Mindjet Re-envisions Mobile for Professionals Who Manage Teams and Projects On-the-Go
LONDON, November 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Mindjet 'Tasks' app combines elegant user experience with powerful features
to unite mobile teams around critical work
Mindjet(R) today announced the availability of their purpose-built app for mobile team
and project management, Mindjet Tasks. The redesigned app has been completely reconfigured
so that professionals can, with a swipe of a finger, manage team projects and tasks, at
any time and from any location. The app is immediately available on iTunes(R)
[https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mindjet-action/id514146535?ls=1&mt=8 ] and will be
updated for iPad(R) and Android(TM) devices later in Q4.
The age of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is here: Nine out of 10 workers carry a smart
phone at work(1), and 80 percent continue to work after leaving the office(2).
Increasingly, these team-centric workers have been accessing mobile devices to check in on
projects and email, whether they were in meetings or on the road. Yet, effective team
communications and project management have been missing.
With more teams working virtually, increased coordination and real time updates are
critical to keep activities on track - whether its managing marketing campaigns,
recruiting new hires or planning project launches. Mindjet Tasks empowers the distributed
workforce with a mobile hub to manage projects, tasks, and teams in an easy-to-use and
intuitive interface. With Mindjet mobile teams can now innovate and execute on their best
ideas, together, from their smart phones.
"Our research shows that most organisations are concerned about meeting the evolving
needs of inherently mobile roles, such as sales and field service," said Chris Silva, an
analyst with Altimeter Group. "These groups have distinct needs around not just consuming
information on devices, but also creating and sharing information. The companies that
deliver upon these productivity needs stand to capture a broad, dedicated user base."
With the latest release, Mindjet advances its popular mobile app, overhauling the user
experience and adding features such as:
- Mobile team and project modules that enable project and team management
from the mobile device
- Instinctual gesture controls for easy updates, task tracking, comments and
team management
- Ability to share information and plans, assign priorities and track tasks with
multiple team members regardless of location
- Real-time updates on documents, progress and plans, including team comments
- Patent pending auto-prioritisation of tasks to keep you and your team on the
right track
- Instant connection with Mindjet web and desktop to update or add to your
latest ideas and plans
"Mindjet Tasks does for teams what Clear and Any.Do do for the individual. It combines
elegance and efficiency to bring people and plans together, meeting the evolving work
needs of the always-on-the-go mobile professional," said Mindjet CMO Jascha Kaykas-Wolff.
With Mindjet, professionals can be more productive, creative and organized to quite
simply, work inspired."
