Every business makes use of technology. It is used for communication, promotion, sales, feedback, networking, meetings and much more.
Workspace Technology is ever-evolving.
Here we look at why it is so important to keep workplace technology current.
Efficiency – Cloud-based services, advanced operating systems and content management applications all help with business efficiency. These tools give you the chance to streamline processes and save space, time and paper. Modern phone systems provide smartphone integration and call management, which helps the business run smoothly. Voicemails land directly in your emails for quick and reliable communications.
WiFi – Bars, cafes, coffee shops, and hotels should always offer their guests WiFi access. Many customers will seek places with WiFi to ensure they can work on the go and have access to files when needed. A recent survey suggests free WiFi access is a decision breaker for many potential guests and customers.
Online store – All businesses should have an online presence, with goods and services available at the touch of a button. A fast, professional and mobile-friendly website is a must, with most people preferring to shop online.
File storage – Cloud-based file storage and shared drives enable colleagues to access and share files from any place at any time. This saves time and space and is a highly efficient way of storing files.
Marketing and promotions – The internet is a fantastic place for marketing. Online access is essential, whether you place targeted adverts or use social media to network and communicate with your customers.
Video conferencing – Where would we be without video conferencing? Applications such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams have proven to be paramount during the recent lockdowns. This type of video conferencing connects businesses, employees and customers from all over the world at the click of a link.
Social media – There’s no denying that social media is a highly effective way of networking and reaching a customer base. Many businesses use social media for advertising, sales, services, events and working hours. It is also a fun way to share light-hearted material for engagement.
Technology will only advance further, so it is important to be ahead of the game and stay current with technology for your business.
