The numbers of applications at the average business have grown dramatically in recent years, reaching an average of 80 last year according to metrics from SaaS management platform BetterCloud, and more than double that in organizations with more than 2,000 employees, according to Okta. Application ecosystemīringing that capability into ClickUp, which is a work management app along similar lines to Asana, and Wrike, provides tight integration into the ecosystem of applications that businesses use today.
What people were getting out of Slapdash, they were able to do things much faster, they were saving people time. We built what I like to colloquially describe as, 'the file system for your cloud apps.' Then we discovered new ways to work with that cloud, with that file system, letting people do things like open any document much quicker than they would otherwise, or find out what a person is working on. So after leaving Facebook, he and his colleagues decided to create a packaged tool that would put the same capabilities in the hands of any business. But few businesses have the IT resources to build their own internal productivity tools in the way that the likes of Facebook, Google and Amazon have. Interestingly, the inspiration for Slapdash was Kanevski's experience as a Facebook employee of the tools that company has built for its internal use. But I think the one interesting thing that we do as well, it's not about just search and reading, we can also write to those applications. We give you this bird's-eye view across the applications. This ability to take actions on search results is particularly distinctive, says Ivan Kanevski, co-Founder and CEO of Slapdash: Contextual search results are returned almost instantly, and users can then take actions including editing, sharing and commenting. Slapdash currently connects to more than 40 SaaS applications, including Slack, Google Drive and Salesforce, with more on the way. Bringing Slapdash on board will add a search and command capability into ClickUp, which allows users to search across all their connected applications and take actions on the results. One vendor that's taking a fresh approach to this question is up-and-coming work management platform ClickUp, which last week announced its acquisition of Slapdash, a tool designed to connect into various popular SaaS applications. But what about those who spend most of their time in a specific business application, such as Salesforce or Workday? Connecting this final dimension of digital teamwork into the enterprise collaborative canvas often seems like an afterthought, leading to disjointed workflows and gaps in communication. That's fine for workers who spend most of their time at work in one or other of these modes. Most digital teamwork platforms start from the perspective of either messaging, content or workflow.
