Thred charges Whitaker with role of forging ties with Microsoft


Published on: Oct 5, 2016 | by finfeed

Unified Social Messaging and Social E-commerce Platform operator, Thred (ASX: THD), announced on Tuesday morning that it had made changes to its Board of Directors and management team in order to amplify its focus on delivering product quickly, including the fast tracking of its global rollout and commercialisation opportunities.

In terms of commercial opportunities, THD more specifically referred to the potential for product development and partnerships following recent progress the company has made with Microsoft.

In particular, management referred to the development of its next-generation social media application across the Microsoft Office 365 suite of products, as part of the company’s BizSpark Plus partnership.

It is still early days in this partnership and there is no guarantee that it will improve revenues for THD, so if considering this stock for your portfolio seek professional financial advice.

The group sees this as an important move in terms of becoming the messaging and collaboration tool across the Microsoft Office 365 suite of products.





From a technological perspective, the integrated service will enable existing and future users to enjoy THD functionality and communicate from within all Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, including the ability to have real-time chat sessions within Microsoft’s flagship email product, Outlook and integration with search engine, Bing, is expected to follow.

Thred Lodges Microsoft Word Plug-In with Microsoft

Microsoft is currently performing its internal review on the plug-in .

Subject to completion of that review Thred will finalise its internal release processes before propagating the plug-in into the Microsoft Office Store.

Thred intends to announce full details of how Threders can get the plug - in at that time.

(Can this integration can enable MSFT to compete with www.Slack.com - billion-dollar usa company with 2m users- when fully functional ?)
