I’ll take that as a compliment if that’s the major difference (although I know that there are significant other differences between the way Wrike processes messages and the way Mailmanagr/Basecamp handles them).

J Lane is right. When looking an application, companies take their internal working style into consideration. Most businesses heavily depend on email and manage projects with its help. Wrike used this fact an introduced its Intelligent Email Engine TM. Now Basecamp guys also noticed this fact. The major difference between Wrike and Basecamp email integration is that Wrike was originally developed with it and Basecamp needs add-on services.

Thanks for the write-up Scott!

If your folks are really that resistant to logging in though, you may want to consider if you have made the right choice to accommodate the work style of our clients and co-workers.

I think that’s a really interesting point: when people are making software decisions about something like Basecamp (or activecollab, wrike, whatever), who’s working style to you consider more strongly: the client, or your team?

Basecamp is heavily used by small to medium-sized web shops (among others). It’s safe to say (although not universally true) that most people working internally in one of these organizations would be pretty comfortable working with a product like Basecamp; what should you do if you’ve got a client that isn’t though?
