Workshare is a provider of secure enterprise file sharing and collaboration[1] applications.[2] Workshare allows individuals to create, share, and manage high-value content from any device. Content owners are able to track and compare changes in documents from contributors simultaneously.[3]

History

In 1999, UK technology entrepreneur Barrie Hadfield co-founded Workshare, a provider of client-server document comparison software.[4] Workshare’s applications are used by legal and professional services organizations to track changes in contracts and documents. In 2012, Workshare merged with Skydox,[5] also founded by Barrie Hadfield, a provider of cloud-enabled document collaboration software for the enterprise sector. Scottish Equity Partners and Business Growth Fund[6] invested £20m in the deal.[7]

Workshare also acquired IdeaPlane, an enterprise social network, in 2012.[8]
