Virtual Teams And Flexible Work Hours: Boon Or Bane?
Virtual teams and flexible work hours have been the saving grace in the face of COVID-19 and its impact on how we function as a society.   Richard Branson’s quote from 2013 comes to mind when he quipped that the office would become a thing of the past. Well, it surely has, at least for the time being. The IT and E-commerce industries have the luxury of possessing the required tools to embrace a digital working environment. Therefore, they shifted their workforce to virtual working environments quickly after the advent of the pandemic and the resulting lockdowns.   What might have started as a response to a challenging situation is slowly gaining popularity because of the benefits it has offered remote working employees. Amid the echoes and growing clamor of adopting remote-work environments fully, or at least partially(hybrid work environments), once the pandemic is over, the words of visionaries like Mr. Branson have found new meaning today.   But what are the implications of having virtual teams and flexible working environments in the real world? Want to know more? Keep reading.   In this article, we will discuss the true implications of having a remote working environment driven by virtual teams and their flexible work hours. Our goal is to give you a complete picture by highlighting both the advantages and the disadvantages of the same. By the end, we will try to answer the question of the moment: Are virtual teams and flexible work hours a boon or bane? So, let’s begin.

And How? The Verdict (Conclusion) The Pandemic and Its Aftermath The cost of living through a global pandemic is to witness and adapt to rapid changes that occur all around us. The requirement to evolve day-to-day processes to match the needs and situational demands of a disease-ravaged world has never been more immediate and daunting in the last many decades.   When we talk about these daily processes, wage work and the working population, the bread-earners, have been the worst victims of the disruptions galore. Some have not been fortunate enough to continue making enough, or any money, to support themselves and their families, like many workers in the manufacturing, oil & gas, automotive, travel, and other physical labor-intensive industries.   In this regard, the IT and e-commerce sectors have remained relatively unscathed. The reason for this is the undercurrents and silent(mostly) reckonings, over the last few years, of shifting to remote working and hybrid work environments in the future. Unfortunately, that future they would often discuss came sooner than expected, and that too because of a deadly disease. Defining Virtual Teams Any group of individuals that cooperate and work together on any given project using digital communication lines through the internet is a virtual team. These individuals work remotely from a place of their choice(generally their homes). Virtual teams can accommodate individuals from different geographical locations across the globe, spanning multiple time zones.   Virtual teams leverage cutting-edge modern telecommunication channels — the technological revolution in the 21st century has truly transformed the communication game. There are plenty of avenues such as video-conferencing, real-time chatting features, audio conferencing, and many other tools for effective online collaboration.   Having virtual teams with flexible work hours comes with its own sets of advantages, and many companies have only realized their true potential once they embraced them as a compulsion in the last two years or so. That said, no good thing is ever completely perfect, and therefore, there exist a few disadvantages, or rather challenges of conducting business via virtual teams. Let’s weigh them both. Why are they important?   To hold and maintain the business continues Virtual teams in a remote working environment form the backbone of any organization because they ensure continuous delivery of services against the demand. Without remote employees, the continuity of business operations takes a severe hit, especially in conditions where in-office work has to be limited or completely shut down.  They are the Present and the Future Having seen the importance of virtual teams in the wake of the pandemic, most IT and E-commerce companies have realized that it’s not just a matter of meeting the present needs. Remote work is here to stay — it’s the future.  Advantages of Virtual Teams and Flexible Work Hours  First, we should look at the major benefits/advantages of deploying virtual teams. They are as follows: 1. Addressing the ‘Elephant in The Room’ first: Effective costs The costs of operating from a physical office are exorbitant. There are many places where a business has to invest a good amount of money to make a traditional office structure work smoothly and without glitches that hamper work quality and overall productivity. First and foremost, in-office work makes you spend on office rent and maintenance. Housing your teams in a building requires you to provide them with good infrastructure and an environment that makes them feel comfortable. Next are utilities like electricity, a fast & reliable internet connection, running water, water dispensers, microwaves, coffee machines, and much more. Adding to that, you need to have world-class equipment too, such as computers, servers, furniture, etc. In some cases, companies also have to cover the transport costs for their employees. We can go on and on about the list of expenses. Having virtual teams in remote work environments removes the burden of a majority of these costs. When you save costs on these expenses, you can repurpose and better invest the savings. Other important areas of your business can enjoy a monetary boost when you have virtual teams. For example, your marketing and SEO efforts can improve with an influx of funds. You can spend money on promotional strategies such as blogger outreach and paid ads, etc., to increase the visibility of your brand. You can also employ the help of SEO experts after analyzing the performance of your business website using a suitable backlink checker and other SEO audit tools. Also, one such tool is Website Crawler by Sitechecker. This tool will help you do a technical SEO audit of your site and find any critical issues. Overall, virtual teams provide a higher return on investment(ROI) and leave sizable savings in a company’s kitty. The cost-effectiveness of maintaining virtual teams is phenomenal. 2. Employees can have a healthier work-life balance One of the common complaints a majority of employees often cite in many surveys is not having a decent work-life balance. In-office work requires employees to manage quite a few other essential aspects in addition to their actual job. These are taxing and time-consuming. For example, employees have to commute to and from work, which in itself is a tiring and time taking essential activity.    