Evernote is preparing an application for business

In the next two months, a cross-platform application will appear, focused on use in companies. The client will have additional administrator functions, as well as an increased level of data security.



Evernote is a popular cross-platform tool for organizing photos, notes, screenshots and other information that (as the slogan says) will help the user to "Remember Everything". As of December 2011, the program had more than 20 million active users. To date, their number is approaching 30 million (approximate progress - 100,000 users per day).



Until now, Evernote has been focused mainly on students and just on individuals, but now, as CEO Phil Libin says, Evernote is starting to create a tool specifically for business. He adds that approximately 75% of users typically use the program both at home and at work.

There will be no fundamental differences between the current client and the business application. The main difference is that Evernote will offer admin level management. That is, companies and corporations will be able to acquire group accounts and control the general level of security, as well as access rights to various groups of files. This does not mean that the application can somehow be installed on your server - all data will still be processed through the cloud.



“I think that companies that in principle feel uncomfortable in the cloud will not be our customers,” says Phil. Evernote will be able to get about half of the corporate business to customers - half that is not afraid of clouds. Libin believes that the smallest demand (if it will be at all) will be from financial institutions.



In addition to the business version, several basic tools will be launched that will be more focused on the exchange of data.



The company also wants to launch a client for China by the end of the year. Still, there are also few potential users there.
