Collaborative Working

Your company can gain huge benefits from collaborative working including using collaborative applications – gaining knowledge, good practice and information sharing with your employees. You may be able to increase your competitive advantage by speeding up decision making and increasing business communications across your channels.

Collaborative software

Collaborative software or groupware is application software designed to help people involved in a common task to achieve their business goals. Below is a list of our favourite Collaborative Software and their features:

Slack – A collaboration tool which needs no introduction
Slack is one of the most popular collaboration tools, with millions of users around the globe. It’s an incredibly smart platform, and you can get it on mobile and desktop devices. It allows for the sending of direct messages (DMs) and files to a single person or a group of employees, and there’s the ability to organise conversations into different channels.

dapulse – Visual Project Management Tool 
dapulse is a project management tool your team will enjoy using. It makes it fun and easy for everyone to collaborate, focus on what’s important, and get more done at work. It’s the first visual tool of its kind and shows you exactly where things stand at a single glance.

Front – The shared inbox for collaborative teams
Front is the first shared inbox for teams that brings all of your external business communication into a single collaborative platform. Manage all email addresses, Facebook, Twitter, chat, and SMS, with more transparency and accountability. Delegate, assign, and share messages with teammates, and collaborate using internal comments and drafts before responding to customer conversations.

Testimonials

Fire & Security

“I’ve known and worked with United Business Group for a number of years and we have been very happy with their services. We are not a big company but are treated with respect and courtesy throughout this time. We upgrade our print solution every few years and have also been supplied with our own ID card machine. We would happily recommend United Business Group to our customers and partners.”

Managing Director
Bespoke Detection Services Ltd

Education

“Our experience has surpassed expectations from start to finish.  As a large school, we are always looking to make savings wherever possible and the level United Business Group have gone to in order to find and realise the savings has made a huge difference.  On a yearly basis, we continue to save tens of thousands of pounds and this is thanks to their detailed and highly professional process and service. We are particularly impressed with their response should there be any issues.”

Business Manager
The Regis School – United Learning

International Charity

“I cannot say enough about how great United Business Group have been since our relationship started. It is important for us to work with suppliers who are not only professional and trustworthy but who also provide accurate, prompt and courteous services.  Their staff have accomplished these traits during our relationship over the years, and we are very pleased with their professionalism and added human touch whenever we call.  We are also very impressed with their impeccable customer service and follow-up, and we will be recommending them to others.”

Financial Services

United Business Group has been pivotal in helping our business move away from our incumbent supplier, due to the lack of care and response. Not only did they fully investigate and supply the correct solutions, they did this, with ease, across various U.K. Sites, without disruption or downtime, helping the company move forward with new technologies and under budget.

One year on from migration and installation, our savings have been incredible. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone, no detail was too small, they truly are a front-runner, unlike others that just want your business. They continue to improve on services and are very proactive, helping the business move forward.

Property

I have worked with United Business Group for over 20 years and always found them to be extremely helpful, friendly and effective. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that spends time finding a suitable solution for our needs and not just the most profitable one for them. They are always on hand to provide excellent support to keep our business running efficiently!

Security

We at AP Security have worked with Terry and United Business Group for over twenty years and during that time we have taken delivery of many machines as our business has expanded.

I would truly recommend them to provide their services. They are extremely dependable and reliable. We first started dealing with them when we purchased printer/copiers and over the past few years, they now look after our I.T. needs as well as our PAT testing.

United Business Group has been providing our managed services and printing needs for over 10 years. The team have always provided an outstanding level of customer service and we would highly recommend United Business Group to our business associates.
