CentralDesktop, provider of on-demand collaboration platform, has launched its integration with Salesforce.com that provides Customer Extranets for Salesforce. Available through AppExchange, Customer Extranets can significantly streamline post sales communication and support for SF customers. These Extranets can very well be suited for collaboration with your customers and partners through Salesforce itself, instead being forced to signup for an external portal service.
This integration brings in the full capabilities of CentralDesktop’s collaboration platform to Salesforce. You can invite your customers into a white-label private extranet that offers features including Project Management, Tasklist assignment, Document management, email integration, group calendars, and search for discussion threads+documents. Collaborative content and documents created from each of the extranets can prove to a good knowledgebase for companies and can be utilized to support future customers instead of getting lost in email transactions.
As with its other products, CentralDesktop is offering a very aggressive pricing for Extranets that starts at $4.00/per extranet for minimum of 25 Extranets/users and can even come for as cheap as $1.50/per extranet for 1000 Extranets/users.
I also got sneak-peak of another interesting integration coming up at CentralDesktop – Online Collaborative Spreadsheets. This exciting feature is currently being tested in private beta would generally available pretty soon.
{Wiki Document + Spreadsheets + Tasklists + Calendar + Conferencing + File Storage + Discussions + Reports + Extranets} makes CentralDesktop one of my favorite team based collaboration destination. Keep up the good work Isaac and Arnulf.

Near-Time has a lot of catching up to do in terms of the technology it should develop. Like getting a custom WYSIWYG editor that goes beyond the standard functionality of TinyMce would help Near-Time extend its document editing capabilites. [...]

[...] CentralDesktop team is making sure that they don’t end up reinventing the wheel and still integrate the best web-based applications in their solid collaboration platform. So last month CentralDesktop got together with EditGrid in a new partnership that enables CD users to create spreadsheets right from their workspace. This is the 3rd major revenue generation hookup in the past 40 days for the best web-based spreadsheet provider. Earlier EditGrid had announced pricing for Company/Team based access and also launched its integration with Salesforce. CentralDesktop had also done similar integration with Salesforce earlier this year in form of Customer Extranets. [...]
