Central Desktop 2.0 is here!

Wednesday, February 24, 2010 by Kobie Fuller
One of our portfolio companies, Central Desktop, a collaboration software provider, just launched the next release of their product Central Desktop 2.0. We provided venture capital financing to the expansion stage company 2 years ago and with our operational support they have seen substantial growth over this time period.

Feature highlights are below:


* New User Interface - Central Desktop's redesigned user interface provides a more intuitive, user-friendly experience that accelerates time to value and encourages user engagement. The new layout includes a workspace creation wizard, workspace templating, new drop down menus, customizable tabs and configurable settings.

* Online File Viewer - The expanded file preview feature supports more than 200 different file types including Microsoft Office files, PDFs, JPEGs, TIFs, CAD files and Adobe Photoshop files. Files can be viewed instantly within Central Desktop's environment, eliminating the need to install licensed software that is required to open some file types.

* Improved Wiki Navigation - To make organizing online documents even easier, wiki pages can now be rearranged by simply dragging and dropping pages within a wiki tree, giving a hierarchical structure to ordinarily flat wiki pages. 

* PDF Creator - Convert, download and share any file type as a PDF with a single click directly from Central Desktop.

* Internal Blogs and Forums - Central Desktop 2.0's forum and blog feature is improved with a new interface and friendlier layout. A corporate blog, project blog or discussion forum can be created in seconds and used to share thoughts, make announcements or capture the evolution of ideas and projects.

* Page Favorites - Frequently visited pages or files can be easily marked as favorites for quicker access.

* Avatars - Central Desktop 2.0 uses avatars consistently throughout the platform to identify users and accompany their recent activity. An avatar can easily be created by uploading and cropping a picture online, within Central Desktop.
