Reduce communication overload

Often, one of the biggest obstacles to creative collaboration is that there is just too much communication. Business users receive 90-100 non-essential emails every day.ii

What if time spent dealing with unnecessary communication could be used more productively? With the right cloud collaboration tool in place, it can. Cloud collaboration tools filter messages by groups or teams, restricting information to relevant team members.

PRO TOOL TIP:

The best collaboration tools have custom settings, allowing you to receive alerts and

notifications in real time or to roll messages up into daily (or even weekly) digests.

Focus on innovation and creativity

Perhaps the most important factor about effective cloud collaboration software is the way it can bring focus to your team. Since these tools are built primarily for workplace collaboration, they seamlessly integrate into the process of creation and innovation.

Many businesses rely on too many different applications which take context and focus away from the work at hand. Instead of focusing on technology, or the apps and systems used to communicate, collaboration tools should fade into the background, so that you can focus on your projects, innovations, and solutions.
