Review
Elevator Pitch | Simple clean transactional / collaboration tool with good standard functionality, based around service desk and back office support functions. |
Industry areas | Nice approach on pitch around HR/Finance and IT service model.
Looks easy to use, simple to develop with standard functions. |
Unique points | No ‘sales team’ – sold via web.
Primarily for SMB and mid size. Enterprise sold via partners (‘experts’) – do have some good Enterprise clients – Twitter, Citi. |
Target market | SMB, SME or teams within large organisations. |
Solutions/ issues solved | Looks like product that can get support and self service up and running quickly for small organisations and discrete teams in larger organisations. |
Product/vendor gaps | End user configuration and access is limited – i.e. to using a specific Service Desk. So no user-based filed level security and e.g. dashboard views. |
