DeskMail is a service by DeskAway that helps you communicate with your projects via email. DeskMail will allow you and your team to add tasks and reply to task comments via email. If you are using email on your smartphones (iPhone, Blackberry etc.) you can easily email out tasks to your team members (just like you would normally) and still have a copy of it stored on your DeskAway account.

"DeskAway has bumped up our efficiency far more than any other online tool I have encountered thus far."

Martin Adams, CEO, Tree of Life Publishing, Inc.

1. How are you using DeskAway and what value is it providing your team?
We're using DeskAway to keep track to-dos across departments, meet our project due dates, assign documents to specific to-dos, as well as an online collaboration tool.

2. Were you using any other tool before DeskAway?
We've looked into at least 10 other project management apps and found that DeskAway meets all of our needs far better than the other apps.

3. Was there a learning curve associated with DeskAway? How did your team adapt to a new application?
If one considers an hour a learning curve, then, yes, there was an hour's worth of learning. That's it. Intuitive interface.

4. What features does your team use the most?
To-dos & Project timelines.

5. Are you emailing (sending tasks, attachments etc.) less because of DeskAway? How has DeskAway helped in lowering project costs, profitability or improving efficiency?
Yes. Sending attachments by email no longer makes sense when you can simply upload it to DeskAway and keep track of the outstanding task there. DeskAway has bumped up our efficiency far more than any other online tool I have encountered thus far.

Have you creatively marketed your business on Facebook, Twitter or some other social media channel? If so, tell us your innovative and funky social media story for a chance to get featured in front of our audience. You can reply to this email with your story.

Have a great week and thank you for being a part of the DeskAway community.