This results in the reduction of their daily time that could have been spent with their family or managing their personal life. In a nutshell, in-office work offers little control to employees over their own time. The effects can be seen in the form of lower productivity rates and other challenges.    When employees work in virtual teams and enjoy flexible work hours, they have better control over their time and life. They save a lot of time that they would otherwise spend on unavoidable essential activities during in-office work.    Now they can spend more quality time with their family and use the rest of their leisure hours to indulge in calming activities like starting a new hobby or simply resting. They can also take time out to work on their fitness and maintain a healthy lifestyle. In addition, they have the ability to hop around and rent an apartment in Miami for a year, then San Diego afterward, and potentially even go international, all without worrying about job security due to location requirements.   If it's great talent you want to keep, the last thing you want to happen is for them to leave just because they're moving to a different place where your company has no office. 3. Opportunity to have access to a truly global talent pool One of the biggest advantages of having virtual teams is getting access to a diverse, highly qualified, and quality talent pool without worrying about the limitations of location. A remote work environment opens the door to hiring the best talent from across the world.   Companies don’t have to solely depend on the skills and talents available in and around a given location where they have a physical office. With virtual teams, the possibilities for recruiting deserving and best-quality employees are endless.    Removal of geographical limitations in recruiting employees offers many benefits. The work culture gets strengthened when motivated, talented, and hard-working individuals become a part of a company. Moreover, a company can hire great talent from less expensive countries and save costs on salaries.    Having virtual teams and flexible work hours also allows talented individuals with disabilities, responsibilities, or other situational factors that prevent them from working from a physical office to become a part of a company. 4. The ability to solve many scalability issues Sizable growth in a business is a cue for scaling up operations to more locations and increased size. There are many challenges, from monetary to operational ones, that act as a roadblock in the scaling-up process.A company needs to meet many conditions for scaling up a business. If you have to scale up by increasing the size of operations at the same location, you would require:   More office space More utilities and equipment like furniture, computers, cubicles, etc. More supplies and other miscellaneous items   In the case of scaling up to multiple locations, you can multiply the above requirements with the number of locations you want to add plus the costs of renting new office space at each location. Hiring virtual employees can help you scale up without worrying about any of these conditions and expenses. In virtual teams, employees take care of their equipment, work environment, and utilities. You would simply need to hire as many remote employees as you would require to scale up production.  5. Flexible work hours are linked to reduced turnover Flexible work hours don’t necessarily mean that an employee can work sporadically at any time they want. Instead, having flexible work hours means being able to choose your work window rather than sticking to a standard nine-to-five in-office schedule.    Employees in virtual teams may have the leeway of flexible working hours. When employees are allowed flexible scheduling in work-from-home jobs, they can work at a time when they feel most productive.    With flexible work hours, workers can change their schedules from time-to-time, to better manage their job responsibilities and relieve work-life conflicts. For these reasons, employees in such work environments tend to stick to their companies, reducing turnover. Thus, flexible work hours play a key role in employee retention. Additionally, you can provide your team with one of the best Mac time trackers so they have the opportunity to track their working hours and plan ahead for the next day. 6. Continuous availability of employees: Fostering a 24/7 work culture When your business can be operational all days of the week, 24 hours a day, the possibilities of generating more productivity, increased output, and higher revenue increase manifolds. A combination of virtual teams and flexible working hours can make your business functional 25x7, and nobody has to work extra shifts.   Virtual teams and flexible working hours let you hire from across the globe. When you have employees from different time zones, you can make teams that work on different schedules. In this way, you will have continuous availability of employees at all times.   Strategically planning the schedules of your globally scattered virtual teams will allow you to foster a work culture where your business is always functional, and no employee has to work extra for the same. The possibilities of extracting output will be monumental. 7. Increase in happiness and productivity of employees  You can make your employees happier by giving them the benefits of flexible work hours when they work in a virtual work environment. When employees work in virtual teams, they can save their commute time and control their working conditions.   As discussed before, when employees enjoy flexibility perks, they can devote time to improving their lifestyle and their physical health. A healthy and happy body leads to a happy mind, and it starts reflecting on the work quality of your employees.   The happiness of your employees will translate to improved productivity. According to a recent survey by Gartner, 43% of the people who undertook the survey believed that flexible working hours helped them achieve higher productivity levels. Another 30% thought that the time they saved by telecommuting enabled them to have improved productivity levels in comparison to their in-office work. 8. Meetings become more relevant In regular office working environments, we often see team meetings occurring frequently. Meetings happen even for discussing smaller issues that could be communicated or resolved over a text message or an email.   