ConceptShare Partners With Corel and Launches v2 of ConceptShare Service

ConceptShare is making two major announcements today. A five-year partnership with Corel and V2 of the ConceptShare service.

V2 Release 

This is the first major upgrade since the critically acclaimed web application launched in January, 2007. The project management interface has been redesigned to be simpler and cleaner, resulting in less clicks and a smoother workflow. Project workspaces have more vertical screen area, and a redesigned layout that is now completely customizable. The new user interface improvements are part of major framework upgrade that will allow ConceptShare to make modifications and improvements even faster in the future.

"Engagement from our community in the form of feedback, feature requests and recommending our product to colleagues has been key to our growth." said Will Pate, Community Evangelist for ConceptShare. "This is just the beginning of how we will engage our customers and partners."

Corel Partnership

CorelDRAWConceptShare.com is the first release in the five-year partnership between Corel and ConceptShare. It's a perfect marriage between the two companies though there would be another graphics software company that might have given ConceptShare even more visibility. I might be mistaken but I believe this is Corel's first entry into the Web space. Both companies are Canadian.

"We are enthusiastic about our partnership with Corel. The CorelDRAW version of ConceptShare™ provides us immediate exposure to millions of CorelDRAW users worldwide and will help to accelerate our growth into international markets,” said Bernie Aho, Product Manager and Co-Founder, ConceptShare. “This strategic partnership demonstrates a new model for relationships between web application providers and desktop software companies.”
