Teamwork is an Irish, privately owned, web-based software company headquartered in Cork, Ireland. Teamwork creates task management and team collaboration software, and its three main products relate to project management, customer support, and internal communications.[9] Founded in 2007, as of 2016 the company stated that its software was in use by over 370,000 organisations worldwide (including Disney, Spotify and HP),[10] and that it had over 2.4m users.[11]

Company history

Peter Coppinger and Dan Mackey founded a company, Digital Crew, in 2007. This company built websites, intranets and custom web-based solutions for clients in Cork, Ireland. Frustrated by whiteboards and software management tools, Coppinger wanted a software system that would help manage client projects and which would be easy-to-use and generic enough to be used by different types of companies. Originally 37signals Basecamp users themselves, Coppinger and Mackey were frustrated by the limited feature set and by Basecamp's apparent inaction on their feedback.[12][13] In October 2007, Coppinger and Mackey launched Teamwork Project Manager, nicknamed TeamworkPM. In March 2015, this was renamed as Teamwork Projects.[14]

In 2014, after two years of negotiations, TeamworkPM bought the domain name 'Teamwork.com' for US$675,000 (€500,000).[15] At the time this was one of the most expensive domain name purchases by an Irish company, and involved the transfer of a domain name which had been dormant since it was first acquired by the original owner in 1999.[16][17]

In 2015, Teamwork was named by Gartner to be one of their "Cool Vendors" in the Program and Portfolio Management Category.[18] This was followed by the launch of a new real-time messaging product, Teamwork Chat, in January 2015. In June 2015, the company announced a drive to recruit for 40 positions by the end of the year.[19] This was followed by the announcement that the company was investing more than €1 million in a new office,[20] and had leased office space in Park House, Blackpool.[21]

In June 2016, Teamwork undertook a further recruitment drive to entice developers to Cork.[22]

  • In 2016, Teamwork was named number 7 in Deloitte's Fast 50 tech companies hit €1.6bn turnover.[25]
  • In 2015, Teamwork was identified as a Gartner "Cool Vendor" in the Program and Portfolio Mangagement Category.[26]
