Basecamp has always been a top project management solution due to the fact that it charges a flat monthly fee regardless of how many users you have besides also being jam-packed with features. That being said, the unorthodox Basecamp pricing system has put it in a rather awkward position. While the $99/month price point is actually a pretty good deal if you’re working with large teams, it can be pretty expensive for companies of lesser scale.

The educational sector is currently going through major changes. The pandemic has made all education switch online for a while - and this was a wake-up call for many schools and universities to start investing in software for education. It is evident that the whole education system is lagging behind when it comes to digital transformation. However, the pandemic kick-started the growth of the EdTech market, which is expected to reach $404B by 2025.

Student collaboration tools are becoming increasingly important in contemporary education. When students collaborate, they are engaged in the learning process. Thus, collaboration in the classroom can lead to improved learning outcomes. However, student collaboration takes many forms today.

Jive is a well-known intranet and collaboration software. Founded in 2001, it is one of the pioneers in the team collaboration industry.

These shifts and changes have certainly created obstacles for scaling, but we are proud to announce that 2021 was a fantastic year of growth at Courier!

Messaging apps are meant to be simple, but the sheer volume of them can be overwhelming. You speak to Gran on Facebook because, let’s be honest, that’s the only app she knows how to use. Then we have Lucy over on Instagram. Your friends are split between Signal and Telegram. The family group chat is on WhatsApp, where you can’t get a word in edgeways. Your longtime work friend Jonathan keeps in touch via LinkedIn. All things work related go via email… and so on.

Digital transformation in the public sector is already a reality. More than ever, public sector organizations are becoming aware of their need for digitalization. Even so, change is not always easy since public-sector organizations have high standards and specific requirements for online solutions. Data privacy is government agencies’ top concern; they’re the ones that should set the bar when it comes to protecting users’ information.

When we ask our customers what IT teams appreciate most about Mattermost, security is often at the top of the list. The fine-grained control of Mattermost capabilities and the ownership of their critical data within Mattermost are the two most cited benefits.
