SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2008) -
Daptiv,
the on-demand leader in
collaborative
business software, today announced the availability of the SMB version
of its
SaaS-based Daptiv PPM work management solution. The new offering
enables an even greater range of businesses to quickly and easily get
started managing daily and project-based work, transforming their
mid-office operations across departments ranging from new product
development and marketing to human resources and finance and IT. The Daptiv
SMB solution is specifically designed to meet the needs of the SMB market;
with roots in project management and Web 2.0 technology, Daptiv SMB
provides a powerful, scalable solution that combines enterprise rigor and
control with the accessibility and flexibility required by small-to-medium
businesses.
"The solution's robust feature set, combined with nearly instantaneous
implementation, made the decision to implement Daptiv SMB a snap," said Abe
McCallum, the CEO of Clikthrough, a technology company based in San
Francisco. "The solution is both powerful and easy to use, so it's
perfectly suited for involving a range of users -- including executives,
staff and outside stakeholders -- who tap in to the system to collaborate.
We use it to plan, prioritize and manage all of the work we do across our
entire business, from planning our marketing strategy to tracking product
development tasks. Furthermore, the Daptiv SMB solution's scalability is
crucial to our needs, making it easy to add users and advanced
functionality as we grow."
Daptiv SMB solution is tailored to meet the unique needs of the SMB market,
featuring an intuitive six-tab interface and a resource library of best
practice tips and reference articles. Already an industry-leader for speedy
implementations, Daptiv's SMB product boasts the fastest time-to-value yet,
with customers utilizing the solution to gain meaningful insight into work
within days of signing. Without overwhelming users with unnecessary
functionality, the solution is robust enough to handle the entirety of SMB
operations -- making it the single, central repository for all business
information to foster collaboration, ensure maximum efficiency and business
continuity.
"We estimate that Daptiv will save us at least $15,000 in the first year
alone, in avoided hardware and IT staff costs," added McCallum. "The Daptiv
SMB solution saves an average of 1-2 hours per week per employee with
respect to efficiency, which is significant to a small business looking to
optimize the efforts of its staff. It is also key to maintaining our
business continuity; if we lost or added anyone today, the company would be
able to keep running because all of our information is in a central,
easy-to-access place."

we took the strength of the Daptiv platform and streamlined it to meet the
specific needs of the small-to-medium business. As a result, the enormous
transformative power of Daptiv is available to a wider audience than ever
before. This is part of our ongoing mission to fundamentally change the way
that organizations manage and capitalize on work throughout the mid-office,
helping them to get work done better, faster and smarter."
