After weeks of working from home, businesses are starting to think about how to reopen. Some companies may already be testing the waters with a few employees in-office, others may be preparing a distributed model that works for them. No matter what your country, state, city, or even county’s policy towards reopening is, deciding when and how to reopen your business is a unique decision for each company.
Businesses have woken up to the reality of information access and management in a remote work situation. There are three immutable factors for remote work: So, what can companies do to manage information effectively in a remote work environment?

The Mattermost platform is a powerful messaging tool that enables secure team collaboration.

Creating strong relationships with your customers isn’t something that happens overnight. And, every customer has a unique personality and perspective on business relationships. Ever been around a group of young pups? They may have the same parents and even look alike (i.e. adorable with tiny floppy ears) but talk about some unique personalities!

It’s easy to look at project management software through the lens of a single goal: more successful projects. It’s true: 77% of high-performing projects are built with project management software.

Those things create a better customer experience and a stronger bottom line. But remember, buyers are human.
When you hear the word “transparency,” project management software probably isn’t what comes to mind. Maybe you think of the window next to your desk. Unless the blinds are closed, you can see clearly into your yard. It’s not much different in the work context: Unless you have a reason to block the light, you should be able to watch what’s going on from where you’re seated. Project management software is that transparent window.
So you’ve decided on a project management software you want to introduce to your team. Great! Choosing a project management software is a challenge in and of itself. But now that you’ve found the perfect one, the real battle begins: implementation.
Business is a battle, and the companies that best optimize their resources tend to win. But without a clear look at project-level data, it’s impossible to distribute those resources well. The right project management software shows you how and where your resources are spent. Organizing, executing, and analyzing projects is a lot easier when you can find it all on a single platform.
