Are emails and spreadsheets limiting your team’s productivity?

While these tools were sufficient some years ago, they no longer promote the efficiency and agility that successful teams require.

Whether your business is small or large, you want your employees to stay engaged and be collaborative. Using a company employee portal can help you accomplish these goals.

Collaboration has always been necessary for business success. But large, in-person meetings and the sharing of physical documents can be a hassle. These traditional collaboration methods are often time-consuming and inefficient—consider how much effort it takes to get 10 people together in the same room at the same time.

Technology is changing the way companies interact with clients. Rather than relying on the occasional communication via phone or email, you can now utilise a range of tech tools to give your clients timely updates, transmit important files, and further develop the client relationship—all through secure channels.

Rather than increase staff costs, the provision of a 'Self Service Member Portal' adds value in many ways. This in turn allows you to focus your staff's attention on increasing the service and value offered to your members, resulting in improved engagement and increased retention.

Projects are a complex mix of people, resources and information, which include meetings, milestones, actions, tasks, timescales, priorities, deliverables and resource availability. To succeed you must attend meetings, stay on top of the groups’ discussions, store your project documents and manage all actions/milestones to ensure you deliver on time and on budget. There's a simple way to do all of this...