The frequency of meetings takes up much energy of HR managers and uses up valuable time that could have been invested in increasing productivity. You can avoid such issues with virtual teams.   The idea is that, with the limited hours that are available when every team member is online together, the frequency of meetings has to be dialed down and reserved for the most pressing issues only. While this reduces the number of meetings, it also improves the quality of the outcomes of all meetings that you conduct.   But how is the quality of meeting outcomes improved? Since meetings are scheduled only for essential reasons, the participants prepare well and only discuss what is relevant. Conducting virtual meetings is also less taxing for the HR department as they can use a video conferencing app that works best and ensure face-to-face interactions. 9. Positive environmental impact  We live in a world where the environmental impacts of our collective exploitation of nature in the past hundred years have resulted in catastrophic outcomes. Be it global warming, climate change, increased frequency of natural calamities, and much more.   Lately, industries have been called out for not doing their bit to mitigate their environmental impacts. There has been a rise in public movements that demand greater accountability from corporations and urge them to go green.   That said, your company should do its bit to take your customers into confidence about your efforts towards sustainability. Having virtual teams gives the much-required impetus to reducing your carbon footprint by doing away with the use of paper.   Additionally, when employees don’t have to travel to the office, it also reduces the greenhouse gas emissions that come from their commute to and from work. What are the challenges?  As we have covered the majority of the benefits of virtual teams and flexible work hours, now is the time to dive into the few challenges posed by the same. We need to have a clear understanding of these challenges to mitigate them going forward.  Virtual teams are considered harder to manage One of the biggest challenges with virtual teams is monitoring work progress by walking up to employee cubicles or having a quick chat about what could be done differently. Team-oriented departments require members to meet often, and with virtual work environments, they have to work out a suitable time for when every team member is available.    There can be delays in delivery owing to the difficulty of managing virtual teams and keeping everyone on the same page. Therefore, virtual teams are considered harder to manage by many companies.  Lack of social interaction may result in communication issues Companies fear having a lack of camaraderie and cohesiveness between their virtual team members. They have doubts about effective teamwork because of a lack of belief in effective communication through online channels. Their arguments stem from the challenges of having impromptu social interactions between team members that lead to better productivity in in-office work cultures.  Cybersecurity fears When you have virtual teams working for your company, there is a legitimate fear of compromising confidential company information to cyber-attacks and leaks. These fears are not overreactions as the risk of cyber-attacks has only increased in the last decade. Remotely storing information is a risky undertaking overall. Harder to replicate the work culture Not having personal team exposure daily also runs the risk of deviating from the work culture your company has always sworn by. Replicating the in-office work culture is seen as a daunting task in the case of remote work environments. There is a hesitancy that stems from doubts about effective communication between team members and managers. Can they be mitigated? And How? These are no challenges too big to be left unmitigated. We can easily take care of the doubts and fears that persist in remote work environments. You can easily manage your virtual teams through the following ways:   Ensuring effective communication and interaction between team members Since a majority of the challenges to virtual teams are regarding the communication aspect, you must pay extra attention to it. Technology has advanced to an unprecedented level, and there are plenty of communication tools that can effectively take care of all your communication doubts.   There are powerful messaging tools in the market designed specifically for virtual working environments to ensure real-time interaction between virtual team members, for example, Slack.   Video calling apps like Microsoft Teams, Troop Messenger, Zoom, Google Meet, etc., are more than well-equipped to ensure face-to-face connectivity between virtual employees and managers.   Using technology to manage employees and monitor their performance Management issues can be mitigated with the help of dedicated and powerful project management tools readily available online. You can effectively manage your remote workforce, right from organizing tasks to tracking employee progress. When you use tools such as Wrike and ClickUp, you can have better control over your virtual teams and how they approach their work.   Then there are performance management tools such as the Time Doctor that will help you minutely monitor the working process of your virtual teams and help you cast away your doubts about remote work.   Invest in secure cloud storage services and strict data-handling protocols to take care of cybersecurity challenges  You can prevent your company’s internal and confidential information from reaching the wrong hands by adopting strict data-handling compliances and rules for your virtual employees.   Use data encryption. Ask your employees to secure all data using strong passwords — use password manager tools. Have all your virtual employees use encrypted devices and ensure that they always use a VPN. Provide your virtual teams with updated antivirus software. Promote regular software updates.   You can also invest in reliable cloud storage services like Sync, OneDrive, and Dropbox. The Verdict (Conclusion) Quite clearly, there are many more arguments in favor of virtual teams and flexible work hours compared to the challenges they might pose. Not just that, when navigated with an open mind and the right solutions, most of the doubts, fears, and seemingly challenging aspects of remote work environments can be mitigated easily.   So, in conclusion, we can have our verdict:   Virtual teams and flexible working environments will only become more prevalent in the time to come, even when the restrictions of the pandemic are lifted. The benefits of virtual work environments outweigh their drawbacks, and for this very reason, virtual teams and flexible working hours are a boon.

How to Thrive as a Remote Business?
