Artisan Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding Atlassian Corporation (NASDAQ:TEAM) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter: Among our top detractors were Baker Hughes, Argenx and Atlassian Corporation (NASDAQ:TEAM). Atlassian is a leading provider of innovative, customizable team collaboration software tools. The company reported modestly disappointing quarterly results in May, following two prior quarters of solid results, due in part to delays in signing some large enterprise contracts. Other potential headwinds, such as tariff pressure on customers' software budgets and the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on knowledge worker jobs, also weighed on investors. We have been monitoring these potential headwinds but don't see any change in Atlassian's long-term profit cycle, and we remain confident in the potential of several company-specific, multiyear growth drivers. And with the hiring of a new chief revenue officer in late 2024, Atlassian is working to enhance its senior management talent in sales, marketing and R&D. With the stock trading at an attractive valuation, we added modestly to our position. A group of executives in a board room discussing the latest software innovation.

Exclaimer launches Meeting Branding feature to deliver consistency and control in every video call
Marketing and Sales teams gain consistent brand experience across platforms such as Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet with automated personalization LONDON & BOSTON, August 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exclaimer, the leading provider of email signature management solutions, has announced the launch of its Meeting Branding feature for video conferencing platforms. The new capability—a first for any email signature management provider—allows organizations to centrally manage branded video call backgrounds with automatic personalization, extending the same level of control IT teams have over email signatures to platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Despite 89% of IT professionals citing video conferencing as essential to their organization, most companies still lack the centralized tools needed to deliver a consistent and professional brand experience during virtual meetings. The problem is widespread: employees join calls with cluttered backgrounds, missing name details, and inconsistent branding. This is particularly problematic when first impressions matter most. Manual background management doesn't scale, leaving organizations vulnerable to unprofessional appearances that can undermine credibility and brand trust. "Your brand is present in every email—so why shouldn't it be just as strong in every video call?" said Vicky Wills, Chief Technology Officer at Exclaimer. "With Meeting Branding, organizations can deliver a consistent, polished brand experience across all video meetings, while giving IT teams the same trusted control they already rely on with Exclaimer's email signature management." Centralized control meets automatic personalization With Exclaimer's Meeting Branding, IT teams have a unified platform to create, personalize, and distribute video call backgrounds across all major meeting platforms. Key features include: Unified platform management: Upload a standardized background and logo once for deployment across platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet, with automatic distribution through the Zoom app or Exclaimer's User Details Portal. Directory integration: Sync employee names and job titles from existing user directories, ensuring accurate, up-to-date personalization without manual intervention. Built-in identification: Add name tags to backgrounds so meeting participants can quickly identify speakers. This reduces confusion in large or cross-functional calls. Template locking: Prevent unauthorized modifications while enabling automatic updates when user details change, maintaining consistency at scale. Professional brand consistency: Ensure every call reflects corporate standards, which is particularly important for customer-facing teams in sales, support, and executive meetings. A proven approach applied to a new medium "We've done this before with email signatures—over 70,000 organizations trust us to standardize their email communications," added Wills. "Now we're applying that same consistency and control to video meetings." Meeting Branding builds on Exclaimer's 20+ years of experience in centralized email signature management. The feature has already been adopted by over 1,600 users across 240+ customers, including global enterprises. This clearly shows the market demand for unified brand control across video conferencing platforms. Exclaimer is the only email signature management provider that offers native video call branding capabilities, positioning the company uniquely to address the growing need for comprehensive communication brand management. Immediate availability for Pro customers Meeting Branding is now available to all Exclaimer Pro customers at no additional cost. Implementation is supported through existing IT infrastructure without requiring new tools or complex setup procedures. Organizations using Exclaimer's Starter, Standard, or legacy plans can upgrade to access Meeting Branding alongside Exclaimer's full suite of email signature management features.
