Instant communication and collaboration are essential to creative teams. Working with a digital agency can be stressful  when there's large chunks of information that needs to be delivered to multiple people in a short time frame. To have instant communications with internal stake holders and team members, tools like Skype  keep the communication flow moving forward. Email is not the answer for teams. 

Here’s 5 reasons why we use Skype instead:

Instant File Sharing

With Skype, sharing files is as easy as clicking, dragging, and dropping. You can share any file without worrying about file size or type. Create a group chat and send files to everyone at once.

Free Instant Messaging and Video Calling  

Skype has the ability to connect teams through instant messaging and video calls. This is an ideal way to connect separate locations or team members who work remotely. Plus, it’s free!

Available on Any Mobile Device

Skype is available on any desktop or mobile device. This keeps teams in communication regardless of their location.

Security

Using Skype will help improve your team’s security. Skype encrypts all files, instant messages, and video/voice calls sent through their servers. This extra layer of security is what sets Skype apart from non encrypted regular phone calls.

Low Cost Calling and Recording

Skype offers high quality desktop-to-phone calling at a low cost. This is particularly useful if you have international clients. Calls can also be recorded and viewed later for analysis and training.

Skype is an incredible low cost tool available to everyone. It’s becoming more and more commonplace in the workforce as companies see the value it brings. If you’re not already using Skype in your organization, today is the day to start!
