Kenesto’s seamless integration overlays Task Management, Workflow, and Enterprise Business Collaboration onto Dropbox content
Kenesto Corp., today announced the availability of a seamless integration between its cloud-native Business Collaboration solution and Dropbox, the file sharing and synchronization service.
Through Kenesto’s integration with Dropbox, enterprises both large and small can easily include content stored in Dropbox within Kenesto’s tasks, workflows and sub-workflow processes, engage in contextual conversations around that content, interact securely with their partners and suppliers, and much more -- all through Kenesto’s multi-tenant, secure, and enterprise-IT-approved solution.
Additionally, with Kenesto’s native support for 3D CAD models viewing and markup, the integration further builds upon Kenesto’s selection as a Gartner Group Cool Vendor for 2013 in Product Design and Lifecycle Management.
“With this seamless integration, we’re extending the concept of sharing files on Dropbox with common business concepts through Kenesto’s task management, workflow, and other business-oriented collaboration capabilities,” said Stephen Bodnar, Kenesto’s Senior Vice President of Products and Strategy. “While Dropbox is a widely used file sharing solution, too many offerings on the market today are either targeted solely at consumers, are too limited in scope to provide appropriate business value, or lack IT security robustness. Kenesto was designed from the outset to provide secure, robust business value, while embracing certain ad-hoc and social concepts becoming the norm in the lives of today’s users. ”
Kenesto offers a subscription-based professional version of its solution designed for enterprises both large and small as well as a free community edition designed for independent contractors, makers and others who do not require a separate cloud tenant. The Kenesto solution is also the perfect complement to Dropbox for Business, a version of Dropbox introduced earlier this year, specifically designed for business users to more easily share their files.
