How to increase collaboration and productivity even in smart working.

Written by power2Cloud | 29/01/20

Working smart or mobile can distract you from your tasks, make you feel disconnected from the team and less productive.

These are just some of the problems that many people stumble upon while working on the go regardless of whether they are talking about pandemic and work restrictions. If it concerns you too, we recommend Google Workspace.

An easy-to-implement tool that immediately ensures simplicity, speed and productivity because it allows you to have everything you need for your work in one place.

In fact, it is much more than just professional email, it includes integrated applications (Calendars, Documents, Presentations, Sheets, Drive and more) to give your days a boost.

Don't miss the power2Cloud offer that gives you up to 10% off for a few more days when you activate at least 10 licenses.

Work hasn't just been in the office for a while now

Why have many people experienced problems during smart working? We are used to working elbow to elbow, asking for quick information in the coffee break or simply when our colleague is free. We work only at our PC and we don't know any other way to do it.

It happens in small realities as well as in larger ones, where this frustration can become more acute because you have to deal with more people to get your work done.

Smart working has brought up some critical issues that can be solved by using the right tools.

In fact, working only at one's office computer has long become a limitation not only for one's work, but also because productivity.

A cloud solution like Google Workspace, on the other hand, allows you to look beyond that and focus on much more important critical issues while at home, on the road or at a client's.
In fact, you securely access your business files and work tools in real time from your browser, even with your colleagues.

Everything is just a click away and ready to use.

What are the most important aspects of our work even in smart working?

What will work look like in the future? We will increasingly need a shared space. This is why Google has created flexible tools that help people stay more connected even if they are "divided" by different time zones, countries and spaces.

With Google Workspace, you can use the same tools and adapt them to your daily needs.

Gmail, Calendar, Google Docs and Drive have helped start billions of projects around the world and keep organizations and teams together because they are easy to use and are constantly getting smarter with new updates.

Theinterface is intuitive and already familiar especially to all those consumer (private) accounts that have Gmail.

In addition, Google Workspace is strategic because in one place you can find all the applications and information you need even when you are not in the office.

Working from any computer, tablet or mobile device is a reality today!


Productivity, even in smart working

Our office is everywhere, while we are on the train, in the living room with our children engaged in distance learning, in the countryside while smart working at parents', in the city, at a client's office... anywhere.

Work is productive, it has to be, not just in the office anymore!

Now that work has moved into our homes or reinvented itself we have new needs.

Facilitate users by giving solutions that are easy to use and administer, ensure flexibility to work from anywhere and respond quickly to everyone's needs, using time-saving tools that can be used for more complex actions.

Smart working can be an even more intense activity for those without the proper tools.

Ideally moving our workplace should not be a hindrance, especially if we do not want to make the people we work with feel frustrated.

Data security

Sharing company files from different devices even when working on the move puts data security at risk because we cannot control how and to whom we share them.

Files are saved on personal computers and cannot be viewed by the rest of the team. In addition, more and more people are looking for and using different and unauthorized applications as a lifesaver to solve this or that problem, since organizations do not provide them.

With Google Workspace you log in from the browser, as if you were in the office, and work within the corporate Drive collaborating with colleagues or external users without losing the ability to edit or remove access to your files.

Professional Gmail email is SPAM free and all applications are constantly updated automatically so you don't have to worry about anything.

Working on the same secure infrastructure as Google also makes your data, devices and users equally protected.

You can also increase security with power2Cloud support by implementing some best practices such as two-step verification.

Use tools that are integrated with each other

An exponential increase in applications always complicates everything. Each has its own dynamics and often forces you to work in silos, that is, separately from your colleagues.

Different applications do not guarantee continuity in our activities because we are forced to open multiple work windows to make a Document, update our team, analyze reports.

Timing is also very important: documents and reports are never ready for real-time comparison, but require to be consulted at multiple resumes with a consequent loss of time.

With Google Workspace, on the other hand, you use applications that are integrated not only with each other but also with the tools you use on a daily basis.

Not to mention that they guarantee a great user experience even when you compare yourself with people who use Microsoft, for example.

Real-time collaboration

The need to have to constantly update your team to keep up with the progress of the work forces you to triple phone or written communications.

This situation also arises when team members are greater than two.

With Google Workspace, collaboration is an integral part of all work because you always know who is editing documents or who is busy in a meeting, who can be reached in chat, with great transparency and in real time.

File Sharing

Sharing files and documents becomes challenging when working asynchronously by attaching to this or that email. Email explodes, space dwindles as you lose track and can no longer remember which version is the most up-to-date. In addition, large files can further slow down our Internet connection.

This ping pong of information wastes you a lot of time and becomes frustrating especially because if at the third email you have to start over again. Thanks to Google Workspace you work on the same files at the same time.

You can see your colleagues writing data and useful information at the same time to understand how the work is progressing, what needs to be implemented. You can always restore the correct version if something goes wrong, there is no need to save changes, and you can work even when you are offline and the internet is missing. Simple isn't it?

Intelligent storage space and file search

Saving every document on your computer or mobile devices can be a barrier. It starts from folders saved on one's desktop to those that end up on an external hard drive. Which also greatly complicates searching for this or that document.

We always need more space, shared space. With Google you can get potentially unlimited space according to your needs and share it with your colleagues through the team Drive. You can create the one dedicated to marketing, sales or administration.

Everyone can access the one under their own competence, consulting documents and resources that are always up-to-date and useful for working as a team. You can also search for what you need intelligently no matter if it is in a document or chat history, presentation or email.

It optimizes time and travel. An environmentally friendly choice, too!

In addition to optimizing time and travel with Google's cloud solutions, know that you are using 100 percent renewable energy.

Google Cloud Platform performs calculations and stores your data with renewable energy. This means your work is sustainable from day one. Organizations that have switched services report reductions in IT energy use and carbon emissions of 65 percent to 85 percent .
