Now that we have announced Slife 3.0, what about Slife Teams?

The short answer is, we couldn’t be more excited about the future of Slife Teams!

Slife Teams was originally designed as an aggregator of Slife data for multiple users. Imagine a small graphic design studio where everyone uses Slife to keep track of time. If you could bring together everybody’s computer usage data, it would be super easy to find out, for example, how much time the entire team spends on projects and how much to charge clients. Also, by giving the entire team access to everybody’s computer usage, Slife Teams could be used as a powerful communication tool, making it easy and automatic for team members to discover what their colleagues are up to.

Unfortunately, as we came to find out when we released Slife Teams, the largest majority of companies that became interested in the service were looking for a solution to monitor employee productivity, not keep track of time or improve office communications.

We understand that employee productivity monitoring is a fairly large, profitable space, and represents a need companies have, but at the end of the day, we simply don’t want to be in that market. So the new release of Slife Teams, which coincides with the release of Slife 3.0, emphasizes overall team communication and awareness while removing functionalities that would allow a manager to track employee activity at a fine level of detail.

We like to think of the new Slife Teams as a lightweight awareness communication tool that combines automatic activity analytics with microblogging to make it very easy for teams members to stay up to date with each other’s activities.

Check Slife Teams and find out for yourself how it can improve communication in your office, company or organization. We will be talking a lot more about Slife Teams in the weeks to come.
