We all know that times have changed, but the extent to which this applies to the workplace is quite eyebrow-raising. Remote working has become a reality, and it‟s common to have staff – and sometimes entire teams - based in different countries and continents. Such arrangements not only raise obvious requirements for secure VPN connections and collaborative working solutions, but also place a much greater strain on an organization's ability to present and share information among this increasingly diverse and wide-spread audience.

Many organizations are starting to rely on the cloud to provide their employees with dedicated online software, like Synergist, JIRA and ZenDesk, to conduct daily tasks more efficient and modernize their organization's working environment. However, utilizing multiple niche, objective-driven software can lead to a maze of logins and browser tabs that becomes confusing and unnecessary. Inevitably this can result in silo working where employees are devoid of any social interaction and lose the sense of cultural cohesion that used to pervade the workplace.
