Product Description
Prolify is the first solution that gives continuous visibility into the actual work being done by an individual, team or enterprise. Prolify captures, manages and documents the 75% of work activities performed regardless of origination from communication tools (like Outlook and Blackberry), desktop applications (like MS Project) or enterprise applications (like SAP). Prolify maps ad hoc workflow, allows direct communication, provides analytics that identify best practices and acts as an audit trail for compliance purposes.
Market Opportunity
According to IDC’s Worldwide Collaboration forecast from March 2007, worldwide collaborative applications revenue will reach $7.6 billion in 2011. Demand is driven by a trend towards creating Information Workspace platforms where, according to Forrester Research’s Collaboration Trends 2006 and 2007 Reports, a convergence of content, collaboration, portal and office productivity needs to support diverse work activities.
DEMO Says
Team collaboration has been a white-hot market this past year and will continue to be until true transparency and seamless workflow are achieved. Prolify takes a smart approach to the problem by asking users to change none of their existing behaviors. Its software sits on top of Outlook and funnels all discussion and activity through email, allowing teams to communicate and coordinate in the application they already use most frequently. Capturing and managing the dynamic interaction that occurs naturally within teams, entirely in the original email container, even allowing access to third-party enterprise applications in the same containers—perhaps someone has finally figured this out.
