Bolste Partners with Current powered by GE, Focuses on Bridging the Collaboration Gap

Bolste is pleased to announce that they have joined Current, powered by GE’s partner ecosystem, aiming to provide collaboration and communication technology to customers and partners worldwide.

Bolste’s all-in-one platform provides all of the familiar collaboration tools a team needs for optimal alignment, increased productivity and cohesive, instant communication with those that matter most. The platform allows teams to plan, align, communicate and accelerate success with mobile and desktop business messaging, unlimited guest users, video conferencing, file sharing, calendaring, tasking, editable documents and more.

Bolste, along with intelligent environment data streamed from Current — whether it’s for a commercial business, an intelligent community or a retailer — will allow users to instantly communicate what matters most to get the necessary people, processes and projects aligned.

“We’re so excited to be a part of such a pioneering effort, especially one working to incorporate state-of-the-art technology into day-to-day life on a global scale,” said Leif Hartwig, CEO and co-founder of Bolste. “Bolste is honored to help lend an emphasis on collaboration, transparency and context — all must-haves when it comes to seamlessly accomplishing initiatives as innovative as those of GE.”

By tapping into the data from intelligent environments, such as building automation, space planning/optimization and guidance/movement, companies will enable the appropriate team or audience to collaborate on the important imperatives that require human intervention to reach their goals. Likewise, the partnership between Current and Bolste will allow companies to become even more involved in discussions, communications, projects and innovation.

“We are glad to welcome Bolste to our ecosystem of partners as Current furthers its mission to build intelligent environments for customers across industries,” said Robin Baker, Head of Alliances, Intelligent Environments at Current. “Adding this expertise to Current’s broad application offering will enable customers to leverage the power of collaboration tools to address issues, create open and organized environments for discussion and optimize operations.”

Bolste is currently available to all partners on the Current marketplace and will continue working to provide digital environments that unite GE, its customers and the business world.
