Productivity applications help groups of people, mostly employees, to get more work done in less time through effective collaboration and communication. If these apps are used prudently, it can help you organize workflow, boost individual and team productivity and improve work-life balance. But when companies use different tools for messaging and collaboration, it results in communication silos. Searching and finding the right information becomes an impossible task. Moreover, you might miss out on key business insights, toggling between different applications.

According to Mobility, Performance and Engagement report, 42% of the employees have said that ability to access information quickly and…

Ever since its launch and runaway success, Slack has been dominating the team collaborative applications market with more than 13 million daily active users. But good things don’t last forever.

Of late, Slack has been at the receiving end. It is steadily conceding its market share to other behemoths like Microsoft and Facebook. Slack, that lost its numero uno position to Microsoft Teams, is also facing competition from the ever-growing list of new entrants like Zangi, Ryver, Stackfield, Kipwise, Clariti… .

Though these new players may pose challenges for Slack, small and medium enterprises across the world can look forward…

According to Statista, 269 billion emails were sent and received each day worldwide in 2017, and that figure is expected to grow to almost 320 billion daily emails in 2021. Radicati breaks down the daily email traffic into a bit more detail. As of 2018, there were about 124.5 billion business emails sent and received each day. Another report says an average office worker receives 121 emails per day.

As an employee, if you are expected to act upon these emails, it can come only at the cost of significant time and productivity. Is there a way to reduce the…

Inspiration strikes in the most unlikely of places. So, as I’m sitting up late on a Saturday night binging on the latest Netflix craze “Dark”, I hear the words jumping at me from the TV screen:

Our thinking is shaped by dualism

Entrance, exit. Black, white. Good, evil.

Everything appears as opposite pairs.

But that’s wrong.

Have you heard of the triquetra?

The trinity knot.

Nothing is complete without a third dimension.

There isn’t only up and down. There is a center too.

Sic Mundus Creatus Est.

And it’s at that precise moment, I think to myself that dualism stares…

In most organizations, communication is scattered across different systems. These communication silos pose challenges when it comes to gathering information about a particular topic. While some tools support email, chat, and video conferencing, the information is still disconnected due to the absence of a topic-based threading mechanism. As you read through, you will understand what topic-based threads are, and how Clariti has implemented them to help you to save time and become more organized.

Evolution of threads

Most people are familiar with email threads. This is a chain of emails on the same topic going back and forth between multiple recipients. Many times…

The way we communicate at work has changed as more and more people work remotely and teams are geographically spread. What started out as simple emails has now grown to instant messages, social media, cloud document sharing, and voice-over-IP communications. What makes this worse is that each communication medium is a silo and the recipient has to connect all the information in her head to make sense of it all. This is extremely stressful. Clariti brings all these communication forms to one place and connects them, so it is very easy to maintain context.

Let’s see how Clariti is unique…

Online collaboration has made communication incredibly easy by solving the problem of time and distance. Through online collaboration, teams can work from diverse locations and engage in asynchronous communication without the need for physical presence. While instant messaging and emails have drastically reduced the ‘waiting time’ for information, tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Clariti have helped employees better organize their communication and increase productivity. The big question to ask is: Can the online collaboration completely replace face-to-face meetings?

In spite of the deep economic downturn because of the current pandemic, the benefits brought about by online collaboration has been…

Our typical workday is filled with overflowing emails, pings from group chats, meeting invitations, to-do reminders etc. A study shows that office workers are interrupted by distractions roughly every 11 minutes. After every distraction, it normally takes around 25 minutes for employees to return to their tasks. Apart from personal distractions, digital distractions like emails, smartphones, social media, text messages and most importantly the multiple productivity apps that we use to accomplish various tasks compounds the situation.

Using multiple apps in the workplace prevents employees from focusing on important tasks. Every employee, on an average, spends 32 days in a…
