Threads Software App wins High Impact award for Global Entrepreneurship Week 2014
Threads Webinar has won a High Impact award by the team behind Global Entrepreneurship Week 2014.
A cloud based software service, Threads combines all a company's emails so files, contacts and projects details can be found more easily and quickly
Threads software app’s Webinar has been recognised as a High Impact event by the team behind Global Entrepreneurship Week 2014.
The webinar called ‘Rapidly improve collaboration, knowledge sharing, and productivity’ attracted an international audience, and ran as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) which each year encourages more people to start up their own business.
David Fox, who ran the seminar, is technical manager of JPY plc, who developed Threads. 'We are proud to be involved, and especially to be recognised as a High Impact event. The theme for this year’s GEW was The Power of Global Connections, and this fits in perfectly with how Threads is helping businesses.' he explained.
"Business culture is changing radically as recognition grows of the importance of enabling access to, and fully mine, a company’s data. Email and other digital communications contain huge amounts of a company’s data - files, contacts and projects’ details - that could only be accessed by an individual’s account - until now. Threads combines all mail, for example, into a single database that everyone can access, search and find the information they need. It’s one means for utilizing the ‘Big Data’ that the world is beginning to talk about. Whereas a generation ago it was regarded as ‘my data’, today’s entrepreneurs are recognising the value of making it ‘our data’. It’s a cultural change, and one for better business practice." David concludes.
World-renowned entrepreneurs have participated in Global Entrepreneurship Week activities, such as Richard Branson, Virgin Group, Michael Dell, Dell Computers and Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank (and winner of Nobel Peace Prize).
Threads won a global Innovation award recently, when the chairman of the judging panel described it as "an intelligent software product that makes sense of the multitude of digital communications. It is a godsend to productivity and will change the way we work."
The next webinar runs Thursday 8th January –register your interest here or via Threads website

JPY Plc is one of the most established software companies in the UK, starting in 1982.
When it migrated its customer records from steel cabinets to digital disks, staff noticed that the gains made in digitisation were matched by a loss in collaboration. With a filing cabinet, staff had access to a physical, paper customer file - and it was obvious when someone else was working on it. The replacement digital versions mostly ended up hidden in private user emails. Worse, despite the phenomenal searching power of computers, users still had trouble finding documents or messages.
As computer scientists working in the field of high-performance workflow, JPY were ideally placed to find a solution, and the result is a software service called Threads®.
"Threads weaves all your company's messages together, helping ensure it’s unrivalled, not unravelled." Quentin Cooper, science journalist, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Material World
