After having a workable version of his software, he founded AtTask, along with Abe Knell, Jason Fletcher and Nate Bowler.〔〔 In July 2001, AtTask released @task, a project management tool designed for businesses. The nascent company was boot-strapped and funded in part by a second mortgage Johnson took out on his home.〔 Johnson decided to completely rewrite the company's project management platform in 2003.〔〔 The rewritten version of @task was finished and released in 2006.〔〔 Joseph Cardenas joined AtTask’s board of directors in April 2007. Prior to joining AtTask, Cardenas served as a partner at Counterpoint Advisers and CIO of Salesforce.com.〔 In June 2007, AtTask received $7 million in funding from OpenView Venture Partners.〔 The $7 million investment equaled more than twice AtTask's 2006 revenue.〔 OpenView's investment was the first outside investment accepted by AtTask.〔 OpenView invested an additional $6.5 million in December 2009. In 2011, Eric Morgan replaced founder Scott Johnson as president and CEO of AtTask.〔 Johnson became chairman of AtTask.〔 In November 2012, AtTask raised $17 million in venture capital in a funding round led by Greenspring Associates.〔 The company raised an additional $38 million in a January 2014 funding round led by JMI Equity.〔 The 2014 funding round was their fourth and included an additional investment by Greenspring Associations. The company announced a 50 percent year-over-year subscription growth rate. In 2012, a team of five employees was formed to research interest with marketing teams leading the company to expand the team and grow the marketing growth segment.〔 In 2015, AtTask was renamed to Workfront. Workfront raised a $33 million Series E funding led by JMI Equity along with investments from Greenspring Global Partners and Atlas Peak in 2015. The company has raised a total of $95 million in venture capital to date.〔 In that same year, Workfront acquired online proofing vendor and partner ProofHQ, a London-based provider of online proofing software. The acquisition integrated over 350 joint clients between the two companies, however, ProofHQ continues to be sold separately.〔 Workfront developed a Game of Thrones-themed infographic for mobile phone etiquette, which used humor to show statistics of the most common office communication pitfalls and office attitudes toward common witnessed behaviors. The concept was built upon the “seven houses” of the workplace: multitasking, awkwardness, carelessness, courtesy, over-calling, non-communication and obliviousness. In 2014, the company received a B2B Oscar for Best Call to Action for its humorous video, “The Working Dead.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Workfront」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
