Incentive Launches “Incentive 4,” New Version of Social Intranet with Freemium Pricing, Boosting Team Communication and Collaboration
Los Angeles (PRWEB) February 17, 2016 -- Incentive, a leading provider of a complete social intranet for mid-market organizations and enterprise teams, today announced its new freemium pricing model with the launch of “Incentive 4,” the new product version that makes document and file collaboration easier than ever. With the free version, Incentive now powers team collaboration for free up to 15 users. Larger teams can get the “Professional” package for just $9 per user per month, which includes additional and enhanced capabilities with everything employees need to communicate better, effectively work together and be more productive.
In a survey by Google Apps for Work, an overwhelming 73 percent of respondents agreed that their organizations would be more successful if employees were able to work in more flexible and collaborative ways. Additionally, the survey found that a culture of collaboration goes hand-in-hand with higher employee morale and job satisfaction. Furthermore, respondents agreed investing in technology has the biggest impact on collaboration.
Incentive combines all the features teams need to be more efficient, capture individual and collective knowledge and collaborate within a single, secure platform. With everything in one central location and deeply integrated, employees save time spent switching between multiple services - no more going back and forth from one app to another.
“With this new product release, we want to end once and for all the problem with point solutions for collaboration," said Rickard Hansson, CEO and founder of Incentive. "Bouncing around between different services is killing productivity, and managing and paying for so many different subscriptions is costly for businesses. Incentive offers all of these services - chat, document collaboration, task management, file sharing, etc. - in a single platform for a nominal monthly fee. As businesses become more flexible, fast-paced and connected, Incentive provides a new, collaborative way for employees to communicate and work together.”
The new capabilities in Incentive 4 that help improve collaboration include:
• Document Collaboration – With documents and files as the focal point, Incentive 4 makes it easier than ever for employees to work together. Simply create a new blog, wiki, photo gallery, poll, meeting notes, task board or other file within each team’s or project’s space. Employees have the ability to share feedback or edits on each file, and can avoid having multiple versions and confusion about which one is the most up-to-date.
• Real-Time Communication – Private conversations and chat rooms are now easily retrievable via a side panel. Users can instantly communicate with colleagues –whether privately or in a group – while looking at a document, image, task or any other file in the main window. Employees can easily switch from private messages to a group chat room, or see who’s online.
• Task Management – Now, users can add tasks for themselves or others on the side panel of any asset they are working on or viewing - wiki, document, photo, etc. With tasks connected to anything within Incentive - from people to projects to individual documents, files and messages - users can find what they need simply and intuitively. Tasks can also be prioritized by dragging them up or down, and users can conveniently see all their tasks on the start page.
• Events – A brand new feature, users can now manage meetings, brainstorm sessions, tradeshows and other events. Users can schedule and edit event details, RSVP, add attachments, make comments or see the list of attendees. With this new feature, employees can easily find events relevant to their projects or interests, promoting cross-team collaboration.
• Enhanced User Experience – The new look and feel lets users quickly and conveniently see what they’re working on or interested in, and is fully customizable to each business’ brand. A new side panel features all conversations about a document, so employees can easily share it with other people, work on edits, discuss strategy or simply send a thumbs up emoji. Side panels and menus can easily be hidden to skip information that is not relevant to a user or avoid unnecessary distractions.
All new features are also available on the Incentive mobile apps for iOS and Android and desktop apps for Mac, Windows and Chrome. The apps give users the full experience of Incentive regardless of location, enabling real-time collaboration and greater productivity.
