Company Profile

oneDrum is a simple desktop application that enables real-time document collaboration, initially for MS Office. The peer-to-peer collaboration platform provides users with the ability to share files and edit documents simultaneously without the need to save or reopen.

oneDrum is designed for businesses without an IT department, and anyone that shares files and works on documents with others.

oneDrum's beta platform is free to use and currently works with Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint (Word is in the next release). The first public version is due to launch in April 2011 and an Application Programming Interface (API) is scheduled for September that will enable developers to make any web or desktop document collaborative.

• Share files simply
• Edit documents at the same time
