Communicating with a scattered team
As telecommuting and satellite offices become more standard practice in the agency environment (and all industries, actually), eventually someone on your team will be thinking about tools that can help coordinate all those remote intraoffice communications and interactions.
If that team member happens to be you, WebWorkerDaily has put together a list of questions that you should be asking when choosing from among the many enterprise collaboration tools available. Some of the key considerations include:
Where will your team be working? You may not always know where your team is working from, especially with telecommuting employees,. But it’s a question that’s important to answer, because you may need to figure out how to get access for a team member who doesn’t have high-speed Internet, or you may need to look for a secure tool that won’t expose your data over the local coffee shop’s wireless network.
Does it offer room for your team to grow? As your organization grows, some collaboration applications may not scale with you. Unless you’re willing to move your data whenever your organization gets a little bigger, choosing tools that can keep pace is crucial.
