In our last blog we looked at the benefits of collaborative working and why it’s worth investing in. It’s been shown that when we work together costs go down, results go up, our learning improves and we have a more united voice.

 

This is why, increasingly, both public and private sector organisations are being encouraged to develop and maintain strong partnerships.

 

But, as we also acknowledged in our blog, collaborative working isn’t always easy. For example, how do you enable people across a range of organisations to communicate quickly and easily? How do you make sure everyone has access to the most up-to-date information? And, with so many people involved in a project, how do you stay on top of what’s going on?

 

We understand both the value of collaborative working and the barriers to making it a success. This is why we designed and developed tools that directly overcome these barriers. And allow you to enjoy all the benefits of working with others.

 

Project updates and notifications

 

Verto’s updates and notifications help you track projects and stay on top of tasks.

 

You can create different task lists to help people manage their work. These lists can be for individuals, specific teams or everyone involved in the project, whichever is best for you.

 

You can then set Verto’s notifications to keep you and other members of the project up to date with what’s going on. You’ll know when someone has completed a task and you’ll know when things start to fall behind. This means you can take action immediately and make sure your project stays on schedule.

 

Instant messaging

 

Verto’s instant messaging tool means you can keep in touch with everyone involved in your project, quickly, easily and whenever you need to. And they can keep in touch with you too.

 

You can check in with one person, bounce ideas off a whole team and update everyone involved in the project.

You don’t always know when you’re going to need a piece of information – perhaps you’re in a meeting and you’re asked for a specific cost that you don’t have to hand. That’s no problem with Verto as you can simply message the person who has the answer. And they can get back to you in an instant.

 

File sharing

 

When a lot of people are involved in a project, it’s vital everyone has access to the same information.  Verto makes this easy too.

 

When you use Verto you can store all your documents in the cloud. This means anyone who needs to can access a document to read or update it. Whenever they need to and from wherever they are.

 

Crucially, Verto’s inbuilt document control tool also means you can be sure you’re always looking at the most up-to-date version of any file.

 

And remember, because Verto is based in the cloud, you can use it on almost any device, at any time, wherever you are.
