Buckle up for an exciting ride in Wrike’s time machine! Growing with Customers, Growing the Team   In 2013, we worked hard and moved fast. The number of customers like you that enjoyed the premium version grew by more than 60%, and today we’re happy to serve over 4,500 organizations of different sizes, including brands like PayPal, Ecco, and Google. In fact, thousands of new companies try Wrike every month, and we hope that our family will keep growing.    Just a couple of weeks ago, you helped us reach another remarkable milestone – the number of tasks managed in Wrike exceeded 20 million!    Alongside growing the number of customers, we&#39;ve been growing our capability to better serve you by adding team members in charge of customer success, sales, marketing, operations, and product engineering.      Releasing Features that Rock     This year alone, there were 30+ big and small feature releases, as well as hundreds of important improvements that aren’t immediately visible on the front end.    In August, we launched Wrike Graphite, and it&#39;s not just hype to say that this release contributed to shaking up the online collaboration space with features such as project infographics, timers with live status broadcast, task dependencies, and lots of other powerful, but easy-to-use tools.   Driven by your needs and the suggestions of other customers with large deployments, we introduced the Wrike Enterprise plan just last week as our year-end finale. With the help of big data technologies, we&#39;ve made it easier to manage large distributed teams and complex projects. Get a high-level overview in this short video. Wrike and Bain Capital Ventures: More Than Just Funding On the strategic business side, one of our key milestones this year was receiving $10 million in funding from Bain Capital Ventures, which gives us the resources to grow even faster in 2014 than we did this year.     Spreading the Word   Our feature-filled releases didn’t go unnoticed by the press. Over the past several months, Wrike was featured in business and tech media giants such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, AllThingsD, TechCrunch, and Venturebeat, to name just a few. Overall, Wrike received almost twice as much coverage this year, compared to last year ... and we&#39;re still counting.    So to all of you customers and friends, a big thank you for supporting and believing in Wrike. Your patronage and feedback are extremely helpful and always very much appreciated. Happy holidays to you and your families. And see you in 2014 with a couple of big releases just around the corner.

Language Settings in Wrike: Switch from English to Spanish and Vice Versa Easily!

Many of you know that Wrike project management software recently became available in Spanish. Now, we have added the ability to change the language of your Wrike workspace easily. First, the language option is now available on every page of Wrike’s website (see the top right corner of the webpage). Additionally, you can customize the language of your Wrike workspace and the language of email notifications you receive from Wrike by using the “My profile” tab in the "Account" section. Once you switch the language under your personal profile, do not forget to save the changes so that they come into effect! Each user can individually set the desired language because the settings are personal and do not affect the entire account.

Wrike’s Interface in Spanish Is Released. Other Languages Are Coming Soon!

If you were waiting for the release of Wrike’s interface in Spanish, you will be pleased with the latest updates. Today, it becomes more convenient for you, as well as your Spanish-speaking team members, clients, and partners, to collaborate on projects with the help of Wrike.  To make your experience as pleasant as possible, we did our best to carefully translate Wrike’s workspace, notifications, alerts, and help pages. We believe that the possibility of working in the Spanish interface will make your work with Wrike even more enjoyable. Also, it will let you invite more Spanish-speaking peers to collaborate with you on Wrike. “It is very exciting to launch the first localized version of Wrike,” said Nic Bryson, VP of Customer Relations. “With plans for more languages in the future, such as German, French, Portuguese, and Italian, we started with Spanish, the one most called-for by our users. We value our Spanish-speaking customers who have been using Wrike in English to date. We believe that they, as well as new Spanish-speaking users, will be pleased with the convenience of using Wrike in their native language.” How can I see Wrike in Spanish? Have Spanish as a high-priority language in your web browser. If you are as happy with the release as we are, a tweet or a short blog post about it would be a great “thank you” for our efforts to deliver the Spanish version to you:) Thank you for your continuous support and for using Wrike’s English version!

Wrike is Ready to Learn New Languages

We know that many customers of Wrike from different corners of the world wanted to see their workspace in their native language. Today, we have some great news for you! First of all, you may have already noticed several new language options in your personal profile. Thanks to our users’ contributions, Wrike is now also available in Portuguese, Russian, and Japanese. New arrivals on the language list First of all, you may have already noticed several new language options in your personal profile. Thanks to our users’ contributions, Wrike project management software is now also available in Portuguese, Russian, and Japanese (besides the interfaces in English and Spanish that we’ve had for a long time)! If you want to see one of them in your workspace, choose it in one click right now. We appreciate the efforts our users made to help translate Wrike’s interface to these languages and hope that it will make Wrike a more convenient tool, not only for their teams but for thousands of other users, as well. Many thanks to Marcos Stenner, Jana Kroftová, Mikhail Prokhorov, and Eugene Smirnov for their invaluable help! Your contributions are welcome as well! But this is not all that we wanted to share with you. We also have launched an easy-to-use online translating tool that can help you make Wrike project management software an even better place for your team. Whether you want to translate one string or the whole interface, you are very welcome to do so! Translating Wrike is simple and quick. If you want to make just a couple of suggestions or correct a mistake, you can do it right away without registration. However, the registered users will see their translation in the interface faster than anonymous users. We’ve prepared a quick guide through the tool interface and some translation tips on our special page for you. Enjoying the fruits of your work won’t take long! We deploy the approved translations once per week or so. As soon as more than half of a new language is translated, it becomes available in the workspace. To speed up the deployment, you also may drop us a note once you’ve finished the translation. We hope that using Wrike in your native language will make your team’s collaboration smoother and easier! A number of other popular languages, such as French, German, Norwegian, and Croatian, are now in the process of translation, too, and thanks to your help, they may appear in the interface very soon. Come up with a string translation for one of them, or start translating into a new language if you’d like to!

