Productivity Software is Smarter Than Ever

Productivity Software is Smarter Than Ever

All businesses rely on software to an extent, but there are several that transcend industry or organization size and can be implemented by most businesses to improve productivity. Let’s go over some of the common types of software you might find in a business environment and why you should consider implementing them for your own company.

Productivity Suites

The most basic of all productivity software is the productivity suite. Examples include Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, both of which offer word processors, spreadsheet softwares, presentation apps, and more. There are also other more specialized productivity suites for photo and video editing, as well.

Feature-Rich Collaboration

So many workers still operate remotely and if your team fits this bill, you are going to have to replace the collaboration that is missed by not being in the office. Today’s collaboration software allows people to not only communicate in real time, it also provides integrations that build efficiency and team productivity.

Communication Solutions

More important than ever before are communication solutions like instant messaging, voice chat, and video calling. Considering the current state of the world with many workers performing their tasks remotely, it’s no surprise that communication solutions have an incredible value. Consider communication solutions that can be utilized on a plethora of different devices, including laptops, desktops, and smartphones.

Project Management Tools

We are certain that, regardless of industry, your organization implements projects of some sort on a day-to-day basis. Whether it’s something as simple as delegating tasks to individuals or keeping track of how much time is spent on each individual task, you can bet that a project management solution of some sort is going to be a valuable investment for your company. Some project management software allows for integration with various communications solutions built right into them.

Preferred can help your business deploy, manage, and maintain software that are designed to enhance your workflows and improve productivity. We can even host it in the cloud so you don’t have to worry about keeping it on your own in-house infrastructure! You can instead access them via the cloud on any approved device. It’s a great way to take your productivity to the next level.
