Getting Things Done

Exciting Changes… New version with simplifying pricing!

January 23 2012 - Teambox, Teambox4 - Write Comment

Thank you all for your strong support for Teambox. We have grown to over 160,000 users worldwide in a very short period of time. Teambox4 will formally launch on January 25th, but if you’re excited to get started right away, you can by visiting http://beta.teambox.com.

We’ve simplified pricing so that we license and charge by the user, and not by the project. This will make it easier for you to use Teambox as much you want, and not be constrained by licensing plans. New customers will pay a flat $5 per user each month, you’ll be able to use Teambox for as many projects as you like. The prices will be discounted for larger organizations with many users and for multi-year contracts. As a way of saying thank you to all of our dedicated, cutting-edge early adopters who are current customers (Users who upgrade for Teambox before January 18th- old pricing model), your current pricing plan will not change, and will remain in effect, as long as you are a customer.

Finding the right headline for Teambox

December 31 2011 - Startups, Teambox - 3 Comments

For the last two months we’ve been rather a quite long test with our users. We wanted to learn how to express what Teambox is about more clearly.

Our headline is the first contact most users have with Teambox, so we decided to start with that. This is the original headline before the experiment:

The purpose is to explain what the product allows you to do, and then a tagline to support that message.

Which two sentences would explain our message more clearly for first-time users? The best way to figure out is by testing our intuitions.

Testing methodology

We measure how people visit the signup page and how they become registered users. We displayed four total combinations of two variants to users:

2012: 12 New Year’s Resolutions to Improve your Company’s Productivity

December 30 2011 - Collaboration, Productivity, Social Enterprise, Teambox - Write Comment

1. Start with yourself. Before trying to improve the productivity of your organization, you should start with yourself by applying different tips of personal productivity.

2. Centralize all the information. Probably, one of the main distractions of your employees is the continuous change of tool to handle information, to communicate, etc. Try to have all of these systems in just one place and you will have defeated a real obstacle for the productivity of your team.

Happy 2012

3. Forget the e-mail. Forget about this prehistoric internal communication system. It just gets your employees to waste hours and hours checking their inbox and finding attachments. This is certainly the best tip ever to improve personal productivity.

4. Share the goals with your team. There is no better way to motivate the members of your team than communicating them the company goals. If you engage them with the company goals, you will have them all working towards the same direction.

Boost your company’s internal communication

December 22 2011 - Collaboration, Productivity, Teambox - 1 Comment

For all companies (no matter their size), a smooth and transparent communication between team members is fundamental to achieve goals. It is very common to see company’s executives manage communication privately between them, forgetting their employees and without considering the importance and the potential of an all-team integrationfor problem resolution and for getting involved in corporate targets.

Team people

Today, thanks to social tools and new technologies, you can manage the company’s public information in an easy and simple way. Your corporate image is at stake, so a good and interactive communication between consumers and team members is absolutely necessary.

Are you in the same Cloud?

November 10 2011 - Cloud, Collaboration, Teambox - Write Comment

How many times have you heard “We are in the Cloud!” from a CIO? Nowadays many companies have moved to the cloud due to its amazing advantages while keeping costs down: immediate deployment, no implementation cost, no maintenance, availability from anywhere and anytime, etc. But which Cloud?
Cloud Most companies started their cloud experience using a CRM (Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc.). Then they started creating Google Docs with their colleagues. And now who doesn’t have a Dropbox or Box.net account for file-sharing and an Evernote user for reminders? Although the most advanced cloud fans are also using a business collaboration tool such as Teambox.

 

Now suddenly those companies are realizing that their information is in fact in different clouds and that data is as spread as it was before the cloud. It really looks more like mist than like a single cloud.
