Bitrix Releases Mobile Intranet Portal for Small Businesses
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) October 15, 2013 -- Bitrix, Inc. has announced the release of a mobile intranet portal solution for small businesses. The mobile portal is free for up to 12 users and works on iOS and Android devices.
"A large portion of workforce is now mobile. The BYOD crowd wants full access to their company intranet and collaboration tools from their mobile devices," said Dmitry Valyanov, President of Bitrix, Inc. "Last year, it became clear that people wanted an app that would function as a fully functional mobile intranet portal and does not require access to PC. It took us a year and a half of continuous work and improvements, but we finally did it and we did it right. Bitrix24 is currently the fourth most popular mobile intranet solution, only behind billion dollar companies like Yammer, Salesforce and Citrix, according to GooglePlay statistics."
Bitrix24 (http://www.bitrix24.com) is a new generation of mobile intranet portal known as enterprise social network. It combines the looks and mechanics of social networking, such as liking and following, which increases employee engagement, with traditional intranet portal features, such as searchable company employee directory, activity stream, tasks, calendars, file sharing, workgroups, instant messaging, group chat and even CRM.
"Mobile intranet is becoming increasingly important to many companies, large and small. Studies show that most mobile messages are viewed within 4 minutes, where as with e-mails it's up to 48 hours. Mobile means fast, and time is money. That's also the reason we packed a fully functional mobile CRM inside our intranet portal, because people want to be able to add new contacts or edit data in their CRM right on the spot," added Mr. Valyanov.
Bitrix24 uses push notifications to alert intranet users when they receive a new message. Tasks and calendar events can be accessed and created directly from the Bitrix24 app, while file access allows viewing personal or shared documents stored on the company intranet. Importantly, in addition to being available as a cloud service, Bitrix24 mobile intranet can be hosted on a company server for added security.
"Most businesses suffer from 'app-fatigue.' People may be using Dropbox for file sharing, Google Calendars for shared calendars, WhatsApp for group messages, Outlook for contact management and RememberTheMilk as their to-do list. Not only do these apps not 'talk' to each other, some iOS apps aren't available for Android and vice versa. The Bitrix24 intranet portal is essentially an one-stop solution with all communication and collaboration tools that typical business uses equally efficiently inside the office and out. It's your office outside your office."
The Bitrix24 mobile intranet portal is available as a freemium cloud service ($99 and $199 monthly plans allow unlimited users) or as server hosted software (starting at $2299 for a lifetime license).
The iOS version of Bitrix24 mobile intranet portal is available at https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id561683423 while the Android version can be downloaded from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitrix24.android.
