Sometimes you just need closure

Since we started in December it's been an interesting time. We have had a lot of inspiring ideas, good feedback, both positive and negative and some good times time solving problems and explaining how to do things in Projectplace. Thanks to all of you who have contributed by giving feedback, commenting, voting or maybe just reading.

One of the things that upset a lot of people in the December release was the removal of the ”Send me a copy” when you send documents via e-mail from Projectplace. We have had 3 threads, with quite a few votes, where people have wanted to get this feature reintroduced and we have listened. The checkbox was reintroduced last week. And I was happy to close the following threads:

PROJECTPLACE LAUNCHES IPHONE APPLICATION

Projectplace launces an iPhone version of their Project Management tool. The application is free to install and use and gives you access to documents, contacts and 500 MB storage space. The launch is part of Projectplace's strategy to provide a collaboration platform in the cloud for their users. The application will be developed according to user feedback.
Now, Projectplace users can search for and read documents, access meetings, issues and project milestones in their iPhone. Via a dynamic contact list you can call, text message or e-mail your project group. You can even use the GPS function to locate your colleagues.

- It is primarily the social functions from Projectplace that we have made available easily via an iPhone. The selection was made with people on the go in mind, people who need to get hold of a colleague, send a message or read up on a document before a meeting, says Peter Strömberg, resposible for Projectplace Labs. 

The application is released in English only and will be available for users on all of Projectplace's markets. User feedback will guide the future development of the application. 

- Our strategic goal is to create a collaboration platform for our users in the cloud, explains Pelle Hjortblad, CEO of Projectplace. Projectplace Labs, a development platform where our users can share the latest product information and test new applications and functions, was launched already during Autumn 2008. We also have a user forum, Projectplace Ideas, where you can suggest new or changed functionality in our service, like the iPhone application.

The iPhone application is free of charge for all Projectplace users, even for users of Free – the free version of Projectplace - and is the first application where users get access to half a GB of free storage space. To install the application, search for Projectplace in the application store or go to www.projectplacelabs.com.

iPhone, Lynx and more things that make me happy

When it rains, it pours:) The Projectplace iPhone App is finally approved and available for download from the app store. Download is free and available via iTunes or just by searching for Projectplace straight from your iPhone. Great news for Projectplace users and I know that a lot of you have been waiting for this opportunity.
Visit Projectplace Labs for more information.

We have also got a few people who have told us that they like the concept of Lynx. This makes me happy of course. I know that a lot of people contact us with big and complex project plans that they find cumbersome to update in Projectplace. My advice to you is; Try our Lynx and if you like it please tell us so in the Lynx category on Projectplace Ideas. Don't forget to vote for Lynx integration if you would like it.

Last months special thanks goes to Joachim Schirra, both for his many contributions on other people's ideas and for his own. Thanks Joachim! I hope you feel appreciated.

Until next time, stay well and good luck with your projects. What can we do to make you successful? Tell us at Projectplace Ideas and don't forget to read, comment and vote on other people's ideas.
