Facebook launches free version of 'Workplace' for NGOs
San Francisco, June 21 : Making inroads into the non-profit segment, Facebook has launched a free version of its enterprise communications app 'Workplace' to make working better, smarter and faster for charities and non-governmental organisations.
Named "Workplace for Good", the app would donate work-essential mobile, video, communication and collaboration tools free of charge to organisations like World Wildlife Fund, United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) and more.
"We're giving 'Workplace for free' to non-profits and staff at educational institutions globally, so they can build meaningful communities and create change around the world," Annette Gevaert, Head, Workplace For Good, Facebook, wrote in a blog post late on Wednesday.
Additionally, the app also comes integrated with tools like "OxBot" which is a jargon-busting bot that provides a link to internal sources of information, increasing accessibility options.
"We're also renewing our commitment to #ImpactCloud, a coalition of technology companies including Workplace, Salesforce, Box, Okta and Microsoft, working together to help accelerate digital transformation and impact for humanitarian and disaster relief organisations," Gevaert added.
