14% of all employed US adults now work remotely full-time. While this flexibility offers numerous benefits, it also presents a unique challenge: ensuring remote employees are productive and engaged. If you suspect some remote workers aren’t working, your business’s productivity might suffer. Not only does it impact productivity, but it can also strain team dynamics and morale.

With an increasingly distributed workforce, many businesses today monitor employees—both remote and in-office. Employee monitoring offers many advantages for companies and employees, fostering a productive and transparent work environment. While workplace tracking naturally prompts discussion, it can lead to improved efficiency, fairer performance evaluations, and enhanced work-life balance when implemented thoughtfully.

A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system is a digital home for your customer info. It stores names, emails, and every chat you’ve ever had with a lead. A CRM acts as a centralized system, consolidating all customer data into a single CRM database that enhances marketing campaigns, improves data management, and streamlines communication efforts across various channels.

Customer expectations have shifted. It is no longer just about picking up the phone; it is about being exactly where your customers are. But for Contact Center managers, adding new channels usually means adding new complexity. Every time an agent has to minimize a window to check a WhatsApp Web tab or a separate CRM, they lose focus. This “context switching” kills efficiency. But what if your asynchronous messaging lived right next to your voice controls?

Employee satisfaction has moved from a “nice-to-have” HR metric to a core business priority. In a labor market shaped by remote work, talent shortages, and rising burnout, understanding how employees truly feel about their work is essential for long-term success. Satisfied employees are more productive, more loyal, and more likely to contribute positively to company culture.

Last year at Canvas 25, we introduced teams to the AI Innovation Workspace. Now we’re taking that message global with Miro’s first-ever AI brand campaign. And yes, we made it exactly the way you’d hope: by using Miro AI to get it all done. To kick the campaign off, we worked with a creative production partner, Tool of North America, to create a tongue-in-cheek film showing how teams can accomplish even the most ambitious projects faster with Miro AI workflows.

By Tony Grout, Chief Product Officer, M-Files As we look toward 2026, one thing feels certain: the organizations that will win aren’t just the ones adopting AI. They’re the ones that can connect people, processes, and content into a living system that eliminates operational friction and unlocks a real performance advantage. At M-Files, our mission is to help customers do exactly that.

Running a business in 2026 feels like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle. Customer expectations have skyrocketed, response times need to be instant, and your team is already stretched thin. The good news? You don't have to do it all yourself anymore. Whether you're a startup founder or managing a growing enterprise, the key to sustainable growth lies in working smarter.

You’ve probably seen it happen. A customer reports a frustrating glitch. A support agent carefully documents the issue, screenshots and all, and tags the ticket as a “Bug.” They send it off to the development team with a sigh of relief, telling the customer, “I’ve passed this to our engineering team. They’re looking into it! Then… silence. The ticket sits in for weeks and the support agent has no idea if the bug is being worked on.
