DeskAway - glad to be of service…

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Crockett Dunn speaks about his experience with DeskAway on Crock-Town Traffic :

” Have I mentioned DeskAway, the software service on which I run a parallel instance (redundant/fault-tolerant 4u g33ks) of my entire contract management business?

DeskAway delivers all the stuff 37signals promised, except it’s not shiny and hollow like baseCamp and highRise were last time I checked. DeskAway has the highest functional-to-pretty/shiny ratio in the market.

Check it out @ http://www.deskaway.com/.I liked it so much I wrote a testimonial on behalf of my employer, Crockett Dunn, LLC.

DeskAway has a policy of welcoming and inviting customer input and feedback to help make their product better. But not in a Microsoft way, where one feels his or her response has been thrown into a database as a statistic never to be seen by human eyes.

DeskAway is a company still small and “glad to be of service”…. with the work ethic to deliver great software, great service, and care about their customers…. even going to the unbelievable extreme of allowing human interactions between customers and and the service provider!

Case and point: I inquired with DeskAway about an API and one-click export-all, and I received a personal response from the business owner within 24 hours.”

Looking for an easy-to-use online project management software option? check out DeskAway. To my surprise, DeskAway is very simple to understand and implement.

If you are like me, you have a to-do list for your to-do list.  Not to mention at least ten sticky notes on your desk at any given time.  You are working on multiple projects at the same time, constantly emailing co-workers for updates, and frantically trying to meet a deadline.  As much as I like to be organized, usually I’m not.

Smart Zone Psychology Blog

Susan Fletcher, Ph.D. of Fletcher & Associates Psychological Services, P.A. discovers that DeskAway keeps you in your “smart zone”.

From the Smart Zone blog >>

If I have discovered a new tool to keep you in your Smart Zone, wouldn’t you want to know about it? Well, my Vistage CEO group introduced me to something that is going to help us manage daily tasks in our office and I am finding myself telling everyone. It is called, DeskAway, and you can learn more about it at www.DeskAway.com. It is a web based application that you can use free for a few projects and a few users. It is a way to have a dashboard for your team where the status of tasks is centralized. One of the best things is that it eliminates those ongoing run on emails that get sent back and forth as you are working on proposals, letters, and other documents that require the input and activities of more than one person. I am looking forward to all the projects we have that can be managed using DeskAway. Try it and let us know whether or not it is keeping you in your Smart Zone.
