Enablement is the key to happier, more productive teams
Business hours are precious. Making the most of them is critical
When poor tools, organisational obstacles and convoluted processes frustrate employees, time is lost and productivity suffers. And that’s a problem no amount of after-work pizzas, break-room foosball or high-tech nap-pods will be able to fix.

Business email has evolved. The HTML styled missives you receive today bear little resemblence to the first QWERTYUIOP punched out by Ray Tomlinson in 1971.

File sync services like Dropbox and One Drive are widely used for managing personal files and folders. They’re cheap (or free!) and simple to use and so have become the easy choice for businesses attempting to manage documents in the cloud.
But effective document management involves more than just sharing files with other uses and devices.
