As many of us have now become more used to the idea of working from home I wanted to take some time to go over some of the many benefits utilizing Team on the run remotely can provide. At it’s heart, team on the run is a communication solution designed to be flexible and built to work under a multitude of circumstances. Today I will be going over a few key ways to take advantage of the team on the run application while working remotely.
Push-to-Talk/Channels
You can see more here where I have outlined the benefits of using Push-to-Talk (PTT) calls instead of video conferencing software to have more efficient group meetings. On top of meetings, team on the run PTT offers up a unique way to categorize departments in your organization in the form of “channels.” These channels are a quick and easy way to allow your team members to have instant meetings by just hopping into a respective channel when a situation arises where it’s more relevant to discuss verbally than through messaging. This allows users to collaborate more quickly when away from the office and since team on the run offers a multitude of feature rich communication avenues, you can go straight from having a messaging conversation with a group to a PTT Channel with just one-click, giving you the feel of walking up to someone’s desk and heading into the conference room to meet on topics.
Corporate Directory
Just because the office may not be an option currently does not mean you will not have access to all your colleagues. With our corporate directory you will have the power to reach out to any employee and department needed with precision and ease, just like in person. You can even search by department and click on a person’s “details” to make sure you have exactly the person you need to speak to in a timely fashion. A lot of times when you work from home you lose a % of simplicity but with team on the run we strive to keep that level of simplicity wherever you are.
Mobile, Web & Tablet
Although most of us are confined to home office setups, team on the run is not. Our software is fully compatible with your iOS and Android devices as well as full access from a web browser like Chrome or Firefox. This enables our end users the ability to move about their day and still have full communication with their co-workers. During these times and for parents especially you may be juggling homework, crying children, or any at home issues that may crop up. Team on the run will be by your side whether you need to take a meeting on the go or work 8 hours at your desk, you can switch seamlessly from phone to tablet, and back over to the computer. The application is designed to look and feel the same on each device so there is never a learning curve whether you are on a computer or mobile device.
My Business
My Business is the name of our task management feature within the application. My business is meant to digitize the way we do business, whether it’s time-sheets, projects, checklists or sick day forms, our process center is there to streamline how you work and keep all your in-office processes the same remotely. Need to request a sick day? Just fill out the form in My Business and have it set to auto-route to the appropriate managers or office without having to think “did I include everyone?” With My Business we have seen numerous users utilize it for time-sheets in the form of clock-in/out. Especially for remote work it has great benefit so you can know when and where your employees are when they start their day and when they finish. This way billable hours can stay the same no matter where you are. My Business is an entirely flexible tool that can provide great benefits to all remote workers.
