SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce
[NYSE: CRM], the global leader in CRM, today announced Quip Slides,
redefining the collaboration suite. With documents, spreadsheets,
chat and now slides, Quip delivers a single canvas that empowers
teams to collaborate and make decisions faster than ever.
Additionally, with deeper Salesforce and third-party integrations
with Box and Dropbox, teams can embed even more live data and tools
within Quip.
"The introduction of Quip Slides is a game-changer for our
customers," said Kevin Gibbs,
co-founder & CEO, Quip. "Quip fuels a culture of
action—combining documents, spreadsheets and now slides with chat,
live data and AI—allowing our customers to work faster and be more
productive."
"Customer experiences and employee experiences are demanding the
same easy-to-use technology at work, that they already use at
home," said Wayne Kurtzman, Research
Director, IDC. "Quip's addition of Slides, new Live Apps and deeper
Salesforce integrations are a significant step in delivering those
experiences."
Transforming the Collaboration Suite
The
collaboration suite has not kept pace with the way teams work
today. Teams expect fully connected, always on, mobile-first
experiences that enable them to work together, faster.
Unfortunately, collaboration solutions have largely remained
stagnant. They are still a collection of disparate, disconnected
apps that are built primarily for the desktop, lack real-time data,
and are highly ineffective in bringing teams together in any
meaningful way -- leading to a heavier reliance on emails,
attachments and content versioning that ultimately slows
productivity. Unlike legacy collaboration suites of the past, Quip
brings together documents, spreadsheets, chat and apps with live
data into a single canvas—creating a culture of action that enables
teams to work together, faster. Built mobile-first, new updates to
Quip include slides, additional third-party Live Apps and deeper
Salesforce integrations—transforming the modern collaboration
suite.
Quip Slides empowers teams to create interactive, social
presentations. Seventy-nine percent of slides created never see the
big stage, instead they are used for internal meetings, managing
projects and trainings1. Quip Slides was
created with this in mind, featuring live Salesforce and
third-party data, interactive prompts for feedback and insights
powered by artificial intelligence—to move work forward, faster.
Now with Quip Slides, teams can create presentations using:
- Real-time Collaboration—Built-in chat, co-editing and
commenting capabilities that enable teams to create version-free
slides and presentations together, faster.
- Charting—Interactive charts connect to real-time data in
Quip Spreadsheets and Salesforce Reports to keep Slides up-to-date,
eliminating the drudgery of copy and pasting the latest data for
every weekly meeting.
- Live Data—Embedded directly in Quip, data from
Salesforce and third-party systems is presented through Live Apps,
delivering up-to-date content within any slide.
- Interactive Feedback Prompts—Questions, polls and
comment prompts can be embedded on any slide, enabling teams to
engage audiences, get feedback and drive decisions quickly and
interactively.
- Engagement Insights—Intelligently surface and measure
engagement data—including which stakeholders have opened the
presentation, which slides have the most engagement activity and
where engagement decreases—within any presentation, empowering
employees to make smarter and more informed decisions.
Additionally, Einstein artificial intelligence delivers suggestions
like who to follow up with to drive decision-making.
Partner-built Live Apps allow teams to embed third-party
data and functionality into any Quip document or slide. New
partner-built Live Apps include:
- Box Files Viewer Live App—Enables users to embed
specific Box files and folders directly into Quip documents to
accelerate collaboration. With the Box Files Viewer Live App teams
can access and manage key project files embedded directly within
Quip mobile documents.
- Dropbox Live App—Now users and teams can insert a
Dropbox folder directly within Quip to better stay in flow. With
Dropbox for Quip, users and teams can navigate through folders and
subfolders, in order to easily view, open and download any of the
files inside Dropbox.
Native integrations between Quip and Salesforce enable
teams to embed documents and spreadsheets directly within the
Sales Cloud Lightning or Service Cloud Lightning Consoles. Now
workflows are streamlined, enabling sales reps and service agents
alike to capture notes, ideas and analysis without transferring
work between applications or windows.
