Basecamp Integrates with Harvest

In a world of more focused or niche based web services such as Harvest, integrations are going to continue to be key (as I’ve noted in the past).

Time tracking tool Harvest is now integrating with Basecamp. From the Harvest Gazette:

If your organization currently uses Basecamp in conjunction with Harvest for time tracking, things just got a whole lot easier. Harvest admins can now avoid any form of double-entry when it comes to setting up users, clients, or projects. Simply pick the people or projects you’d like to import from Basecamp and you are ready to go. Imported users will receive an automatically-generated Harvest welcome message along with their temporary password.

Basecamp is in many ways set to be what SalesForce’s AppExchange is becoming in the CRM space – one of the definitive places for project management based integrations.

SalesGenius – Qualify Sales Leads Instantly

Ken Yarmosh — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 15:43:41 +0000

SalesGenius is a product of Genius.com Incorporated. It’s an invaluable tool used to track e-mails, their open rates, and potential website visits from prospects and other sales leads.

It can be used directly from Outlook via a plugin or simply from the web. I’ve often wondered why e-mail was not “smarter” – SalesGenius really is ingenious.

I used SalesGenius through a 15-day trial and found it quite useful, especially because one of my gigs focuses on sales. By sending my e-mail through the SalesGenius Server, I was able to track who did and who did not open my e-mails (as well as if they visited my site). That’s very helpful from a sales perspective. While there are other services that do something similar to SalesGenius, none let you do it from the comfort of Outlook.

Per the website, SalesGenius is “the first of many great personal web analytics products in the Genius product line.” So, I expect to hear more about them in the future.
