Product Description
While consumers embrace social tools, business users are stuck with stale technology. Hashwork is a social tool for work -- think Twitter, designed for work. Your Hashwork feed lets you post work-related status updates -- internally just to coworkers, or externally to customers and others. If you're a Twitter user, Hashwork rolls up your #work tweets. Hashwork is an easy way to stay connected with coworkers, and engage with customers, partners and the public.
Market Opportunity
In April 2009, Wainhouse Research predicted the market for internally- and externally-facing enterprise social networking (ESN) will exceed $2 billion by 2012, averaging over 40% growth per year. Of 300 businesses surveyed by Wainhouse, over 90% said they plan to deploy both internally- and externally-facing ESN applications.
DEMO Says
The theme of enterprise collaboration is prevalent at DEMOfall and Hashwork provides a super-simple, incredibly useful environment to get all your employees on the same page -- literally. While there are other "internal twitter" apps out there, we like Hashwork's philosophy of bringing outside services in. With the ability to integrate Google Calendar and Twitter, as well as file editing and management, Hashwork provides a one-stop shop for employees to check in throughout the day. In fact, it's already become a part of our daily work environment in the DEMO screening team.
