Today’s project management packages look different than a decade ago.

For project planning, a work plan is an essential document. It ensures all team members are on the same page about everything related to a particular project, from what’s getting done to who’s doing what and when.

For many people, the term “document management” conjures up memories of rows and rows of filing cabinets, each filled with hundreds of records and sensitive materials your team had to keep organised and secure day to day.

If you haven’t done it before, implementing a cloud-based collaborative solution may sound like a headache (and a mouthful), but in most cases it’s a simple task. Gone are the days of buying hardware and waiting impatiently for IT to set things up.

Sharing documents is easy in today’s digital workplace with the many file sharing software solutions available on the market, but secure file sharing is another matter. The fast pace of business dealings can sometimes pressure employees into foregoing security practices meant to safeguard their organisations against data theft.

The role of the intranet in business has evolved over the years. While it was once just a place to check for company news, modernised intranets offer a collaborative hub for employees to communicate with one another, share documents, and manage tasks.

Let’s be honest: Most company intranets today are outdated and unexciting. They tend to be static, one-way communication portals built on older technology that’s cumbersome to support. Rather than being a hub of activity, they’re practically ghost towns.
