Contacting to other people is essential for success nowadays. Business collaboration is probably one of the most important types of communication. It’s no surprise many automated systems and social networks appeared to fulfill this vital need to communicate with working colleagues, partners and audience. Unfortunately, there are too many enterprise collaboration tools at this moment, to help you figure out what best suits you, we have picked out top 5 tools that provide you the possibility of communicating your ideas to people, making appointments, sharing files and handling social media communities and your network.
Chat applications connected through Pidgin.
Now there are indeed many possibilities to communicate. You can run AIM, MSN, Myspace, Jabber, Yahoo, Skype, Google Talk, IRC, Facebook, LinkedIn and what’s worse: so, to get in touch with all of your contacts or members of your community you’re going to have to send messages through all of those systems?
Not anymore. Pidgin (for PCs) and Adium (for Macs) spare you from this necessity. Now you can instantly contact everyone.
Collaborative scheduling of Tungle.me
You have probably sent e-mails trying to set a meeting. When everybody has different scheduling, it may turn into a rather hard affair and Microsoft Office won’t help you out that much. You can also use Doodle for this purpose but Tungle.me is the best tool, in my opinion. Whether it’s your team members our outside partner’s team, you will easily find out their availability and set up a meeting.
Social activists connection through WiseEarth
When you plan an action, you need to create an online community for that and the quicker you do, the better you prepare. WiserEarth has already helped organizations and global movements to work out for social justice and environment protection.
Roles assignement with MediaFunnel
Your social media presence is now a matter of a couple of clicks if you start using MediaFunnel dashboard right away. With one or more Twitter accounts or Facebook Pages, you can set roles for multiple users, picking up from guest, publisher, contributor and administrator. The trial is free and it’s probably the best solution for campaigns and programs.
Workspaces of Huddle
An award-winning software Huddle is used by UNICEF, World Vision and Habitat for Humanity, as well as by a number of other nonprofits. If you represent a nonprofit with a budget less than $7 mln, this software will be free for you. Huddle has customizable dashboard where you can add widgets, and this I super comfortable.
