Glip announced today the release its conversation platform that enables teams to become more productive by putting conversation at the center of collaboration. Glip’s unique approach lets teams get work done while they communicate, supporting their natural workflow and keeping members connected allowing them to unleash creativity and innovation. The collaboration market is one of the hottest technology growth areas and the Glip conversation platform offers teams the combined power of communication, social, and document sharing applications in one easy-to-use solution to help plan, share, and organize work.

When people work together they interact in many different ways: face-to-face meetings, conference calls, impromptu chats, instant messaging, email, reviewing and editing documents together, managing tasks, scheduling events, planning projects, and more. With Glip, all of these activities take place within a conversation stream and in context, reducing the time and stress of managing multiple applications and email threads, enabling teams to focus on the quality of their work, and increasing productivity.

“Conversations are what bring people together—it’s how teams brainstorm new ideas, solve problems, and improve performance. With Glip, we are introducing a new wave in collaboration—one that keeps conversations at the center of teamwork,” said Peter Pezaris, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Glip, Inc. “After more than 20 years of research and development in real-time communications, we know that the old-fashioned approach of putting tasks, projects, or documents at the center of workflow creates friction and limits engagement. With Glip, we are harnessing the natural way teams work together through conversations that include the essential productivity tools to make them successful.”