Wrike's 2012: A Look in the Rearview Mirror

Over 30 new features, 4 new languages, doubling the customer base, talented new team members – this is just a brief snapshot of the great things that happened at Wrike in 2012. As we’re gaining momentum on the next big part of our roadmap, I’d like to glance back at the events and achievements we had in the past year and share some highlights with you. Our team of 50 worked hard to make the online work of thousands of organizations as easy, comfortable and efficient as possible with Wrike’s help. To make that happen, we enhanced Wrike with more than 30 big and small project collaboration features, including the shiny new mobile apps, the redesigned three-pane Activity Stream, the Live collaborative editor and much more. These releases not only received a warm welcome from our customers, but also gained positive reviews from top tech and business media, including TechCrunch, InformationWeek, Mashable and Business Insider. As the word about Wrike was spreading wider and quicker, we saw more than 40,000 companies trying our software in 2012. This is about double what we had in 2011. To make it even easier for international users to leverage Wrike’s power, one of our top priorities was localizing Wrike to new languages. Last year, we introduced our UI in German, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, so that the native speakers of these languages literally feel at home in Wrike. There’s more to come in 2013: The work on several other languages is humming on our translation portal. We were happy to welcome many new ambitious start-ups on board, as well as teams from globally known corporations, such as Fujifilm, Ticketmaster, Cisco and many more. Our overall customer base expanded more than twofold, which was one of our most prominent results of that year! We’re happy that you rely on Wrike in managing your projects. When we hear from our customers that Wrike “operates how they think”, makes them more organized and efficient, and helps them “take their business to the next level,” we feel like our hard work is rewarded! Thank you all for your business and your support! 2012 was a fruitful year, but if you ask us about our pace and plans for 2013, we are going to go only faster than before.  We have many ideas about how to make you, us and the whole world more productive, and we just can’t rest until we build those ideas into the product and see that happy smile of yours. Some of those innovations are nearly out of the door. You’ve already seen the recent update to our messaging interface with quotes built in. So stay tuned for more exciting releases, and as always, don’t hesitate to drop us a note if you want to influence our direction. Wishing you all a great and productive year! P.S. I’d like to kindly ask you about two things: As a good car craves being driven, Wrike was built to be used by you and your team on a daily basis. If you make it a habit, sure enough, it will pay back in productivity in many expected and unexpected ways. We’d appreciate it if you help us spread the word about Wrike. Tell your colleagues, blog about it, tweet about it, anything. Just like with email or Skype, it’s much easier to collaborate, when everyone’s on board.

Wrike Rocks Dallas Vendor Showcase 2011

Last week, Wrike’s team took part in the Dallas Vendor Showcase 2011. The event, organized by the Project Management Institute, attracted several hundred representatives from the best project management software, training, consulting and staffing companies. As a leading vendor on the Web-based project management software market, Wrike gained such high interest among the visitors that our stand was quickly left without a single brochure! About 300 people who visited our booth during the day found out how easy it is to manage projects in Wrike. Nic Bryson, our VP of Customer Relations, answered the visitors’ numerous questions and told them about Wrike’s unique collaborative features. As a great finale for such a day, Nic raffled off a few discounted Wrike subscriptions. Wendy Overturf, PMP, IT project manager at Texas Instruments, became the lucky winner of the free 1-year subscription to Wrike.  The spring of 2011 is rich with events that are interesting for project management professionals. On March 29, you can meet us at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, where Wrike’s CEO will share practical tips on creating innovative, yet familiar, software that “sticks.” On April 2, we invite you to join the world&#39;s largest free get-together of product managers and product marketers - Silicon Valley Product Camp in San Jose.

Wrike's 2010: an Overview of the Achievements

The biggest milestone we reached in 2010 is the launch of Wrike’s new, social version. The months of hard work and lots of effort that we put into this release have resulted in making Wrike project management software as friendly and easy to use as a social network. A brilliant new interface, activity streams and built-in microblogging, interactive dashboard, handy backlog and many other powerful features have been introduced in the new version to give an extra productivity boost to you and your team. On the heels of the social version release we enhanced Wrike with table view for fast task editing, a new image viewer for convenient work with visual graphics and more helpful updates. In 2010, we’ve greatly extended Wrike Apps & Integrations. Collaborative document management has become quick and easy, thanks to Wrike’s integration with Google Docs. Also, Wrike has become the first project management solution to integrate with Google Wave. Finally, a few weeks ago, we unveiled Wrike’s development platform, which gives your development team an opportunity to integrate Wrike with other software you use. We’ve been happy to hear the positive feedback on the updates from our customers. Enthusiastic reviews, such as “Wrike has been the most productive tool we’ve added to our arsenal,” “Wrike has become an irreplaceable tool we rely on,” and many others are worth the sleepless nights we dedicated to making Wrike as helpful and efficient as it is today. You can learn more about other users’ experiences with Wrike in the success stories. This year, we published quite a few new interviews! Our accomplishments also have received positive reviews from influential media. Wrike has been covered in TechCrunch, Computerworld, eWeek, Venturebeat, GigaOM and many other blogs. Also, Wrike was honored as the tool of the month by the Clever Tester network, one of the largest independent software testing resources on the Web, which testified that Wrike is a great match for the needs of software development and quality assurance teams. We’d like to thank you all for your business and your loyalty to Wrike. We highly appreciate your opinion and try to address your needs with every release. If you ever have comments, ideas or feature suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact our Support team. In 2011, we’ll keep working on making Wrike the best project management and collaboration software that exceeds your expectations! Wrike’s team wishes you and your family Happy Holidays! See you in 2011!
