Collaboration Tools
In both large and small organisations I see teams of people who
- work different hours, in different places, from home or on the move
- have no proper IT support
- can’t afford expensive software like “Office” suites or “Photoshop”
This results in some of the following problems:
- people emailing files that they’re working on together and losing track of who’s changes what and which is the latest
- long confusing chains of emails
- changes being made to projects without other people knowing
- remote/home workers losing touch
- inability to quickly do tasks which should be simple
If you recognise these situations and issues then you need to know – there are better ways to work together!
Free, or very cheap tools exist to help you and your team work together, share what you are doing, and communicate better. We call these collaboration tools. They can help you:
- have professional email and document sharing systems
- easily share documents, files and folders with your team
- work together on documents at the same time, tracking changes and seeing what the other person is doing
- keep each other posted on progress and changes to projects
- do things that you thought needed complicated, expensive software to do
Oikos can:
- advise you on what tools might make your team work better
- install and set up the tools
- train you in how to use them
- give you ongoing support
