Huddle is an online, cloud-based service offering enterprise-level collaboration tools, cloud content management, and team project and task management. This product provides an account with unlimited workspaces for up to 25 users.

Benefits for Organizations

Huddle provides a communication platform for people inside and outside the office to work together. It can also be used as a tool for collaborations between staff and a board of directors, staff and consultants, or among staff at separate office locations.

Major Capabilities of This Product

• Collaboration: Team members can share text, images, and other content via whiteboards and store conversations from discussion boards. Huddle also offers a pay-as-you-go phone conferencing service (five cents per minute in the US).
• Cloud content management: Each account includes 10 GB of file storage space. Any type or size of file, including documents, images, and videos, can be shared online, previewed within Huddle, or edited collaboratively within the team. Previous versions can also be accessed by reviewing the full version history of each file.
• Team project management: Project deadlines and individual tasks can be tracked, assigned to teams or individuals, marked with status of completion, and filtered by status and due date. Files can also be attached to tasks.
