Each month we ask the guys at Virtec for some IT tips and advice, this month we asked if they could tell us their best business and productivity apps and software to help businesses.

We all need to focus on our business first and foremost, but sometimes organising or structuring what we are doing to achieve our goals can be slow and cumbersome. Thankfully, there are some fantastic applications and software on the market that can assist us with this! This month we will look at some of these products, with an aim to increase our productivity and in turn our profitability!

Do you need to need to get documents signed electronically? Do you need to send encrypted/secure emails? If you answered yes to any of these questions you need the little red button in your email platform that can do all of these things!

Think of Trello like a bunch of sticky notes, all organised into categories of your own creation, with handy tick boxes to mark when done or mark off list items. You can also collaborate with other staff or groups.

A great piece of software for recording your screen. This can be used to show staff or clients how to do something, create guides or to simply share something you have found.

Need to keep track of time? This will let you track your working time to ensure your billing clients correctly, keep track of your own time and even schedule your time depending on your diary. It’s time to start tracking your time!

Require sending large documents or files over the internet? Look no further than WeTransfer! With the free version allowing up to 2gb of files transfers and the paid version offering 1tb, this should be plenty for anyone’s requirements!

The key to any business is communication! Microsoft Teams is one of the best team communications software out there. If you just need to send a message, create a collaborative group, share files, or quickly create a video chat can all be done on the platform! Your Teams await!

Need to create or design a presentation, social media post or video in a flash? This is the platform for you! Quick and easy to navigate and use, you’ll be designing things in a flash!
