Editor's Notes
- Hello everyone. I’m Zuzanna Pasierbinska-Wilson and I look after marketing at Huddle. Huddle is the enterprise content collaboration company that helps organizations across the globe to collaborate intelligently. This is our story in 7 minutes. It’s not too technical. But it does include a complimentary kitten.
- When Huddle co-founders met for the first time. Alastair was in the midst of a horrendous SharePoint implementation project and Andy was growing increasingly disillusioned with the content management tools he was recommending to his clients. It was clear to both of them, that despite technology advances in consumer products, enterprise software was lagging behind. Working together with people across and between organizations easily and efficiently, as easily as if they were sitting next or opposite them was far from reality. Out of this sheer frustrations, Huddle was born.
- When we started building our product, we looked at how people wanted to work in the enterprise. Have the working patterns have changed? How much time they spend working at their desks versus working remotely? What was their preferred way of sharing information? Our intention was not to change they way people work, but making that working frictionless.
- And in the following years, we built a single content collaboration platform for organizations to store, discover, share and work on content with whoever, whenever and wherever they need to.
- At Huddle, unlike in other social software companies, not naming any names, we’re more about doing stuff rather than talking about doing it. Ultimately, we believe that content is more valuable than conversation. As such we’ve put your content at the very core of our platform and added layers that allow you to interact around this content with other people, see what they are working on, what teams they belong to and what interest or expertise are (that’s our social layer). In our collaboration layer, we help you work on documents and projects together, share, comment, annotate and track full lifetime of your documents. At all times, your content is universally accessible – on any device, laptop or iPad, online and offline, in 15 languages and to anyone, and most importantly - internally or externally, with whom you choose to share it, securely. This is what makes Huddle ubiquitous. Security is something we take very seriously at Huddle, and not only because we work with enterprises and governments. We’re cloud-based, but we never compromise on security and uptime. In fact, we offer 99.9% uptime guarantee or your money back. Finally, we’ve added our secret sauce – the intelligence layer. We believe this is our true differentiator in the marketplace and sets us apart from all other players in ECM and social software. We’re the only company that combined ECM, social, mobile and has the answer to the big data question.
- In the age of big content, where organizations deal with humongous amount of data, fast access to information gives you an enormous competitive advantage. At Huddle, we recognized that and in the last two years developed intelligent recommendation technology (which is patent-pending). Thanks to this technology, Huddle knows about all the content across your extended enterprise ecosystem. It constantly seeks out content across the platform that may be relevant to and delivers it to you when you need it most. Think about it as your personal, intelligent content butler, who knows what content you may need before you even do. What this means in reality is that just as you prepare to start working on, let’s say, a proposal for a pharmaceutical company, our intelligent technology will find and recommend any information that is relevant to your task. You might even discover that your colleague in the Sydney office already created such a proposal. Talking about eliminating duplication of effort.
- It’d be a real shame if we built all this technology and no one was using it. Thankfully, there are already many companies that are collaborating intelligently including Diageo, Disney and Driscoll’s. We’re working with more than 100,000 organizations worldwide, including 80% of the Fortune 500. I’d say that if the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation uses Huddle over SharePoint, we must be doing something right.
- In the UK, where Huddle originated from, we work with 80% of central government departments, including the Cabinet Office, Ministry of Justice and the Met Office. Our next goal is to replicate this success in the US where we’re already working with NASA and City of Baltimore.
- Huddle is co-headquartered in London and San Francisco, with a New York City office and a Washington DC office opening later this year to fulfil the demand for the US government.
- Our mission to help organizations collaborate intelligently, positions us in the market that is worth $25bn. With the rise in demand for simple to use ECM and social software, we’ve been trebling revenues year on year. A few weeks ago, we announced our round C of funding, $24m led by Jafco Ventures, which will speed up our growth even further.
- Across these three offices, we expect to have a team of 300 in the next 12 months. We’re hiring, so if anyone here is looking for a job, let me know.
- And that’s all. If you have any questions you catch me via email or Twitter.
