ShareMethods is a Web 2.0 document management and collaboration service with a focus on sales, marketing, and the extended selling network. It offers a software as a service (SaaS) subscription service to companies that is available as a stand alone application or integrated with CRM tools such as Oracle CRM On Demand or salesforce.com.[1]

History

ShareMethods was launched in 2004 to provide collaboration and communication services for sales and marketing teams, business partners, and customers. The founders have a background of building software-as-a-service applications and creating digital media applications. September 2005, ShareMethods launched "ShareNow" as one of the first applications on the salesforce.com AppExchange. In September 2006, ShareMethods moved its operations into a SAS 70 Type II data center owned by Sungard.[2] In March 2009, ShareMethods launched "ShareSpaces" to provide on-demand portals or workspaces. In 2013 ShareMethods announced that its platform is available in a private cloud (on-premises) version.
