With dramatic changes in how and where people work – and immediate needs for dispersed teams to collaborate effectively from anywhere – video conferencing has become a business imperative. From huddle spaces to hot desks, workstations to working from home – teams everywhere need to connect via video so they can collaborate at any moment.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that went through digitalisation in 2020 had stronger revenue growth and a far better outlook for 2021, consistent with a study by UOB. The UOB SME Outlook 2021 Study found that two in five SMEs that implemented digitalisation initiatives in 2020 had stronger revenue growth than non-adopters, with companies that digitalised their entire business or multiple areas outperforming those that digitalised just one area. Among non-adopters, six out of 10 saw their 2020 net revenue decline from 2019.
With an increasingly distributed workforce, people have been working from home, from the office, from different geographies and in the cloud, and people working different shifts. Prior to the pandemic, there were several options for gaining insight into the productivity of the workforce, but remote working has thrown us a curveball and management can’t entirely track remote employees’ productivity using manual methods or policies. So how do we measure those metrics? How do we efficiently and accurately manage our team’s work? How do we evaluate and keep up with the productivity by members of our workforce?

At first glance, project management and work management have similar meanings in which each requires planning and what sets them apart is the level and scope of work. According to a survey conducted by Mmoser Associates, out of 120 companies in Asia Pacific, 56% of respondents said they would prefer the flexibility of working remotely. The Covid-19 pandemic is a strong reason for this big shift in the way we work. That is why many companies are starting to embrace digital transformation to keep their businesses going. This digital transformation certainly involves a collaboration platform that makes it easy for employees to stay connected either to communicate or to do more measurable work planning.
