Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM)

As the title indicates, teams are a great productivity multiplier. You’ve probably heard this at some point in your business career. We firmly believe in teams at Soonr and spent a lot of time updating the new version of Soonr to make it easier to work with teams. In fact, the “TEAM” tab has appeared as a top level item in the Soonr UI. Click on this tab and you will see pictures of all your team members. You’ll also see them whenever it makes sense as you interact with them. It’s nice to put a face to the people you interact with as it makes the interaction more personal.

The Team tab shows all your fellow co-workers or collaborators.

You can quickly see your relationship to a user by clicking on their picture. In the example below, I click on Peter to see what we are working on together.

Clicking on an individual shows the unique activities they have been working on with you.

There are tabs for the Projects that we have shared with each other. In the “Latest Activity” tab I can see the most recent things that Peter has done. Also since I am the administrator for my team, I have a “Computer” tab so that I can monitor the backup status of Peter’s computers. Never has it been easier to understand your interactions with the people you work with.

The team also takes front and center when you are working on a project together. When you go to into a Project and click on the “recipients” button to see who has received invitations to collaborate on this project, a hierarchical list of team members will appear.

Inside a Project clicking on the recipients shows the individuals who are working on this project with you.

The top of the list includes the project owner as well as the administrators. The rest of the team members are below. Once again the focus is on the team you are collaborating with.

Finally, when team members leave you a comment or change a project, the desktop agent will pop up a message that now includes a photo of the team member. Even when members are half a world apart, we want them to feel as part of the team working to achieve more!

Sharing Files using an SMS Link

We all use documents at work. Maybe it’s a fact sheet, press release, product plan, or contract. Often times you need to get feedback from someone to complete a task and move the process along. What if that someone was not near a computer? How can you get them to review your document when they are mobile?

Soonr offers the ability to send an SMS to any phone in order to share a document. Now, sending an SMS is easy, but being able to actually see the document is challenging. What kind of phone does the person have? Will the phone be able to display the document type that I am sending? How would they give me feedback when I am also not by my desk? In these situations, the power of the cloud becomes a lifesaver.

Soonr knows how to adapt over 40 document types to 817 different mobile devices. So if you are using your iPhone to send a Visio diagram on your Macbook to a person using a Nokia E71, it’s not a problem! Just use Soonr’s Share feature, provide a phone number, and the cloud will handle the rest.

The recipient of the share will get an SMS link they can click on to see a custom version of the document for their type of phone. Soonr will recognize the phone type and serve up the proper resolution, color, depth, and format to best display on the phone.

We call this feature “Share on the Spot”. Phone to phone SMS sharing is something that no other service offers. Aren’t you glad you have Soonr?
