San Francisco, Calif., May 4, 2010 - Wrike.com revolutionizes the way millions of business users collaborate via email by bringing real-time Web 2.0 collaboration to their inboxes. With the release of the new version Wrike turns its online project management software into an email-integrated real-time project collaboration and productivity solution.

"For many of us, there's no doubt that in 3 years, SMBs will use next-generation Web-based tools that make collaboration much more efficient than last century's email. However, replacing email may just not be what business teams are longing for," - said Andrew Filev, CEO at Wrike.com. "Our experience shows that tight integration with the most ubiquitous communication tool, e-mail, proves to be a better approach. Wrike won over thousands of project teams thanks to its unique ability to turn whole email threads into tasks and projects shared online. Now, with the release of the new version we're making another big step in helping business users worldwide maximize their project management efficiency. During the last few months the Wrike team has been passionately working on the right project productivity formula. We are excited to present our new version at Web 2.0 Expo."

In addition to advanced project management features, such as already widely popular email integration, unique flexibility and interactive Gantt chart, Wrike delivers a number of new functions that maximize user satisfaction and greatly improve overall team productivity.

Faster Performance, Clean and Intuitive User Interface

The new Wrike is designed for speed and productivity. Every action, like creating a task or a project, assigning it to a team member, sharing project data with a team or attaching a file, etc. is done in a click or two. The new streamlined interface was developed based on extensive usability studies and deep analysis of Wrike users' feedback. New users are able to start actively collaborating on their projects the very moment they enter the workspace for the first time. No training is needed.

Unparalleled Personal and Team Productivity

The dashboard is turned into a powerful, yet simple personal productivity tool in Wrike's new version. On opening the dashboard, team members immediately see what they should be working on today and get real-time updates from their peers. Managers easily coordinate the work of their staff and closely follow progress of multiple projects.

Social Project Management

Wrike's new version takes the best of social networking and applies it to project management for maximizing productivity of the whole team. Avatars bring visual experience to teams' online interactions, as well as make the online workplace much friendlier to all users. Thanks to this feature the management platform becomes more engaging, which results in growing efficiency of project collaboration.

Real-Time Insight into Projects

New Wrike gives project managers an ability to simultaneously see their tasks and projects in a list and visualized on a Gantt chart. The list view provides them with most important details about any particular task, including due dates, task duration and people responsible. The Gantt chart pane visualizes all the team's changes to project plans in the real time. It also allows to instantly reschedule tasks, by dragging and dropping items. This powerful tool puts managers in control of their project data and gives them a 1,000-foot real-time view of what their teams are working on.