During the pandemic, many of us have become familiar with the concept of home working, but it’s few of us work in roles that are designed to be remote. Businesses have had to adapt to this new reality where digital tools have replaced the meeting room, and while some still hold on to the idea of the traditional office space, others are leaving it all behind – especially new companies. Whether you are working remotely or from the office, it is imperative to use LLC formation services while building your own business.   This model of working has many perks. You save money on office and travel costs while developing more efficient ways to complete tasks. But with remote working, it can be harder to connect as a team, network within the industry, and create a name for yourself. So how do you do it?    Choose a compelling domain As a new or revamped business entering the digital sphere, a strong domain and brand are everything. You need to catch people’s attention, especially if you sell all your products online. Finding this is not always easy. There are already a lot of great brand names and websites out there, making it difficult to choose one that stands out. That’s why it’s worth getting ideas for a new domain from a place like Domainify, which specializes in finding unique domain names for businesses. You can also use various AI business name generators, which can help you brainstorm business name ideas that are unique, memorable, and available as domain names and ensure your domain not only captures attention but also aligns perfectly with your brand identity, setting the stage for your online success. Use the best communication software Having challenging conversations and coming up with new ideas is never easy but being remote makes it even harder. Many make the mistake of ignoring the social element of their business, effectively creating a team of individuals with their own set of goals. But to thrive remotely, you need to get your communication sorted. This is easily fixed with solutions like Troop Messenger, a communication platform allowing you to chat, meet and solve problems together.  Become a real team And this leads us to the next important point: Socials. As a remote business owner, you are managing a team of people that you may never meet in person. That’s why it’s vital that you foster a sense of belonging amongst the team, a feeling of being part of the company. You can do this by planning remote away days, games, and other fun activities you can all do from home. Get to know who you are working with and don’t forsake all the usual things you would do in a physical office like checking in, setting goals, and aiding your employees’ professional development. Implement initiatives to improve employee wellbeing   Working from home is not always rosy. It can be lonely and not everything finds it as easy as they thought they would, especially during stressful times, or if they don't have homeowners insurance. The downside of working from your own home is that switching off becomes hard – especially in times of crisis. As Wall Street Journal recently reported, American workers are burned out and struggling to cope with the growing demands. The good news is that as a remote business, you are in a good position to put this right by implementing well-being initiatives. Encourage your team to take breaks, go for walks, and speak with colleagues – you might even want to introduce regular well-being days.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Doesn't the quote "Teamwork makes the Dream Work" sound euphoric? Let's break down the terms and talk about both 'Teamwork’ and ‘Dream Work' individually for a while. Table of Contents Teamwork Be the Leader, Not a Dictator Control the Attrition Rate Suppress your Favoritism Interpersonal Communication Business Meetings Appreciate in public, criticize in person Assign responsibilities Be a Friendly Manager Encourage the ideas Feedbacks Training Plan Social Outings Dream Work Teamwork 'Teamwork', when you repeat this word to your team, pay attention to the expressions that come out instinctively as a reaction; those faces reveal all about your beliefs. Ignoring those expressions, continuing to give a briefing on great teamwork will appear to be the same as a politician making promises to address public grievances, where both the politician and the public are well aware that they will not be fulfilled, and it is simply for the sake of filling the words the politician is uttering bluntly in the disguise of a leader. I'm sure you're aware that your teams are your internal customers. So, ask yourself what strategies you're doing to please your internal consumers and get them to participate in their jobs and responsibilities. If you believe you are paying the salary, is enough, and why you should facilitate them more in the name of motivation, then let me tell you, for your information, there is a difference between freelancers and teams. For example, if you are a customer, you will almost certainly choose a company's product that provides more advantages or services; similarly, why should your internal customers do the same by choosing another company in your company, which motivates the team? You are not doing them any favors; most companies have established strategies for motivating their employees, and you should as well. Team collaboration doesn't happen all by itself, all the different minds have to be assembled by you to drive towards the common goal. Learning to be a great team leader is tricky. It's a multi-dimensional role and people often feel that they need some training to help them. If you don't have time, the following are a few strategies, that are both practical and effective, that can make your dream work. Be the Leader, Not a Dictator One thing to keep in mind, although the role of manager or team leader may appear to be one of power, it is also one of responsibility, as you must manage or balance both your company and team expectations.                                                           You are the mediator between the company and the team, so don't give them orders and put them in a do-or-die situation, it will stress them out and make them wonder why they chose this company in the first place, let me remind you of a quote, ‘people don’t quit a job, they quit the boss’. So, check how flexible your team is, consider their concerns, and try to make an acknowledged decision, it will make them feel like they have a great leader. Never act like a dictator or a boss, instead, be a leader who stands and is with the team. Your team should aim to become a manager like you. Control the Attrition Rate If your team begins to leave your company, you will be given the additional task of hiring a new team on a cyclical basis. You will train the new team, and then they will leave the company to work for another company, where they will spend the majority of their first few months getting trained, especially freshers. They will gain the expertise in your company and gain the profit in another company by becoming their asset. The benefit of continuing to manage the company with the same team is;   You won't have to spend money or time on recruiting new employees. Your training team will be able to focus on more important activities such as grooming your employees. Your current employees will be loyal to the company. In comparison to a fresh team, an experienced team will take less time to complete a project or job and is more likely to succeed. The existing team will get stronger day by day, and reinstate the new version of effective teamwork daily, boosting the possibilities of your dream work.   