The Problem
In the case of small and medium businesses,
Today, 70 million people work in small and medium sized businesses in the United States. Every day small and medium business, SMBs, have to operate with numerous applications, like Chats, Tasks, Calendar, Apps for Calls and keeping files. The problem is that all those tools work separately.
Each of them works apart, has a different interface, different storage and access settings.
An average employee every day has to switch between as much as 35 application, copying and pasting information from one application to another. Just back and forth, switching between apps wasting precious work time and productivity.
The business loses money because of poor labor organization, misses productivity because teams are spending more time to finish projects, risks data leakage because information is split between personal devices and private accounts.
The root of the problem is that the usage of numerous applications that work separately creates inefficiencies in business communication & collaboration
