SXSW 2016 Interview: How Intraboom is Changing the Way Teams Communicate
Collaboration software has become a staple for businesses small and large that have to keep teamwork and communications flowing efficiently. The problem is that there are so many options to choose from; in fact, the Wikipedia page on the subject lists over 175 different collaborative software options. Each program ranges in the solutions it offers, the price, and the user-friendliness. With such a dizzying array of choices, it can be hard for small business owners to know what software will work best in their business.
A brand new option on the market is Intraboom. Just released this year, it is so new that it hasn’t even been added to the Wikipedia list yet. Intraboom has entered a crowded market (to say the least!) However, their unique selling proposition (USP) is that, unlike other collaboration software, they offer a simple “one and done” solution with everything a small business will need.

Intraboom offers a variety of benefits to small business owners who are tired of sorting through all of the collaboration tools available to find the one that will work best in their business. Benefits include:
- It is an all-in-one system. As you can see above, it offers pretty much anything your small business will need for collaboration and communication.
- Easy to use. Christine says she likes to call it the ‘for dummies’ version of collaboration software. It is super intuitive, requires no training, and you can master the program in no time.
- Drives up employee engagement. Businesses who are currently using Intraboom say that it makes employees more engaged and more productive.
Intraboom has entered a crowded market, for sure, but they’ve done so in a thoughtful way – distinguishing how they are different from the competition and addressing the primary customer pain points regarding collaboration software. Intraboom’s strategy is a model for all businesses who are planning to enter a competitive industry – and Intraboom itself may also be a tool to help you get there.
