Time for the New Year’s Eve Report

Wait a moment, is it December already? It has been such a fantastic year, the time flew by so quickly.

First of all, we would like to thank all of you for choosing Wrike project management software and relying on it in managing your day-to-day project work. It is a pleasure to serve both “Wrike experts” with a rich experience of using our app and our new friends that have just recently joined Wrike’s customer community. We really appreciate your contribution through your feedback, awesome suggestions, and experience shared with other users in your case studies.

Wrike has become even smarter…

We’ve added 20+ new project management features to help you become way more productive. In 2011 we added the abilities to attach files with drag-and-drop, edit documents without downloading, view your tasks from your favorite mobile or tablet device and much more. Many of these updates were inspired by your suggestions, so if you haven’t voiced your favorite feature yet, it’s the right time to do it!

…even faster…

As the pace of information flow increases, project management needs to be much more flexible and agile. Thanks to a slick facelift, Wrike got a friendlier look and feel, as well as an unparalleled speed boost that allows you to load and manage tons of data in just seconds whether you are running dozens, hundreds or even thousands of tasks and projects. “Thanks to Wrike, our team now completes 30% more tasks with open deadlines per month,” says William Fetter, director of marketing and communications at Hexagon Metrology.

…and you’ve wowed it!

“I love the fact that Wrike hit everything in my dream list! With Wrike's help, we get vastly better results, we get more things done and done faster,” says Timothy Seward, CEO of ROI Revolution. Thank you Tim for such nice words! We hope many of you would “+1” Timothy’s opinion ;). Your positive feedback resulted in new fantastic customer stories and podcasts discussing best practices to using Wrike and new project management methods inspired by our app.

Our achievements were also appreciated by the business community: Wrike received a Stevies award and got extensive media coverage in GigaOm, ReadWriteWeb, eWeek, AllBusinessBlog, InformationWeek, PM4Girls and more!

So what’s the bottom line? Terri Griffith from GigaOm has perfectly summarized the results:
"Complexity can be managed, work can be shared, and transparency supported — all at blazing speed." [in Wrike]

Indeed, 2011 was amazingly eventful. However, we’ve set even higher goals for 2012 and we’re eager to achieve them. We’d like to close this year by wishing you Happy Holidays! May the New Year make your projects even more successful and collaboration - seamless. And we at Wrike will do our best to make all your wishes for productive work come true!
