This week has been a very exciting one for our client Smartsheet, a leading provider of a collaboration project management tool. On Monday, Oct. 20, 2014, Smartsheet announced its new tool, Workmap. Workmap allows users to visualize work and the various people contributing to it in Smartsheet.
By breaking down the traditional organizational chart view of work management, the Smartsheet visualization shows how internal employees and external contributors form work clusters around certain processes to drive work forward. One feature is an enterprise-wide Account Map, which provides organizations with a high-level view of their usage of Smartsheet to identify patterns in work or team collaboration across the organization, visualize hubs of activity, and map it to corporate priorities.
Joshua Greenbaum, a principal at Enterprise Applications Consulting said, “Having this level of visibility into how work gets done and how people internal and external to the enterprise collaborate is uniquely valuable to an organization.” Clearly, Smartsheet is at the forefront of visualization data and we are excited to see how they continue to stay at the forefront of enterprise technology.
