What a start to the first quarter of the year, huh? It’s been a busy one for us, and a challenging quarter for our team (and probably yours) in many ways. At Teamwork, we’re in the fortunate position that the move to remote work was a relatively smooth transition for us. So we’re going to keep doing what we do best: delivering great software to help your team collaborate and keep work going. Here’s a snapshot of our latest releases.
Did you know that as many as 77% of high-performing projects use project management software? Both startups and Fortune 500 companies use these utilities to manage deadlines and work schedules for their remote consultants. Project management tools aren’t just for task scheduling and collaboration, though. The statistics show that file sharing and time tracking are the most common uses for this software.
There are a lot of schools all over the world struggling to get by at the moment. Many of us at Teamwork have kids and we want to do our bit to help. That’s why we’re offering two of our most popular products completely free to schools for the rest of 2020.
With COVID-19 in full swing, today’s businesses must adapt faster than ever. Travel restrictions, quarantines, and business closures are all having a detrimental effect on our economy, way of life, and livelihoods. As product managers, we are the linchpins governing the decision-making process, requiring constant communication with our stakeholders. On a good day, this comes with many difficulties, but during a pandemic, when everyone is working remotely, these challenges multiply exponentially.
For a lot of people, remote work is the norm. For those that are accustomed to it, working remotely can give you time to focus on specific tasks or catch up on things without the interruptions that can happen in a shared office space. But if you’re not used to it, suddenly being asked to work remotely can feel a bit strange — and bring its own set of challenges. At Teamwork, we believe that it’s so important to empower workers to keep work going, wherever you are.
We wanted to share some exciting news: we’ve successfully completed our SOC 2 Type 1 audit! We embarked on this audit as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering the most robust and professional experience to our users. Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 is a procedure designed to ensure that service providers can securely manage data to protect the interests and privacy of their clients.
At Scoro, we believe that every success story is built on a solid foundation. And whether we are talking about our clients or new team members, we want everybody to have the best experience with Scoro software. That’s why we have created a well-crafted and thorough onboarding process for every new user that walks through our doors.
More and more companies are realizing the time-savings and workflow efficiency they can gain by integrating the apps in their tech stack. At Teamwork, we know how important integrations are, so we’ve built a suite of products that are designed to work together from the get-go. Unfortunately, not all apps natively integrate with one another so easily, leading to disjointed workflows and a lot of time wasted switching between multiple apps to make manual updates.
When teams bring together the right people, processes, and ideas from across their organization, they can accomplish amazing things together. Unfortunately not all teams work and communicate in the same tools, creating challenges for cross-functional collaborators and slowing down work on shared projects. This is especially true for technical and business teams whose highly interdependent work can get bogged down by a lack of visibility and repetitive, often duplicate, progress tracking.
With winter slowly but surely losing its power and daylight growing stronger by the hour (we didn’t know we could rhyme!), we’re ready to release a fresh new version of Scoro. This update includes quite a few essential improvements to our existing features to simply make them even better. In addition, we’re continuing with numerous UI and UX updates – making Scoro more consistent and logical, interlinking related settings, automating workflows, adding new icons and so on.
