When a position opens up at your company, you go through many applications and rounds of interviews to make sure you are choosing the right addition to your team. You need to ensure they are capable of the job at hand, as well as making sure they fit in with the culture of your company. This can be a long process, but once you choose the right person, everything should work smoothly.
Then, on their first day, you give them the basic office tools - desk, computer, email, phone and chair. But what else? How do you know they can keep organized at their job? How do they know how to communicate and collaborate with other team members?

Even in today’s economy, there are new small businesses starting up left and right. Once an idea is formed, a multitude of meetings have to occur to plan for success, such as making sure the business strategy is secure, identifying the sales and marketing plan and key messaging, and targeting the right prospects.
It’s a true fact that there are too many meetings in business. On the flip side, it is true that meetings do need to exist. The trick is making meetings as efficient and effective as possible.
When working with OnePlace as your online collaboration solution, discussions play an important role in eliminating the need for multiple meetings, and can impact the major decisions that make a business successful.

Over the weekend, we were honored to be included in an article in the PioneerPress, one of two major dailies in these parts (and one whose circulation is actually growing). It appeared in Sunday's business section: "Private Twitter-like microblogging services can facilitate communication, cooperation among employees working on the same team or project." 
The writer was longtime local technology reporter Julio Ojeda-Zapata, who also happens to be one of the most plugged-in reporters in the country in the ways of social media, including Twitter (he's even written a book, just being released: "Twitter Means Business").
