Colaab

Project type: Products

The real-time collaboration that Colaab has to offer allows teams to work on a project as if they were sitting around a table – even if they’re at opposite ends of the world.

Storm Ideas’ first ever product, Colaab pushed the boundaries of what was truly possible with Microsoft Silverlight, in a world in which more and more employees are working remotely.

Offering real time collaboration through a rich yet simple user interface, Colaab is loaded with quality features that make it the perfect service for collaborating with others on a variety of resources. Annotate and comment on resources with others in real-time, pan and zoom around massive images instantly, or use the discussion hub to chat via browser, conference call or SMS.

Oh, and all this is 100% in the browser.

Microsoft called the user experience “intuitive” with “collaboration functions that make it easy to engage others”, Mashable praised it for its “pretty exterior and souped up interior”, while Web Worker Daily called the app “elegant, clean and superior aesthetically”. Not bad for a first try.
