How many emails do you send and receive each day on average? In general, how long does it take you to inform your staff of new objectives or progress? It’s a sign that your collaboration tools need to be updated if your responses make your face grimace.
The use of software to facilitate group cooperation is on the rise. Technology provides a plethora of choices in every area, from communication to project tracking up to project management. Every year, new online collaboration tools appear, and the ones that already exist continues to improve. Using a collaborative management system can help businesses to be on top of the game.
Slack
Slack is a platform for collaboration that provides a single location for chatting, plugin tools, and file sharing. This implies that although Slack is an instant messaging platform, it also has many add-ons for various business applications. However, the add-ins sometimes aren’t required to be used on Slack since the primary feature focuses on communicating and collaborating with others. Slack offers two ways to share: channels which are separated by hashtags and direct team member messaging.
XS Multimedia was one of the early adopters of the tool in the Philippines. Our company started using Slack in the year 2013. Slack entered the market with no significant rivals. Of course, there were other chat applications, but Slack was the first to integrate an appealing user interface with both group and one-to-one communications. The invitation mechanism also gives businesses some control over who may utilise the system. Other tools might do the same thing, but they would lack the same level of usefulness. We can genuinely say that no platform could match Slack’s features, including Microsoft, Apple, IBM, and the rest of the big names in the software industry in terms of simplicity, user interface and productivity.
Zoom
If you’ve ever used video conferencing while working remotely, you probably don’t have pleasant memories of the experience. One year ago, frustrating technical issues like frozen video and no audio were all too frequent. But zoom came in and made online calls seamless. It is a reliable video platform that is being used for chats, meetings, phone calls, webinars and even live events. Zoom is one of the tools we use the most, from short one-on-one check-ins with a colleague to discuss the specifics of a project we’re working on to our weekly company showcase when we present the work we’ve delivered.
ProofHub
ProofHub is one of the best options if you’re searching for a dependable method to handle large projects.