Find the root cause, what is making your team leave your company, and try to correct it. If you make them a counteroffer just for the sake of stopping them to join another company, they may hold themselves for a while but considering the Harvard Business Review, they will leave the company very soon. Suppress your Favoritism You may have a good reason to pick favorites based on their work, timeliness, or demeanor, but avoiding showing favoritism in front of your team will encourage outstanding teamwork. Yes, no one wants to work for a boss who doesn't praise or recognize others' contributions because he or she is preoccupied with favoring their favorites. Your favorites are likely to take advantage of your cooperation and expect you to defend their actions, such as taking an unauthorized or unofficial position of influence over others while you are away. It may look to you as a responsibility, but it will undoubtedly appear to your colleagues as pretentious acts, which will disrupt everyone's peace of mind. This action will have a significant impact on your dream work. Treat everyone the same, regardless of their ability, position, or experience. Your job demands you to be a righteous manager, and as a result, every team member will feel comfortable approaching you with any topic. Interpersonal Communication Any industry's success is dependent on effective communication. You should be able to convey the company's work standards, vision, deadline, and other pertinent information to your team so that everyone is working toward the same objectives. You can discuss some communication quotes with your team in the daily briefing, it will determine the importance of communication. In some circumstances, your team members may require your level of expertise, but if they continue to work on vague suggestions of your subordinates while being unwilling to contact you, the overall result will suffer. As a result, be friendly with your team so that they can call you if they have any questions. Business Meetings Business Meetings in the workplace are supposed to be informative, but not tedious. So, during breaks, try to incorporate some fun activities or demonstrate your sense of humor; otherwise, your participants will stop paying attention and they will start acting, in the worst-case situation, they may fall asleep. If you don't use competent team communication tools like Troop Messenger or collaboration tools like an online presentation maker, you'll end up repeating your statements or spending half of the meeting checking whether the message was understood. Appreciate in public, criticize in person Finding opportunities to appreciate your team members, or making a habit of recognizing one team member each day for their previous day's work among the team, will increase team productivity and confidence. If you need to correct or criticize someone, invite them to your cabin or meet with them in person to discuss the incident, but also provide them a solution on how they may avoid it in the future. If it's not a matter of integrity or legitimacy, don't take drastic measures, instead, allow them to take considerable time to change. Remember, "Rome was not built in a day", and anyone's transformation will take time. I'm sure you didn't come in as an expert on your first day of work, your seniors and managers shaped you to be the best. Assign responsibilities Everyone is not equal, and everyone will not possess the same quality, so assign additional or essential responsibilities, as per their expertise. It will give them a sense of motivation and validation of their capabilities, in addition, it makes them feel more accountable. Be a Friendly Manager Effective team management is an elusive process, so you can’t afford to slip away from being righteous. Talk to your team, and take their opinion for every random month. Some of the best ways to approach them are, asking them to use their leaves to get relax, moreover, suggesting some ideal places is not a bad idea, or you can ask them why they are not utilizing their leaves. Unless and until it is legitimate, it is completely alright to help them for the benefit of their personal life. Be their role model, they should get undertrained by you, and be the best you are. Encourage the ideas When you conduct a meeting or one on one session with your team, try to encourage them in giving their perspective. Sometimes, their ideas may create wonders in the process of handling a team, or product. If you are rejecting the idea, do it respectfully, and let them know your reason why their idea is not applicable. In a project, allowing your team members to bring new perspectives, and ideas will aid them to solve problems more quickly, which not only increases team productivity at the workplace, in addition, it also enhances their technological expertise. Feedbacks Giving team members feedback is one of the most successful strategies, that not only assists them in improving their abilities but also aids in increasing team productivity. As aforesaid implied, there is no such thing as a perfect team, you must create one. Giving well-crafted criticism to team members who don't do as well as their peers would inspire them to improve their skills and be kind in assisting them when needed. Use all your experience to talk with them, about how to deal with such situations, this gesture will not only encourage them, but it will also show how empathic you are with your team. Training Hold the training sessions for every random period, it will make them more strong, and whoever requires training will get trained and become a valuable asset to the team and the company. With the help of training, they can learn new market trends and can get hands-on experience with new tools. Training makes your team adaptable to change flexibly and molds it to their advantage. Plan Social Outings Take it or leave it, this factor is crucial in enticing your team and increasing their belief in their ability to perform better. I understand that you will need to set aside a budget for it, but why do you think large or corporate firms organize social outings for their employees? It's an applied and proven strategy for encouraging your employees. Plan a social outing at least once a year, or if your project succeeds or you have an achievement to celebrate. It's all about making your dream work. Dream Work When you have a dream, you must evaluate what it will take to achieve it, gather all of the criteria, and employ a skilled team. If you hire two mediocre members to fill a senior member job, you will certainly, get to see mediocre results. And, in the process, neglecting your team's motivation results in ignorance of your dream work. It is your dream work, and your vision, the conviction, and the efforts you show towards it, certainly, you can’t expect the same from your family members, so how can you make your team as determined as you are? All you can do is be with your team at every step, encourage them with every achievement, and never leave a stone unturned in boosting the spirit of teamwork. Your team can be as good as you and vice versa you as a manager to outshine as good as your team.   TEAM - Together Everyone can Achieve More.   You may be astonished to learn, why teamwork contains so much content and dreamwork has so little; yet, if your team and planning are perfect, you are only a few miles away from success; in other words, 'your teamwork makes the dream work’.
