Every ticket your team closes today makes the next one a little easier. That's not a metaphor, it's literally how Dotty works. Dotty is the AI Teammate built into Teamwork Desk. It drafts replies from your help docs and resolved tickets, surfaces the ticket that already solved this exact problem, and summarizes hand-offs so context isn't lost. Your agents review and send: nothing goes out untouched. But the real story isn't any one of those skills. It's what they're building together.

The quotes that hurt in my agency years weren't the ones we lost. They were the ones we won, priced fast from a blended rate and a gut feel on hours, then underwater a few weeks into delivery. I work at Teamwork.com now, after nearly a decade in agencies. Back then, quoting lived in spreadsheets next to a basic timer, so no quote ever saw what the team actually cost. Most guides judge quoting software on how fast and how good a quote looks.

Before I joined Teamwork.com, I spent years running delivery in agencies. Most switches I saw started with the right complaint and the wrong cure: Wrike felt heavy, so teams moved somewhere lighter. Adoption jumped, but by the next quarterly review nobody could say which projects had made money. That gap is common. When Teamwork.com's The Sprint to AI report asked senior leaders at client service firms where their tools fall short, 38% cited profitability management.

Debbie Levitt, CXO of Delta CX, refused to bring AI into her work for a long time. Three years ago she tested the tools, found they couldn’t think critically or get basic facts right, and kept them out of her process. A year later, despite her initial disappointment, she decided to run an experiment based on her real work, and was amazed by the results.

We’re delighted to share that openDesk now deploys Element Server Suite (ESS) directly from Element. The Element frontend still reflects the openDesk product and branding, but now openDesk deploys Element Server Suite (ESS) directly from Element, the original manufacturer and product owner of the software. It brings hardened Kubernetes deployments, next-generation OIDC-based authentication and the complete ESS feature set to Germany’s sovereign office productivity suite.

Keep your Zendesk plan and give your team a live view of what needs attention. Geckoboard connects directly to Zendesk and puts queue size, response times and team performance on a shared dashboard. See queues building and response times slipping while there’s still time to act. Your team gets the numbers to respond, and you can stop being the person who has to spot every problem.

Bringing an external partner into a conversation shouldn't mean an all-or-nothing choice between locking them out entirely or handing over full access. Wire Drive now offers a middle ground: temporary guests and outside team participants will get view-only access to shared files by default, so collaboration stays open without the risk.

Workplace communication has changed significantly as businesses have adopted remote work, hybrid teams, and digital collaboration tools. Employees now rely on messaging platforms to exchange information, discuss projects, ask questions, and coordinate daily responsibilities. While fast communication can improve productivity, businesses also need to consider how workplace conversations and shared information are protected.

Online retail, store replenishment, subscriptions, and wholesale orders all move through a warehouse differently. Treat them the same and you get delays, extra handling, and inventory that nobody quite trusts. That is why more businesses are moving away from one-size-fits-all fulfillment and building processes around their own products, channels, and customers.

Multiple person detection software uses AI webcam analysis to count the people in front of a work screen and alert security teams when anyone other than the authorized user appears. It runs face and person detection on sampled frames, tracks faces over time, verifies the logged-in employee, and applies policy rules such as blurring the screen or locking the session.
