Google I/O - Drinking The Kool-Aid, and It Sure Is Tasty

  

Smartsheet was one of the featured apps in the Google I/O sandbox last week in San Francisco.  We got to mingle with lots of Googlers and more than 5,000 developers who were there to learn more about Google’s plans for 2011.  There’s been a lot of press about Google’s announcements at I/O, including their new music and video rental service and the arrival of the Chromebooks in mid-June....

Product Update - Google Calendar Integration

  

On the product front, we've added integration between Smartsheet and your favorite calendar (Google, Outlook, Apple, etc.).  Our goal is to help you get more done, whether that means being logged in to Smartsheet on your computer or mobile device, viewing key tasks in your calendar, or living in email, so calendar integration was an obvious next step.

Building on our previous Google Apps integration (single sign-in, Google Docs), we're happy to add Google Calendar sync, which includes the ability to:... Read more

Product Update - Gantt chart view

  

In our most recent product release, we added a Gantt chart view to Smartsheet.  You can now switch easily between a grid view, calendar view and Gantt view of key tasks and their start/end dates.  A large number of our customers found Smartsheet as they searched for a better project management tool.  While encouraging us to avoid the complexity of project management software like Microsoft Project, many did ask us to add a Gantt chart that they could use in the project kickoff meeting with a client or at status meetings with the project team.  You can display a task's % ...

Collaboration is Good, but Work Management is Better

  

Many people describe Smartsheet as a collaboration tool, and they're right.  A big part of Smartsheet's value lies in enabling team members to share a project sheet, task list, sales pipeline or some other list of work that needs to get done.   However, when people say collaboration they're often thinking of chat, web meetings, shared appointment calendars, brainstorming and a lot of other 'Web 2.0' ways to interact with colleagues.  We're all for that, but we're not looking to emulate WebEx, or replace your Outlook or Google Calendar, or compete with Google Wave on the ...

Smartsheet has integrated with Google Apps to create an easy to use Sales Pipeline Management solution.  Adopting a CRM application like Salesforce is often a challenge.  If you’re used to using spreadsheets for tracking deals, you will be forced into a new look & feel, process, complexity and higher cost structure.  Many companies start managing a sales pipeline in a spreadsheet.  However, at some point, that pr...