Doesn't the quote "Teamwork makes the Dream Work" sound euphoric? Let's break down the terms and tal...

Amazing Black Friday and Cyber Monday SaaS Deals for 2022
I recall seeing on the news people in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries rushing into supermarkets and grabbing electronic products and other items; for a brief moment, I mistook them for vandals robbing the market, but later I was shocked to learn on the news that it was Black Friday, and the announced discounts presented as best Black Friday deals which had caused people to rush for the deals. What is Black Friday? In the United States, the Friday following Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday. Many retailers such as jewellers, electronics, etc. advertise heavily discounted prices and open as early as midnight or even on Thanksgiving Day. To your surprise software companies also offers Black Friday software deals to attract new users. And evidently, few software companies expanded their market owing to Black Friday deals on software. The story begins in 1939 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to shake things up a little in the cause of capitalism. Since Abraham Lincoln's time, Thanksgiving has been observed on the last Thursday of the month. However, according to the media, the calendar in 1939 was exceptional, as the November month began on a Wednesday, resulting in five Thursdays rather than four. President Roosevelt made an amendment of relocating the national holiday to the second-to-last Thursday of the month to restore some order, to which people expressed their unhappiness. Rather than emphasizing the negative aspects of his decision, Roosevelt attempted to justify it by citing a pro-shopping argument, businesses would have a holiday closer to Christmas, allowing for extra shopping time. In some ways, this was the forerunner to the consumer mania known as Black Friday, which began about 80 years ago. It is said that the phrase ‘Black Friday’ first appeared in 1961 in Philadelphia when it was coined by police to characterize the increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic that would occur the day after Thanksgiving. What is Cyber Monday? The Monday following Thanksgiving is known as Cyber Monday. It is a made-up marketing term for e-commerce transactions in the United States on this auspicious day following Thanksgiving. Retailers developed this marketing strategy to entice people to shop online. The word was coined by Ellen Davis of the National Retail Federation and Scott Silverman and first appeared in a Shop.org press release on November 28, 2005, titled ‘Cyber Monday'. In a short time, it quickly became one of the year's biggest online shopping days. How Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) can be helpful for SaaS Companies? You may be surprised to see this question and start thinking about how the surge of sales confined to retailers and online can divert SaaS companies, but to answer your query, yes even SaaS companies did earn from Black Friday and Cyber Monday with their best Black Friday software deals. Sales Opportunities Following the line causes ants to emit scented molecules called pheromones, which they use to communicate with one another, and the trail becomes noticeable as more ants follow it. Similarly, SaaS companies issued discounts under the names of Black Friday SaaS deals and Cyber Monday SaaS deals, based on the trend and sales peak of retailers and e-commerce sites. Regardless of whichever SaaS company advertised SaaS Black Friday deals and maintained them during the weekend, sales increased far more than on any other day. Inadvertently SaaS Black Friday has become one of the best marketing strategies for SaaS companies. Serendipity Publicity Given the in-built reputation of these days, any software company that would market its products, services, etc. in the name of  Black Friday SaaS deals would get to see high redemption. These are the days that can turn your every marketing campaign or SaaS deal into a successful strategy. All you have to do is advertise the appropriate offer with the appropriate messaging. Strengthen your Customer Base One universal strategy that is not an exception and can induce any customer irrespective of geographical location is the word ‘discount’ and when it is given heavily who doesn’t get lured into it? BFCM is an opportunity to increase sales in a short amount of time while also extending your customer base over time. It takes place not just in the United States and the United Kingdom, but also in most major marketplaces across the world. Predictions on Black Friday 2022 The day following Thanksgiving, Black Friday remains the busiest single shopping day of the year. Unfortunately, COVID-19, potentially in combination with other reasons, led to $9 billion in online spending on Black Friday and $10.8 billion on Cyber Monday in 2020. According to NRF's forecasts, retail sales for the entire November-December shopping months should increase this year by 6% to 8% over the holiday season of 2021, to a range of $942.6 billion and $960.4 billion. The prediction for this year follows the unprecedented 13.5% rise in 2017 brought on by pandemic causes and is still significantly higher than the 4.9% average over the previous ten years. The figures account for non-store sales such as those made online and elsewhere, which should rise between 10% and 12% to $262.8 billion and $267.6 billion. Best Black Friday SaaS Deals 2022 1.

