Digital Collaboration

In the professional environment, email is still the most frequently used means of communication. From quick coordination between colleagues to external communication with business partners and data exchange, it covers the entire communication chain of business correspondence.

However, e-mail is not the ideal means of communication for every purpose. It lacks efficiency, immediacy and real time. Email still has the character of correspondence - after all, it replaced letters and faxes at some point in the distant past.

There are many digital technologies and services for collaboration - "digital collaboration tools" - and they are quickly made available. Modern examples include Trello and Jira (task, project and process management), Doodle (scheduling), Confluence (knowledge management & central team workspace), messaging programs such as Signal, Threema and WhatsApp or integrated solutions such as Teams, Slack or Yammer. Many of these tools are used out of situational necessity, without much forethought. This results in many advantages, but there are also disadvantages.

If employees start using these tools unprepared, problems can arise: Important legal aspects may go unnoticed, the full potential of the tool may not be exploited or the technical solutions may not be properly integrated with the organizational processes.
