We are extremely excited to announce that we have been selected as a finalist for the 2017 Richmond Technology awards! Our Slack chatbot Kelasa has been nominated as a finalist for the Innovation in Development Award. Some of the other nominees in this category include CarMax, Snagajob, Chmura and Envera.
Kelasa, Kel for short, is a friendly chatbot that integrates Slack and Workfront. Kelasa allowed teams to work and collaborate in a faster, more efficient way. If you aren’t familiar with either Slack or Workfront, here’s a quick overview.
Slack is a cloud based team collaboration tool that allows users to communicate in a faster, more efficient way. At Kova, we are huge Slack-er’s. With Slack, you are able to setup specific channels for different groups of people as well as having the ability to direct message a person individually. You can upload documents, host conference calls and even add some fun emoji’s to your comments 😉
Workfront is a cloud-based, enterprise software for work and marketing project management. Some of Workfront’s features include work management, issue tracking, document management time tracking and portfolio management.
When we saw the ability to build chatbots, we immediately recognized their power to improve how work is done. So that is where the idea for Kelasa was created. We realized the opportunity we had to create a more effective way for teams to do work on both Workfront and Slack.