Splashtop vs TeamViewer vs LogMeIn: Compare The Best Remote Management Tools
Remote desktop software enables teams to stay connected and productive while working remotely more effectively through screen-sharing technology. From the pandemic's start through early April, the small desktop software category on TrustRadius showed a 281% spike in traffic. Remote desktop capabilities and free programs like TeamViewer are becoming increasingly important, according to software purchasing data from April 2020. Similar growth has been seen in other connective technologies such as online conferencing software and learning management systems (LMS). Over half of the firms anticipate increasing their spending on remote desktop software, according to a survey of over 2,000 members of the TrustRadius community.   The average weekly traffic for the remote desktop category was 2,749 pageviews between April 2019 and February 2020. During March and April 2020, this grew by about 16 times. With 46,363 page views each week, this amounted to a 1,587 percent increase in average traffic per week. Table of Contents What Is Remote Desktop Software? How Does Remote Desktop Work? Uses of Remote Desktop Software Benefits of Remote Desktop Software The Best Remote Management Tools LogMeIn TeamViewer  Splashtop Splashtop vs TeamViewer vs LogMeIn: Which Is the Best Among Them? Conclusion What Is Remote Desktop Software?   A user can connect to and interact with a computer in another place via an internal network or the Internet using remote desktop software. The remote desktop software allows users to see and manage a connected computer or laptop as if they were in front of it. Collaboration, technical assistance, and demonstrations all benefit from remote desktop software. How Does Remote Desktop Work?   Remote desktop software works by connecting a local and remote computer over the internet or a network. The installation process varies depending on the software you're using, but here's how it usually goes. The app must be installed on the distant computer to which you want to connect. You'll be given an access ID or key that you can share with others to allow them to use your computer. You can also add another computer to your account by logging in on the remote or host computer. The remote computer will authenticate the local user when the local computer user seeks access to the host. Once validated, the local user has full access to the remote computer's desktop and specific folders and apps.   Uses of Remote Desktop Software There are a variety of uses for remote desktop access, depending on the software. This software can be used in a variety of ways, as seen below. Managed Service Providers The remote management protocol (RMP) enables managed service providers (MSPs) to provide immediate and practical solutions to their client's problems worldwide. It helps them save time and money which would have been spent on logistics. IT Professionals IT support organizations and tech personnel can benefit from the remote desktop for a more convenient work environment. Remote desktop enables them to resolve issues without being there physically. This saves money and time while increasing the efficiency and productivity of the work.  Customer Support Instead of simply talking on the phone with their customers, customer service representatives can use a remote desktop protocol to provide real-time solutions as if they were standing right in front of their computers. This can help clients and customer service providers avoid misunderstandings and disagreements. Personal Use Users with multiple devices can use the remote desktop protocol to connect them remotely. They can also manage and support the instruments of their loved ones if they have any troubleshooting issues on their own. Benefits of Remote Desktop Software Remote desktop software provides several benefits, which are especially valuable in today's interconnected and mobile world. Here are some of the key advantages of using remote desktop software: Flexibility You are no longer confined to your office desk to get a project done. You can use remote management software to complete tasks while working from your home. This helps take care of your work responsibilities and obligations outside of the office. Speed If you're an IT support professional who needs to respond to a computer problem for a five miles away client, you might want to consider using a remote desktop. With this screen-sharing software technology, you can quickly resolve their issues from your site rather than driving an hour or more to your client's location.   People who prefer to work from parks or libraries can use the remote desktop protocol to get tasks done. Wherever they are, they can still beat deadlines and meet business requirements as long as they have an internet connection and an efficient remote desktop connection manager. Savings The advantage of a remote desktop is that it enables a more robust BYOD (Bring Your Device) environment. Employees can bring their laptops to work instead of investing in office essentials like chairs, tables, and computers, allowing your company to save money and avoid unnecessary spending.   Imagine working in your favorite pajamas while sitting next to your cat or working on a client's problem in the privacy of your room. The remote desktop protocol reduces attrition and increases productivity. The Best Remote Management Tools You consider several things when looking for an affordable platform that can rapidly and safely send sensitive data online, from a small business wishing its staff to work remotely without taking their laptops home to an enterprise having to offer technical help to its clients.   We compared Splashtop vs TeamViewer vs LogMeIn remote desktop software for pricing, security, functionality, and reputation, among other factors. LogMeIn   LogMeIn is one popular remote desktop software alternative to TeamViewer. Its capabilities are intended for large businesses, and it is owned by the same company that owns other team collaboration products like GoToMeeting. One of the key players in the LMS development company is LogMeIn, which provides remote access and support solutions for businesses of all sizes. You also get some unique benefits, such as 1 TB of cloud storage and a subscription to LastPass Premium (a password management service) included in every plan. You may use LogMeIn's app or use any web browser to access the majority of its features. Unfortunately, LogMeIn's free version is no longer available.  