Philosophy

Wrike's vision is to connect work for all information workers into a work graph (term coined by Wrike) and let people collaborate on the shared work-related data among each other, just as everyone shares their personal photos, interests and news in social networks. With work data at its center, the work graph is supposed to let people easily access the necessary data, no matter how much of it is shared with them.
