MONTREAL — WorkJam, a digital workplace for convenience stores and other businesses with frontline employees, is releasing the next evolution of its Frontline Digital Workplace Platform with WorkJam Everywhere.

WorkJam's frontline productivity platform now has omnipresent availability and the capacity to integrate with any program, including Teams, SharePoint, BlueYonder, UKG, ADP, Salesforce and home-grown systems. WorkJam is accelerating its partner ecosystem and is welcoming new partners to deliver its platform.

“By being able to embed the advanced employee experiences of WorkJam into Microsoft Teams or other strategic platforms, our customers are now able to consume WorkJam and orchestrate their workforce based on their specific and individualized needs,” said Bob Clements, CEO of Axsium Group.

WorkJam Everywhere takes WorkJam's capabilities and modularizes them to be pluggable into a variety of employee-facing technologies and devices. WorkJam Everywhere builds on the already existing functionality of the WorkJam application. All WorkJam Everywhere modules can function independently but remain fully interoperable with each other as the business need grows.

“This evolution of WorkJam offers flexibility to the market as businesses work to fully orchestrate their frontline workforces,” said Steven Kramer, president and CEO of WorkJam.

As part of the launch, WorkJam Everywhere is now available on Microsoft Teams and can be found on the Teams app store. This integration enables customers to access the Frontline Worker Orchestration capabilities of WorkJam directly in Teams. In addition to the modules, WorkJam has developed a set of Azure deployment services to aid with deploying to the frontline at scale—keeping all systems in sync and adjusting to employee turnover.

“Partners like WorkJam are leveraging the Teams platform extensibility to deliver solutions that help our customers collaborate more effectively across their teams and employees,” said Kirk Koenigsbauer, chief operating officer of Microsoft experiences and devices division.

The initial release of WorkJam Everywhere allows for platform-agnostic integration as well as apps available today on the Teams app store with more partners to be announced later this year.

WorkJam, based in Montreal, delivers task management, shift management, survey and micro-learning tools in more than 38 countries.