Login Features   Remote printing enables you to print documents from your local host computer to a computer that is accessed remotely. File manager — files can be transferred back and forth between the host and remote systems. The sounds from the host computer can be heard on the remote computer via slight sound. Users can share their computer with a guest user via desktop sharing (sometimes easier than screen sharing) File sharing - allows you to exchange files that are too large to send by email with other people. Local drives can also be mapped to the remote workstation via drive mapping. LastPass access - includes a password manager, which is helpful if you need to remember many remote login credentials. LogMeIn Files - offers cloud storage space for accessing files from numerous remote PCs.   Pros    It's simple to set up and utilize. Allow limitless users to access the machine and files. File transfer using drag-and-drop (only available on Windows) Screen sharing and multi-monitor displays. Mac, Android, Windows, and iOS are all supported. 256-bit AES encryption, double passwords, and end-to-end authentication provide a high level of security. Every plan includes 1 TB of cloud storage. Phone and ticket help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.   Cons    On the expensive side Various features are missing from the Mac version that is not available in the free version.   TeamViewer    TeamViewer is a sophisticated free version for non-commercial usage that is excellent for business, enterprise-level users, and IT organizations and with among the best collaboration tools. With some of the most significant security we've seen in a remote access tool, this feature-rich software supports numerous platforms and devices. You have 24/7 access to remote PCs and servers and the ability to administer innumerable systems simultaneously. It also comes with easy file sharing, a VPN alternative, and up to 25-person online meetings. TeamViewer Features   Easy deployment - for TeamViewer Remote Desktop setup, either construct your deployment streamer or utilize the standard deployment streamer. Remote PC wake - enables a hidden user to wake a sleeping node, but it must first be turned on. File transfer has the same feature as LogMeIn's file transfer. Secures remote access payload data while it travels across the internet. Local drives can also be mapped to the remote workstation via drive mapping. LastPass access - includes a password manager, which is helpful if you need to remember many remote login credentials. LogMeIn Files - offers cloud storage space for accessing files from numerous remote PCs.   Pros    The version is available for free (strictly for personal use). The interface is slick and straightforward to use. Overall, the connection speeds are fast. Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, iOS, and Blackberry OS are all supported. All of the features of Windows and Mac OS X are both supported. Two-factor authentication and 256-bit AES encryption provide strong security.   Cons    Paid plans, it is more expensive than others. Large file transfers can take a long time. Some users claim that they were denied access to the free version even though they were only using it for personal purposes. On weekends, phone tech help is unavailable.   Splashtop   SplashTop is a TeamViewer equivalent with an effective team management solution for people and small organizations (albeit it does not have a free version). SplashTop, unlike RemotePC, requires you to upgrade to a higher plan to use certain of its features, such as chat and session recording.   However, for $99 per user per year, you can have multi-screen displays, remote wake, and a slew of other extras that RemotePC lacks. Splashtop's Solo plan offers you access to two computers, which is a massive bonus for solo users. You can only utilize one PC with most other one-user programs. SplashTop also has a business plan and a separate remote access product for IT and support personnel. Splashtop Features   High-performance engine — delivers high-quality graphics, sound, and a fast remote connection using a high-performance engine. Access from any device - even though it isn't explicitly mentioned in LogMeIn's features, you may access remote devices from practically any device, including mobile iOS and Android smartphones. Easy deployment - for Splashtop Remote Desktop setup, either construct your deployment streamer or utilize the standard deployment streamer. Remote PC wake - enables a hidden user to wake a sleeping node, but it must first be turned on. File transfer Has the same feature as LogMeIn's file transfer. Secures remote access payload data while it travels across the internet. LogMeIn's remote print feature is the same as this. Users can invite others to watch a remote session using group view. Chat - chat software allows you to communicate with people who are far away. User administration — the ability to assign roles and permissions to users.   Pros   Plans that are within your budget. The interface is minimalistic and straightforward. Quick connection speeds. File transfers with drag-and-drop. Multi-monitor displays in their entirety (with the higher plan) Supports TLS and 256-bit AES encryption, device authentication, two-step verification, and several 2nd-level password options for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Chrome.   Cons   Installation is more involved than with comparable software (especially for Macs) To gain many features, you'll need to upgrade to a higher plan. Only with a higher plan can you get priority tech support (phone support hours are unlisted on the website)   Splashtop vs TeamViewer vs LogMeIn: Which Is the Best Among Them? I am afraid I don't have the correct answer regarding which screen-sharing software is better than the other. The three remote management tools are among the best in the industry, and I will leave it to you to test and decide which is best for your team or company. If pricing means a lot to you, go for the least pricey; if interface matters most, go for the best. If customer support means the most to you, go for it. Conclusion Investing in remote management tools leads to a more productive and efficient work culture on a planet where modern business dynamics demand swift and immediate solutions. You can also maximize your work efficiency by understanding what remote management software is capable of. Remote saves you money in the long run and also lowers your employee rate of attrition. The best time to include remote desktop technology into your work function is now! It will be of great help to you and your company.
