we +, the team collaboration platform that simplifies the organization of your company, gets renewed!
What changes from previous version?! we + is no longer available in free version, but you can try it free for 30 days or buy it just € 49 per month. Try the demo to find out how easy is we + and how can increase the efficiency of your organization. But this is not the only new thing: we + has new features and greater optimization of the graphical interface in order to make its use easier and moreimmediate. So what are you waiting for? Try the we + demo.

The zzub team uses we+ to remotely manage their projects: we asked Domenico Nardone how they are using our 2.0 enterprise platform.

How are you using we+ in your organization?

Working remotely, zzub collaborators need a meeting point to manage the main project we’re developing at the moment: our new community platform. (…)

From the start we+ has been useful as a support to our daily work, above all for its document repository features, which are key to share important information and not let them get lost in our personal inboxes.

After getting the hang of the platform we started using it regularly, especially the calendar, which allows us all to keep an eye on the deadlines and follow the development of the project and it various steps, particularly thanks to the use of tasks and milestones.

How long did it take to use it at its full potential?

Not much. Within a couple of weeks we managed to use the platform and all its collaboration and communication tools.

What’s the feature you’d most like to have?

A more powerful Wiki tool, with an advanced editor, might help the collaboration.

Should you suggest we+ to someone, what’s the key feature of we+ that you would use to convince them?

Immediacy for sure. Beginning to use we+ means to install or configure almost nothing: the usability and ease of use allow you to start using the environment at its best after a few days of trial.

This is something that is rarely valued, but it’s fundamental for the diffusion of these collaboration tools: if thecnologies are too complex they become a deterrent rather than an enabling factor.

The extra value of we+ resides in its ease of use, that allows anyone to adopt it seamlessly as a support for its working activities.

Vivido provides system integration and software delvelopement to medium and big companies. Three years ago we decided to get the ISO9001 certification. After one year, at the moment of the first inspection from the certifying agency, we realized that it would be necessary to find an efficient way to manage the documentation required by the certification.

The quest has been quick: pur attention was immediately drawn to we+. We used it for the trial period, after which we immediately bought it. We even suggested it to one of our most important customers, who recently renewed his subscription.

How we use it
we+ is used by all company functions: developers use it to collect all info regarding projects, accounting to manage the invoiciong of some of our services, sales to send updated information to our customers.

Why we use it
Because we+ is extremely simple to use, it’s immediately operational and it’s intuitive: the learning process has been almost instantaneous.

What we’d change
Maybe the wiki does not really comply to the look&feel of the wikis we normally use.

Why we suggest it to our customers
Definitely for the advanced permission management, that makes we+ a very business-oriented service.

We have made significant improvements to the we+workspace user interface, both in terms operation, rationalization and communication of information. We have improved 4 key areas; Dashboard, Document Management, Communications and People, with multiple functions.
