SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - November 17, 2008) -
Daptiv,
the on-demand leader in
collaborative
business software, today announced the launch of its Winter '09
edition, representing the most significant seasonal update to its core
Daptiv PPM solution since the introduction of
Work Intelligence in late 2007. The
Winter '09 update supports Daptiv's expanding international and
multi-national customer base with a globalized and localized user
interface, support for multiple languages, browsers and platforms in
addition to improvements of core features.
With more than 20 percent of customers headquartered outside of the U.S.,
Daptiv has focused on making its solution more accessible and customizable
to fit the needs of international and multi-national organizations. With
the launch of Daptiv PPM Winter '09, users have a choice of French, German
or Spanish in addition to English -- perfect for global teams,
multi-national enterprise rollouts and individuals with a different native
language than their team members. Using individual language and culture
settings, team members experience the software in their language, while
collaborating with other members of the enterprise. Interface settings can
be customized to the needs of individual team members, departments or an
entire organization.
Besides support for three new languages, Daptiv PPM Winter '09 also
provides new browser and platform alternatives for users. Daptiv PPM now
supports Firefox 3.0 in addition to Internet Explorer, opening up another
browser choice for individuals and enterprises.
"Mac users in our customer organizations are thrilled with the speed and
experience of Daptiv PPM on Firefox," said Eric Bergman, director of
products at Daptiv. "Winter '09 gives Daptiv customers more options for
using Daptiv the way they want to use it, from the organizational level
down to the preference of each individual user."
Daptiv Winter '09 also includes an array of enhancements dedicated to
different job roles, from managers to administrators and team members. Many
updates came directly from customer ideas planted in the
Daptiv Greenhouse, the idea management
system that lets Daptiv customers
collaborate and vote for innovative new features to improve the
Daptiv solution.
"Daptiv's beta program reinforces the reasons we decided to work with them
as a vendor," said Tom Flynn, Senior Project Portfolio Analyst for
Corporate Express. "They are eager to have their customers participate, and
they respond. Many of the new features in this release are a direct result
of our participation in the Daptiv Greenhouse, and it's great to see that
they listen and act on our input on the development process."
"Providing our customers with an easy-to-use yet powerful collaboration and
work management solution is Daptiv's primary goal," said Jeff Panconttine,
CEO of Daptiv. "The Winter '09 edition significantly improves
organizations' ability to collaborate and connect organizational objectives
with day-to-day work in the way that makes the most sense to them. As we
continue to expand globally, we want to ensure our platform matches the
flexibility that our customers need."
Daptiv is dedicated to providing focus and insight into difficult-to-track
mid-office initiatives and processes across departments, from marketing and
HR to IT and finance. This is achieved through Daptiv PPM, an on-demand
collaborative business platform that provides a strategic system of record
and delivers an easy way of planning, executing, tracking and reporting on
work in the enterprise. Daptiv's Work IntelligenceTM gives managers and
executives complete visibility into the project pipeline, portfolio
information, and day-to-day work activities through drill-down reporting,
drag-and-drop dashboard creation and data visualization. Work Intelligence
helps organizations to align work with strategic priorities, make better
decisions and execute for superior business results. Since its release last
year, Daptiv PPM has earned numerous accolades for its ease-of-use,
flexibility and
quick
time-to-value.
