![]() ![]() We’ve summed up our top 6 apps and tools for remote working. Using cloud-based apps can not only make your internal process smoother but provide more flexible options for client communication. ![]() We know that a forced change in working set-up may be causing a few issues for companies that aren’t used to functioning in distributed teams, so we thought it might be useful to share some of our top cloud-based apps for remote working. Now, alongside the vast majority of businesses, we’re almost three weeks into a company-wide isolation and in full-on ‘working from home’ mode and fortunately, it’s pretty much business as usual. Too bad it is between $20 and $250 per month extra, although the cheaper subscription at least provides you with a 14-day free trial and the option to have your first month for free – should you choose to pay annually.We’re used to working in distributed teams at Cogworks with agency offices in London and Krakow and remote team members located across the UK, in Poland and as far as Colombia. The seemingly only exception is RingCentral, albeit the integration of which is limited to using Zapier, a solution that uses zaps (where actions performed by the secondary software trigger another action in the primary system) to automate processes. Unfortunately, very few VoIP providers offer and support an API, therefore integration with Slack is more or less impossible. The latter is basically out of question without a Google Voice subscription, too. How to Integrate Slack With VoIP Providers?Īlthough Slack is capable of integrating with almost 200 different communications solutions and is the one of the best instant messaging solutions for businesses, the only VoIP solutions that can directly interact with this software are Skype and Google Hangouts. But the biggest reasons why Slack is a must for your team is that it is available for free or, if you want to enable group voice and video calls, unlimited searches and priority support, for just $6.67 per month on an annual subscription. Furthermore, Slack is not only available via browsers but also through Windows and Mac clients as well as iOS and Android apps. To make things even better Slack has made everything searchable, meaning you can look for specific messages, files and file contents at your will. Participants can easily drag and drop documents into the comment section, even starting a separate conversation under the shared file. You can also send direct messages to one or more persons and get notified of incoming DMs via popups should you close Slack. The biggest benefit of Slack is its logical organization: conversations can be found under channels that can be private (so visible only to invited participants) or open to anyone. If you haven’t heard of it before, Slack is a team communications solution that brings all messaging into one uniform location thanks to integrations with various third-party software and tools, including Twitter, Dropbox, Google Drive, MailChimp and so on. ![]() Slack: The Enterprise-Grade Messaging Platform Since nobody wants to use regular SMS texting, Facebook Messenger and other general IM apps, it is time to look for less conventional methods – like integrating Slack into your system. The only problem is that unless you choose a truly enterprise-grade VoIP provider, one crucial feature may be missing: instant messaging. Cloud-based phone systems are great assets in simplifying business-related telecommunications and reducing costs at the same time. ![]()
