• 

Task Management Now on the Web, Mobile and Desktop

...more than 1,000 business customers have chosen Producteev over the many others out there.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

Producteev, a leading cross-platform task management provider for teams and individuals, today unveiled a slew of new apps that are more hyper-connected through cloud services, mobile devices, and social media. Now available as a web app, iPhone and Android mobile app, and Windows and Mac desktop app, Producteev is moving closer to its goal of enabling universal task management. Today, people need to create and store tasks across a multitude of platforms, devices, services and locations from email and IMs to voicemails and notes, traversing cloud services and sites on work-based PCs to personal laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Leveraging the cloud, Producteev's new apps sync, capture and manage tasks and to-do lists across the broadest list of platforms, devices, cloud services, and locations.

More Than 1,000 Business Customers Choose Producteev

More than 7 million tasks have been created on Producteev, which is the only task manager that integrates with complementary and competing services, such as: Google Apps, Google Tasks, Remember the Milk, Astrid, GMail, IM clients and many more. Demonstrating the company’s offering is striking the right cord with the market, Producteev announced it has surpassed more than 1,000 paying business customers using its task management offering. A sample of the first 1,000 customers includes Orbitz, Trulia, Logitech, Financial Times, Boston College, and SkullCandy.

“We’re delighted that more than 1,000 business customers have chosen Producteev over the many others out there. We’re also thrilled to see thousands of individuals selecting Producteev every month. This growing adoption validates Producteev’s drive to universal task management. We’ll continue to focus on the needs of our customers, deliver the best products possible, and raise the bar in user experience,” stated Ilan Abehassera, Producteev’s co-founder and CEO. “Producteev's new offering brings task management one step closer to being universal; much like Evernote has done for notes and DropBox has done for files, Producteev will do for task management.”

Producteev Makes Task Management More Social

Producteev also announced the integration with TaskRabbit, becoming the first to use TaskRabbit’s newly launched API. A novel service, TaskRabbit is an online network that safely and reliably connects people in a community to get both everyday and skilled tasks completed. By connecting these two offerings, users now can outsource any task from Producteev to TaskRabbit in a single click, expediting users’ ability to get things done and further driving the adoption of social crowdsourcing via task management.

The way individuals and businesses handle their work and tasks is changing. Producteev’s move allows people to “make everything taskable” using any platform, device, service or channel, underscoring large-scale shifts unfolding in this arena. New technologies, as well as societal and economic forces are spurring an increase in social crowdsourcing. More businesses and individuals are tapping into their larger social graph of friends, family and local community or the general public to get help, retain services, or employ specialized skills in order to complete tasks. A recent study by The Daily Crowdsource, reported crowdsourced work quadrupled in 2011 and the number of crowdsourced tasks completed is estimated to increase by 355%.

David Coleman, Founder and Managing Director of Collaborative Strategies Inc. noted, "in this BYOD world it is not only important to support collaboration and task management across platforms but alliances are also critical. Producteev is building such an ecosystem with the goal of making task management ubiquitous and universal, and helping get business done faster. This is rapid movement by Producteev in the right strategic direction."

New and Enhanced Mobile Apps; New Producteev for Windows App

Users can manage tasks directly from their Android or iPhone devices, using the new Producteev for Android or Producteev for iPhone V2 apps. Producteev’s new mobile apps work in conjunction with popular mobile and cloud services, providing users with comprehensive task management functionality such as: add, delegate and sort tasks, upload files, create subtasks, and print out task lists. Report generation is also fast and easy, providing a useful snapshot of projects and to-dos.

Combining all the new features and enhancements in Producteev’s newly released mobile apps, users of Producteev for Windows will also enjoy native Windows 7 notifications as well as the ability to export and print reports and tasks lists.
