DeskAway is a software as a service application for team-based project management and collaboration developed by Synage Software Pvt. Ltd.[1] located in Mumbai, India.[2] The company was founded by Sahil Parikh[3] and Sitanshi Talati-Parikh in 2005 and launched DeskAway as a public beta in late 2007 with a tagline that states 'simplify work'.

History

DeskAway was developed in 2006,[4] taking off on the concept that businesses function more efficiently using a central system to collaborate and track work as opposed to traditional methods like email or spreadsheets.[5] Finally, in late 2007 DeskAway was launched to the public. Since then it has been updated with new social features,[6] user interface customizations and changes.

Features

DeskAway provides project and task management, milestone, issues, wiki-style document management, task lists, file sharing,[7] internal blogs, calendar, contacts, messaging, personal email reminders, reports, user interface customizations, security, and integration with FreshBooks and Google Apps. On August 2010 it was included on the Google Apps Marketplace.[8]
