Collaboration Solutions can Help Your Organization

Innovation has many forms, whether it’s implementing automated solutions to ensure tasks are accomplished or implementing new methods to get work done by your in-house staff. Collaboration is one of the ways that your organization can benefit from innovation; the right solutions can make quite a difference. Let's highlight some of the more innovative collaboration solutions that you can implement for your business.

Connecting Solutions
A business utilizes several different software solutions to connect your employees to each other. Some might use a video chat system that has built-in communication features to facilitate productivity. Others might utilize Dropbox or other file sharing services to make sure anyone who needs to can access files. Communication between various services is required if your organization wants to innovate and make progress. Integrating solutions with APIs can give your company the edge to get as much done as possible with your in-house and cloud-based solutions. These APIs are largely responsible for ensuring that all of your technology plays nice with each other.

Collaboration Suites
More organizations than ever before are relying on software to get work done. Collaboration suites take a lot of common features and create a single access point for them. One solid example of this is Slack, which permits you to create channels for each of your different departments to collaborate and communicate with one another. Naturally, this is barely scratching the surface of what’s capable of being accomplished with collaboration suites, but it’s essentially what can be called a workplace intranet. It’s a single application that allows access to all of your most needed information, the communications your company used, and the other applications it needs to effectively complete all of its tasks and projects.

Virtual Assistants
Virtual assistants offer a certain level of innovation to the workplace. For example, imagine telling your phone to inform you of meeting times or events throughout the workday. Imagine setting reminders for critical tasks that need to be completed. Virtual assistants can permit your business to scour emails for vital information that must be addressed, create up a to-do list, and so much more, making them great for not just collaboration, but overall workplace productivity.
