Collaboration goes beyond just connecting people

The workplace is truly anywhere you find yourself working. As workplaces are being reimagined and more people working remotely than ever before, your business needs collaboration technology that can be tailored to the way you want to work –in the office, in remote locations, or in a hybrid model.

Here are some important questions to ask yourself when considering collaboration solutions:

Does it have everything I need to support my teams?

Effective collaboration tools empower your teams to connect anytime, anywhere, with features that fit naturally into and improve their workflow without overwhelming them. The right set of tools makes it easer to meet the needs of a modern and productive workforce – along with the ever increasing demands of your customers.

Evolve Anywhere with Webex delivers everything you need in one secure place to call, message, meet and get work done – no matter where you work.

Call

Message

Is it flexible?

Your solution should support any kind of communication –from a phone call to the largest meeting. It should work well for any role or function in your company. It should let you work with people inside and outside your company, seamlessly.

And it should let you work with in the tools you want to use.

Give everyone intuitive technology with one-click simplicity. Expect easy integration with tools you already use, such as calendars, mobile operating systems, and chat clients.

Put an end to the frustration and productivity drain that comes from looking for information and switching between disparate applications. Look for solutions that integrate with your other tools and help minimize silos that take a toll on productivity and cost your business.

Is it easy to set up and use?

Look for a secure cloud-based platform that’s easy to set-up and use and delivers new functionality and security enhancements through automatic updates. Expect a straightforward managed onboarding of your customer account and obvious user-level settings to help your team get right to work with all options of your collaboration solution: users, apps, and devices.

Is it affordable?

Let’s face it, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds with all the choices out there. There are lots of point solutions that can do the job,but the costs of multiple apps start to stack up quickly. A complete integrated collaboration suite with flexible subscription-based pricing is your best bet for a trustworthy solution with long-term ROI.

You no longer need all the point solutions for each type of function; like meetings from one vendor, events from another, messaging or calling from another. With Evolve IP’s Enterprise UCaaS solution, Evolve Anywhere with Webex you get one suite that meets all your collaboration needs at one low price, giving you more value for your money.

Tip – Know where your hard earned cash is going! Before you buy, take time to inventory the different file sharing, messaging, and meeting tools in use across your business. Once you’ve chosen a platform, establish clear guidelines about its use to increase user adoption & productivity while reducing the cost of redundant services.

A few final thoughts

If you’re like a lot of small business owners, you probably don’t want to spend all day thinking about collaboration. But you can’t ignore it either because the way people work has radically changed, and research4 suggests that companies boasting collaborative cultures are five times more apt to perform at high levels.Trust your local service provider with small business expertise for calling and collaboration solutions that are easy to set up, manage, and expand, with pricing models that make sense. We help you focus on what matters most – growing your business.
