of your communication equation and replace it with ChatWork to increase
productivity”. That is the message at this year’s Startup Asia Conference
Singapore 2013 @ Biopolis. The event was held from the 4th & 5th
of April 2013 by Tech in Asia, with ChatWork having a booth (Booth 66) manned
by staffs from both Malifax and ChatWork.

The norm would be using emails that can take up most of your time just by replying to them. This will eventually reduce productivity and response time, which will in turn cost businesses to lose potential opportunities. One way to overcome that is to use a chat-style communication tool, like Skype or WhatApps. However, there are limitations for these consumer based communication tools to be integrated into the work environment.
Firstly, the “chat” and files shared are not encrypted,
meaning they are not secure for the work environment. Secondly, the files
shared are not archived, thus you will have to send or receive the files again
if you could not find the files sent during the chat. Lastly, you are not able
to assign tasks to specific people within the chat or group chat.
So what about communication tools for businesses? There are
many business communication tools out in the market at the moment. However, most
have a longer learning curve for each user and it is pricey too.
ChatWork aims to solve all the problems that you are
currently facing. It simplifies your business communications and is hassle free
as it is browser based. Unlike other internal communication tools, ChatWork has
recognized the need for mobility, thus they have integrated their software on
iOS and Android platforms. You are able to create group chats that have SSL
encryption, assign tasks and send files that will be archived in the cloud.
Now you will be wondering, how much will it cost? The answer is, not a lot. With a free
version that comes with 400MB of cloud storage and up to 14 group chats. You
will be able to evaluate ChatWork worry-free. The paid version is just US$19
per month for 10 users and comes with 10GB of cloud storage, unlimited group
chats and admin features. Of cause ChatWork is able to cater to more than 10
users.
The business environment is constantly evolving and changing
at an ever faster pace. Emails are now the stone-age technology for business
communications and the future is real-time chat based communications. So why
wait? Try out ChatWork today!
