No organisation is completely self-sufficient. Regardless of the products and services they sell, the industry they operate in, or the size of their workforce, organisations must rely on vendors in some capacity.

Let’s be honest: Most company intranets today are outdated and unexciting.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.

In case you haven’t noticed, remote accounting firms in the U.K. and abroad have been popping up at a rapid pace in recent years. Why is that? It comes down to two key elements.

Enterprise collaboration software has come a long way in recent years. Where before there were niche solutions that addressed one or two pain points, now there are crossover tools that seek to overcome multiple organisational challenges. This blurring of lines has caused confusion among leaders.

Remote team collaboration can be challenging, especially if your organisation hasn’t done it on a large scale before. Letting a few employees work away from the office occasionally is one thing, but transitioning a large share of your workforce to remote work requires formal planning.

Collaboration is practiced in some form at every organisation, regardless of industry or line of business. Practicing it effectively is how great companies create winning products and deliver raved-about services.

We now live in a digital-first world. Our personal and professional lives are connected through computers, mobile phones, and other devices. Tasks that used to require face-to-face interaction can now be performed through a screen.

You can find SharePoint in many enterprises across a variety of industries. But just because it’s widely used doesn’t make it a great fit for every organisation. Even companies that have a long history with SharePoint often complain about its flaws—chief among them that the platform is overly complex.

Every day, information moves throughout your organisation—between customers and employees, between employees and vendors, among employees themselves, and so on.

You’ve done your due diligence in hiring the best and brightest employees that also fit your organisational culture. You’ve given them a modern space to work in (or the flexibility to work remotely). And you’ve even implemented relevant tools—including great collaboration software—so they’re able to work together seamlessly.
