RTM Business Edition
consta says:
Do you guys every think about making an business edition?
This would be very similar to your current product, but with a few extra feature...
* The ability to assign tasks to a person
* Integration with LDAP or the ability to import all business users.
* A simple admin interface for managing users.
* Possibly a simple permission system that would allow for private or semi-private tasks.
* Unique domains for business customers like xyzcompany.RTM.com
I'm thinking this would be a variation of 37 Signals Basecamp that would focus on enterprise task management. Maybe you could create a new acronym ETM (does this exist yet?)
Some use cases:
* RTM could be an alternative to the IT help desk. Users would create an IT "list" and assign tasks to the IT department like "my computer keeps crashing." RTM would send a notification to the IT department letting them know about the task and who posted it. They could then mark it off when done.
* RTM could be used to manage general tasks by department. Users could create "department" lists and manage tasks.
* RTM could manage a businesses annual "task list." Plenty of businesses have recurring tasks that need to be done. Sometimes we learn about tasks that we can't complete until far into the future. RTM could help businesses log future tasks and ensure their completion.
* RTM could manage safety checklists. Our company has safety related tasks we need to complete each month. We also need to document their completion. RTM could help a safety manager ensure these tasks are done and provide a log.
There isn't anyone yet playing in this space. You guys have a great application, with exceptional usability. II'm interested to see how other would feel about a hosted business edition of RTM.
