Today, all businesses are looking for methods and techniques to improve communication in the business and workplace. There are numerous electronic media platforms that are used to communicate with today, which has a negative influence on enterprise productivity.
Organisations need to start focusing on collaborating communication in the workplace by making use of business collaboration tools. The question that most businesses have is: "What in my business will improve if I make use of collaboration tools in the business?"
"Everything is shifting to a world of knowledge; with this shift, it entitles everyone to have the power of knowledge in their hands. If there is news on the other side of the world, you, as a user of technology, can have access to it immediately; but the question is, what do you do with the information that you see, or what do you gain by having access to all information?" said Henk Olivier, CEO of Ozone Information Technology Solutions.
There are several answers to the above questions.
Businesses need to utilise the information that people are hungry to communicate and connect; companies must use this to their advantage.
If a business has a team of five people working on a project, for example, and they need to communicate around the project, it would make more business sense to have a centralised system where everyone can see comments and replies regarding the project.
If, for instance, one member of the group accesses the project, and shares his/her response with the rest of the team in either an e-mail, flash drive, online file sharing tool, chat program or mobile text regarding the project, all the people in the team will use a different communication tool to respond. This leaves the project manager with the mammoth task of having to check multiple media platforms to see the responses and updates from other team members. This results in everyone in the team needing to check different media platforms for communication, wasting valuable work time.
Imagine you have a team of 20 people who need to arrange an event; if these people need to communicate with each other all the time, you will need to budget for additional time for communication.
