How Verto’s mobile working tools make collaboration easy for you

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.

How Cloud-based Software Makes Project Management Easier

Here at Verto we understand the demands project managers face every day. No matter what sector you work in and the projects you’re responsible for, you’re in a constant cycle of planning, delivery and reporting.

You’re managing risk, people, performance, time, change and budgets.

You’re expected to know what’s happening with a project at any given time.

And you’re expected to make sure everyone else does too.

Cloud-based project management software, like Verto Go and Verto Pro, help you do all this. Quickly and easily.

 

Instant Access

We provide and maintain Verto on our secure servers and you access it from the internet. This means you and everyone else involved in the project can have instant access to your project’s data. Whenever you need it and from wherever you are.

So even if you’re working round the clock and only have your mobile with you, you’ll always be in touch

Instant Messaging

Verto has an instant messaging tool so you can easily keep in touch with everyone involved in the project.

You can update the whole team at the same time so they always have the latest information.

And you can message people individually to let them know exactly what you need them to do.

Automatic Document Control

Because all your data is stored securely in one place, everyone will always get to see the latest version of any file. Verto even has an automated document control feature that takes care of this for you.

Supporting Flexible Working

Flexible working may eventually become the norm as more and more organisations recognise the benefits it brings in terms of recruiting and retaining the best staff.

Cloud-based project management software has a key role to play here as it means you and your team can access your project’s data whenever you need to from wherever you are. Exactly what you need to work flexibly.

 

And there’s more…

Alongside the benefits that being based in the cloud brings, Verto has a whole host of other project management tools to help your PMO run smoothly.

Things like free automatic updates that mean you’re always working on the latest version of the software, tools to help you manage risk and best practice templates, all save you time and make your job as a project manager easier.
