AUSTIN, TX — (Marketwire) — 12/19/12 — , the company that is revolutionizing knowledge sharing in business, today announced the launch of the Bloomfire iOS App for iPhone and iPad. The announcement and introduction to the App Store rounds off an exciting year of forward momentum and growth for the company, including the announcement of a $10M Series A financing from Austin Ventures and Redpoint Ventures, relocation of the company to Austin, substantial enhancements to the application and the addition of nearly 200 companies and organizations to the Bloomfire paid customer roster in 2012 alone.
As the content management, social enterprise, cloud file sharing and learning management markets continue to converge, the new Bloomfire app builds upon the ability to rapidly access expertise and stored knowledge within a company no matter the location or time — mission critical activities that allow for companies to capitalize on a more informal and “of-the-moment” learning exchange. The Bloomfire app on iPhone and iPad enables mobile and distributed workers to create and post multimedia content, ask questions and generate collectively derived answers, discuss topics in open communities, find and interact with colleagues and experts within the community, and flex the wisdom needed to learn new skills and get the job done.
“Knowledge sharing doesn-t just happen in the office between 8 am and 5 pm anymore,” said Craig Malloy, CEO and co-founder of Bloomfire. “It is necessary for businesses to adapt to the fundamental ways in which employees live and operate, which is on-the-go via their mobile phones and tablets. The Bloomfire app reinforces a company culture that inspires and maintains a plugged-in and engaged distributed workforce, one that feeds knowledge and learning back to the team in real-time, no matter their physical location.”
