9 Benefits of Digital Collaboration in the Workplace

 

Digital collaboration can improve communication, facilitate the free flow of information, increase productivity and efficiency, build a sense of community, fill employees with a strong sense of purpose, improve problem-solving, and lead to significant cost savings. However, it remains a commonly underutilized instrument in the workplace.

If you’re not a millennial, you probably remember when you had to file thousands of paper documents by hand. Or, perhaps you remember having documents delivered to various departments for approval? What about those bulky, cluttered file cabinets that held the same amount of information as a tiny folder on the cloud? Yes, that’s an ugly image we need to get out of our heads! These reminders of the past make us grateful for having the tools and technology of today!

Online collaboration tools have pulled us out of the document dark ages and increased our productivity multi-fold.


Before we dig into the benefits of digital collaboration, let us first understand what collaboration is.

What is digital collaboration

So, what is collaboration, and what is digital collaboration?

Collaboration is individuals working together for a common purpose to achieve a defined and common business purpose. People with common goals and interests create an unmatched synergy that can outperform any organization.

Digital collaboration is the practice of people working together through online means such as software-as-a-solution (SaaS) platforms. Instead of teams only communicating and working together in person, they are able to rely on digital tools to enable them to work together. Some organizations use digital collaboration to supplement their day-to-day, onsite operations. Others practice digital collaboration to aid communication with remote workers – for instance, instant messaging, making video calls, sharing documents, and managing projects in the cloud.

Digital collaboration tools have many benefits that can help increase employee productivity in your business and reduce overheads. Here are 9 reasons why your company should start deploying digital collaboration tools.

If you are looking to improve business processes and workflows, a great starting point is digital document collaboration.
