coAction.com Launches New On-Demand Business Collaboration Solution

Delivers Simple, Unified Workspace, and Advanced Collaboration Tools on a Single Web Platform


ISELIN, NJ--(Marketwire - May 24, 2010) -  coAction.com, a leading provider of advanced business collaboration software, today announced the launch of its new integrated on-demand collaboration solution, coAction. Designed to support multiple horizontal business processes -- such as finance, sales, and customer service -- through connected "coApps," coAction can be used by businesses seeking to accelerate their "lead to cash" cycle functions.

"Traditional collaboration solutions do not provide a rich end-user experience and are costly to deploy and maintain," said Jagdish Talreja, president, coAction.com. "As more companies seek to fully leverage the Web for business collaboration, coAction's instantly accessible SaaS-based collaboration solution provides immediate value by improving business processes and reducing costs."

coAction leverages the software-as-a-service delivery model and features multi-tenant architecture, a finely grained security schema, extensible data model and reliable services and integration framework.

Select One or More coApps

Ready to use without any installation requirements, coAction "coApps" provide the rich user-interface experience of the desktop. Unlike other collaboration tools that are disconnected and require users to access separate applications for email, tasks, shared folders and calendars, coAction presents business users with connected ready-to-use tools on a single Web-based platform.

coAction "coApps" can be implemented by companies, workgroups or departments as specific business needs dictate. The full suite of coAction solutions include:

  • Workspace
    • Task management
    • Document management
    • Email management
    • Project management
    • Calendar
    • Discussions
  • Customer Collaboration
    • Opportunity management
    • Service & support
  • Collaboration Portal
    • Self-Service support
    • Invoices & statements
    • Claims management
  • Receivables Collaboration
    • Collections collaboration
    • Claims collaboration

coAction customers can also design their own "coApps" to address their unique business requirements.

Talreja commented, "The beauty of coAction is that dispersed workers can collaborate over the Web to track disparate information -- such as emails, correspondence, transactions and project milestones -- in one solution. Our approach diminishes errors and saves the time wasted when knowledge workers have to spend cycles searching for related information in separate applications."
