BT Workspace refugees will be offered a Glasscubes account
Summary
[UK] The failure of BT Workspace, one of the usual pathetic corporate attempts to try and produce a collaborative working platform, has left a gaping whole for those small businesses that used it. BT Workspace was a collaborative project between BT and US-based SMBLive which provided small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with online workspaces based on Microsoft SharePoint technology, allowing businesses to share information and manage documents. Glasscubes offers similar features as BT Workspace – private workspaces to share documents, calendars, tasks and discussions, a branded online place to manage projects and centralise customer data (contacts, sales leads and issues). I have to say there are a million and one CRM apps like this aimed at small businesses today – Siondo is a fast-moving company springs to mind – so it’s hard to say whether SMBLive could not have just as easily brought in any number of other partners out there. In its favour however, is a clean and simple interface from Glasscube and some nice CRM features, if that’s what floats your boat.
