The hype surrounding AI potential has misled many into overlooking its current utility. AI experts say the real value today lies in increasing efficiency and accuracy in our everyday work. If I asked you to give me one example of automation, what would you say? Most likely a car factory or an assembly plant filled with machines doing repetitive tasks. No matter your answer, you most likely weren’t thinking of automation within your own business.

You get a spreadsheet report by email every Friday. It shows your revenue numbers, the number of orders and other key metrics for your business. It’s important stuff. And Jonathan does a great job putting it together. However, Jonathan is sick for a few days. And the report doesn’t come out. Turns out, he’s the only one that knows how to do it. Everyone trusts Jonathan – that’s not the problem. But there’s no backup plan to getting your key results.

Communication is one of the fundamental elements of business. Customers, partners, and remote employees are exactly the people you should be able to stay in touch with in 24/7 mode. The means to support remote team collaboration enable the scale of the existing enterprises to be increased, in particular, by opening new branches, finding new clients, and expanding their sphere of activity (both within the country and abroad).

If you’re a marketer, you must have seen a bajillion articles with the same or similar title. Honestly, I get irritated with that as well. So, I’m going to change things up slightly. I’ll show you the tools and also talk about how they work together and small use cases to help your marketing team. If that works, read on!

Recruiting Millennials, selling to Millennials, writing for Millennials, we are all Millennials… How to engage Millennials, make them feel comfortable at work, consider their ambitions and emotions… What to do for Millennials to be happy… Okay, it seems the hullabaloo around Gen Y winds down in these latter days.

Gather wildly different personalities together; throw tight deadlines, difficult clients, and passive-aggressive communication into the mix; and blend. What you have is your average workplace, complete with its own unique culture and challenges. And while some office snafus are truly one-offs, there are others that are universal and we’ve all encountered from time to time. Hopefully, they resolve after a day or two.

Here’s the truth: hardly any ‘chat apps’ are left on the market. Today’s corporate messengers are not just about communication anymore. With businesses seeking to streamline operations and enhance team collaboration, the demand for efficient tools like group communication apps has soared. As business needs have evolved, group chat apps have become powerful collaboration tools.

Effective internal communication and employee productivity are the foundation for any business achievements. Open-source intranet software has become widely used over recent years as an affordable and malleable technology to manage business procedures. It is becoming ever more popular owing to the increasing demand for enterprises – especially small and medium ones – to adopt alternatives that find an equilibrium between ease and competitiveness.

When information is scattered across multiple platforms, it can feel like navigating a maze – complicated, time-consuming, and frustrating. Teams often find themselves wandering through endless corridors of emails, files, and messages, struggling to find what they need. This is where the corporate intranet acts as the guiding Ariadne’s thread, leading employees through the maze and helping them stay on track.

A content manager’s morning can feel like a mini survival quest. You sit down with your coffee, ready to tackle an important task, when suddenly – bam! – a flood of notifications from various apps bombards you. Need to find a document urgently? Great, it’s somewhere in the cloud… or maybe in the task manager? Or perhaps a colleague sent it in the chat?

Sometimes searching for important information feels like walking through a dusty old archive – endless shelves piled high with folders full of old conversations, project overviews, and to-do lists. A dim light from a flickering lamp does little to help, and that smoldering fuse keeps prodding you that the deadline is looming near. You’re stuck, eager to dig through that one important message with up-to-date revision notes, knowing time is not on your side.

When your colleagues are again digging through the depths of the old intranet searching for a lost document, and an important message gets buried in a deluge of useless updates, something’s wrong. Intranet is a lot like that old file cabinet. It’s huge, cluttered with everything, and it appears as if everything’s in its place. But when you need to find something specific, good luck trying to find it.

Skype, you’ve served us well. If you’ve ever worked remotely or needed to make an international call, there’s a good chance Skype was your go-to app. For years, it was the first tool many of us reached for when starting the day. But as with all technology, change is inevitable. Recent rumors have fueled the idea that Skype’s time is running out.
