“Our winning companies are all in on a secret. Treating employees well isn’t that difficult, and the payoff — increased morale, retention, and productivity — is huge,” said Katie Johnston, the Globe’s Top Places to Work editor.

The rankings in the Top Places to Work are based on confidential survey information collected by Energage (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from nearly 75,060 individuals at 334 Massachusetts organizations. The winners share a few key traits, including offering progressive benefits, giving their employees a voice, and encouraging them to have some fun while they’re at it. Top Places to Work online extras include sortable rankings and photo galleries.

Xtensio Launches ‘Xtensio For Business’ for Full-funnel Document Management

New Productivity Suite Helps Businesses Create, Manage and Share Visual Document and Presentations

Xtensio, a SaaS-based document collaboration platform, announces the launch of its newest offering, Xtensio For Business. This new all-in-one productivity suite is a private and branded space designed specifically for agencies, consultancies, startups, and companies looking to streamline the creation and management of their visual and strategic collateral.

Alper Cakir

Alper Cakir, Founder and CEO, Xtensio, said, “Xtensio For Business is the next step in the evolution of work and we are proud to see some of the world’s most prestigious companies, universities, non-profits, and startups sync on Xtensio. Xtensio For Business comes at a time where we use more tools than ever to create our work, yet we need new ways to streamline our processes.”

“Xtensio For Business provides a solution that lets everyone create, and share their documents and projects in a safe, online space, removing redundant steps and tools out of the equation,” added Alper.

Team Space features include;

  • A ‘partial white-labeled’ solution called Team Space: Space is private and branded with a company’s logo and custom URL.
  • No attachments needed: Live documents are always up to date and responsive to all screens. When a user is ready to share, he/she can send a web link or present documents in full-screen (they can download them as a PDF or PNG, too).
  • Increases quality and efficiency: Users can create visual and strategic collateral with the ease of a web-builder and they can streamline their processes with toolboxes. Toolboxes in the suite include guiding templates, editable examples, and ‘how-to’ guides for every step of their workflow, from strategy and operations to business development and marketing.
  • Saves time and money:  Templates can be saved and used within a company’s team or they can be shared with the world. Ultimately, this shortens design and decision time.
  • Boosts productivity:  Team members, clients, and stakeholders can be looped in to collaborate on projects in real-time and control access levels to keep work secure.
  • Manages progress straight from the app:  Basic analytics of a team’s projects are readily available, including open rates, how many collaborators are working on the folio, and how many edits have been made, how many revisions there are.

Robin Bramman, Founder and CEO, Brandtini, said, “Xtensio is my go-to tools app where I can build out my own branded templates to use in presenting my clients brand visual work kits. I also value the ability to collaborate with my team on projects, as Team Space allows for multiple levels of collaboration. I am very  excited about creating new templates using Team Space.”

Alper added, “With Xtensio For Business, companies can save their own branded templates and create their organization’s unique framework. Xtensio helps reach and communicate strategic decisions more effectively while easing the document/presentation flow with clients, investors, and other stakeholders.”

Xtensio was initially created as an easy alternative for startups looking to create “one pagers”. This platform has since transformed to offer presentation tools for a variety of industry and individual needs. Xtensio For Business includes interactive and collaborative templates for entrepreneurs, marketers, designers and project managers.

Tact.ai Accelerates Sales Transformation at Fortune 500 Customers by Bringing CRM to the Intelligent Edge

First omnichannel AI-powered assistant for sales teams named 2017 Digital Innovation Award Winner by Ventana Research

Tact.ai, the sales experience platform for the intelligent edge, announced further expansion of the Tact Sales Assistant among its Fortune 500 customers. The company furthered its integration with LinkedIn, becoming the first omnichannel AI-powered assistant on the new LinkedIn Sales Navigator Application Platform. Tact.ai was also selected over 27 companies spanning 9 different categories as the winner of the 2017 Digital Innovation Awards by Ventana Research, and saw two of its Fortune 100 customers highlighted in a report on sales transformation successes.

Tact.ai changes how salespeople work at Fortune 500 customers like GE, Cisco Systems, Kelly Services and others by delivering the first omnichannel AI-powered digital assistant for sales teams. By leveraging the generational platform shift from PC browser-based apps to the new world of mobile, voice and conversational AI-powered experiences, the Tact Sales Assistant acts as a salesperson’s single pane of glass over customer data scattered across CRM, LinkedIn, Zendesk, email, calendar, Box, OneDrive and legacy databases. For companies struggling with CRM adoption, Tact’s frictionless experience and contextual insights deliver greater sales productivity, higher win rates, and faster sales cycles.

Tact.ai was appointed the winner of the 2017 Digital Innovation Awards for “helping organizations innovate or enhance the productivity and outcomes” of their digital transformation initiatives. Ventana Research picked a group of finalists that “showcase advances in the productivity and potential of business applications as well as technology that contributes significantly to improved efficiency, productivity and the performance of an organization” and awarded Tact.ai with the highest scores out of all companies in this year’s competition.

As one of the six sales acceleration companies selected as a launch partner, Tact.ai became the first omnichannel AI powered assistant to integrate with the new LinkedIn Sales Navigator Application Platform. Sellers now get fuller and more consistent representation of LinkedIn people and company profiles, expanded search capabilities and strong reporting to align sales analytics and initiatives across teams using different systems.

Sales leaders from GE, Cisco, and IBM outlined their best approaches to steering successful sales transformation in a new report, revealing how these global organizations aligned goals from numerous departments — such as reduced sales cycles, greater data fidelity and tighter organizational collaboration through deal closure — to offer its salespeople a new kind of selling experience.
