Clarizen Introduces New Features for Work Collaboration, Continues Its Product Innovation in Turning Every Company Into a Live High-Performance Organization

SAN MATEO, CA–(Marketwired – Feb 26, 2014) – Clarizen, the leader in enterprise work collaboration software, today announced the latest enhancements and customer-requested features to its award-winning Clarizen v6 cloud-based platform. New additions for resource management, user experience and communication — both inside and outside the enterprise — are designed to turn organizations into high-performance, real-time operations. With Clarizen, customers have an easy-to-use collaboration and project management solution that connects unstructured conversations with structured work.

“By being attuned with customer feedback, we ensure that Clarizen is intuitive for all to use and truly delivers on our work graph™ concept of connecting social context, tasks and projects on a single cloud-based platform, so collaboration drives results,” said Clarizen CEO, Avinoam Nowogrodski. “As a result of our rapid pace of innovation, we’re excited to deliver the most configurable solution for getting work done.”

New features include:

• Enhanced resource management: Expanding on its popular drag-and-drop functionality, Clarizen now allows users to instantly add a resource to a task, or replace the resource on a task directly from the resource management screen. Users can immediately see if a resource will become overloaded with the new assignment and undo changes if needed.
• Customizable, branded user interface: For the first time, companies can use their own corporate branding on the Clarizen interface, including images, fonts and colors. On an individual level, users can drag and drop work items to reorder them in their work plan and create dependencies. Other new interface features allow users to eliminate any irrelevant information in any view by minimizing panels.
• Expanded external communication: To streamline communication with customers and other stakeholders who aren’t necessarily Clarizen users, companies can now share virtually any Clarizen view as a widget or email link. They can also edit views to select specific information to be shared with external parties.
• New internal notifications: For immediate communication of important new policies and procedural changes, Clarizen now allows administrators to set pop-up notifications to inform users as soon as they log into the system, or whenever needed.

The Work Graph™
The way most companies work is broken. First we build work groups, and then we engage in conversations, which may become actions and, ideally, these actions become deliverables. Each of these typically live in disconnected “islands” of activity, managed by different systems. Clarizen is different in that it connects these islands into a “work graph” that is organically created through the act of getting work done. The work graph enables collaboration that drives results, turning every organization into a high-performance, real-time operation.
