis mentions in his recap of the interview, there is obviously a lot more than a “secret weapon” or “pure luck” that helps a company succeed. You can’t simply build a valuable product for your users and then stand pat.

Your product & development team must capitalize on the user’s needs for your product and listen to what they are saying to continuously enhance your product, such as with the Google Apps Integration. The marketing team must continue the momentum with customer acquisition based on what has and has not worked; they need to remain analytical instead of gut feelings and speculation. Everybody must collaborate together to get to the next level and continue doing so until you get to the top of the mountain.

Evolve. Grow. Succeed.

Riding a Bigger and Better Wave

"I got a fever and the only prescription is more Mavenlink.” - Christopher Walken

Okay, maybe that’s not exactly what Mr. Walken declared in his much loved SNL skit, but Mavenlink is the cure for the many wondering what to do after Google’s surprising announcement. Last week, Google made headlines by suspending Google Wave until at least 2011, which left people scrambling on cloud project collaboration. There’s no need to fear, Mavenlink is here!

The top features of Google Wave were: Blank Waves, Real Time Discussion, Task Tracking, and Shared Attachments. Mavenlink has all those features, but we just have slightly different names: Project Workspace, Real Time Messaging, Project Tracker, and Attach Files. As you can and will see, Mavenlink covers everything, plus much more.

Mavenlink is a real time, shared space in the cloud where people can collaborate on all types of projects or activities. Whether you are a small business owner, professor at a university, or busy scheduling charity events with your friends and family, you can efficiently manage all of those projects here. Message the whole group or specific individuals and attach files, pictures, and links and link them to specific tasks.

For all of you Google users, Mavenlink is fully integrated with Google Apps so all of your Google Contacts,Google Documents, and Google Calendar can be accessed and shared seamlessly. Also, just like in Google Wave and their Conversation Playback, you can keep track of different conversations in one place and once somebody is invited into a Workspace, they will be able to catch up on everything that has happened to date.

What are some features that Mavenlink offers that Google Wave didn’t? Glad you asked. We offerScheduling, Budget, and Payment options with PayPal integration and security preferences. We have in-depth Time Tracking and Billing that can be linked to activities in the Project Tracker. On top of that, the messages and attachments you link to each activities in the Project Tracker can be managed by our simple Filter function.

We continue to make improvements to Mavenlink everyday. With invoices, expense tracking, and private label about to be released, we are working hard to make your life easier and accelerate your productivity in our secure project collaboration cloud tool.

Come join us now! You won’t have to worry about this wave crashing. We are here to ride the whole thing out with you.
