Clarizen Launches Vertical Markets Strategy

By DE Editors

Clarizen (Mountain View, CA) announced a vertical market strategy that includes an open API within the newest version of its on-demand project management software, Clarizen 2.1. As a part of this strategy, Clarizen also announced a partnership with SolidWorks.

Clarizen 2.1 enables project managers across manufacturing, design, and services industries to seamlessly integrate their project management solution with the various systems they use everyday to execute their projects.

Integration between SolidWorks and Clarizen allows design engineers to easily attach a CAD drawing to their project tasks for collaboration with their team member, customer, or supplier to create new project tasks or update the status of their tasks directly from within their SolidWorks system. This integrated environment lets engineers streamline the execution of their projects and ensures nothing gets overlooked as they work on multiple projects at the same time.

Clarizen also has leveraged its open API to provide similar integration with Microsoft Outlook, making it easier for managers to create project tasks for team members in Clarizen within their e-mail. Clarizen will continue to integrate with other vendors that provide solutions for marketing, engineering, and manufacturing environments to ensure that users can update or create new project tasks and share key information from within other industry-specific systems.
