Kalexo Teamwork Version 5 is raising the bar on unified project collaboration & communication software for project teams. We've taken the feedback from many of you and added several new features and made quite a lot of improvements. So if you have not seen Kalexo Teamwork recently, we encourage you to take a fresh look, and we believe that you will be pleasantly surprised.
Some of the new features in Kalexo Teamwork 5:
- A new groundbreaking "thread" model that is designed to collect everything about an issue into a single information capsule that can be routed between team members and organizations.
- File streaming allows you to literally fly through your documents and designs - no need for downloading or opening files anymore while redlining together. Its like Google maps for your project!
- Improved online meetings, screen casting, video chat, and presence.
- Micro-blogging support (like Twitter) to get all of those group project updates out of your Email inbox and available to all.
- A new cleaner user interface design that makes Kalexo Teamwork even easier to use.
We invite you to visit http://kalexo.com and take a quick look at a short demo
video.
You also can download Kalexo Teamwork from our web site and get your project team connected immediately - its easy! Best of all it will cost you nothing to evaluate, and it is always free for individual use. And as a bonus we offer online meetings via screen sharing for free too. |

Google Wave has certainly grabbed the attention of a lot of folks recently. If you have not heard yet, Google plans to blend the best aspects of Email and Instant Messaging into a real-time collaboration tool. A “wave” is essentially a real-time document where all participants can edit at the same time.
Since the Wave announcement, a lot of people that are involved in complex project management have started wondering how they might catch the wave themselves. And here at Kalexo, we are asked the question how does Kalexo Teamwork differ from Google Wave? It is actually a very pertinent question -- we believe in many of the same concepts.
Kalexo’s equivalent to a wave is called a “thread”. Just as a wave, threads also allows for synchronous and asynchronous communication, sharing files and the like. However, Kalexo Teamwork is a complete unified collaboration system too.

If you’ve been a member of a project involving many people and organizations, you probably wondered why some projects can go from doing fine, to doing badly, and then to catastrophe so quickly.
For the pessimist, it is like everything is programmed to go wrong and there is pretty much nothing anyone can do about it. For others it is Murphy’s Law, and they let the cards fall where they may without giving it a second thought.
Others wonder why?
If you’ve given it some thought like us here at Kalexo, you probably came to the same conclusion, that the real problem is actually ourselves – yes, the folks on the project pretty much can doom it right from the start. I am not saying that you or I don’t know how to do our jobs effectively, but only that there are some circumstances that can skew the project to failure.
The basic problem is simply this: Everyone must know what to do. Obvious enough that it is not worth talking about, right? Wrong!

Kalexo has been hard at work over the last few months adding a whole slew of new features to our product. Our market focus is also changing to include other project-based industries than just Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC).
Kalexo Teamwork 5 has a much more capabilities around file sharing and collaboration around files, in addition to streamlining the user interface and simplifying concepts. To get a quick overview what it all means, we have a short 4 minute video overview below.
We are also in the process of updating our web site, and making Kalexo Teamwork 5 generally available. At the moment, Kalexo Teamwork 5 is in beta testing, so the only way to get the software is go here (The other download links still point to Kalexo Teamwork 4).
