This article summarizes some of the key tips and provides a link to download the infographic. If you prefer a video, there’s a link below to the video version of the infographic.
Tip 1: Automatic synchronization solution
Look for a solution that automatically synchronizes contacts and shared calendars with users in bulk. Solutions that require manual synchronization are not scalable and end up being time-consuming and expensive, especially for large organizations.
Tip 2: Solution with incremental update functionality
Save time and effort by choosing a solution that updates gradually. Solutions with incremental update functionality offer scalability that full updates don’t.
Tip 3: Granular control over contact lists and recipients
Granular control of contact lists and recipients is an important feature, as you don’t want to synchronize thousands of contacts with every member of the company.
Tip 4: No user training or client configuration required
A SaaS solution should be so easy to use that training each new user isn’t necessary. In fact, that’s poor time management. Instead, choose a « set-it-and-forget-it » solution to save your business time and resources that can be used to solve other business problems.
Tip 5: Security and GDPR compliance
The solution must protect company assets. For example, you wouldn’t want a solution that could bypass your firewalls. And, if your company operates in the European Union, GDPR compliance is essential.
