So we were curious to learn how Joe and the rest of the Today’s Business team put Zight (formerly CloudApp) to work to improve their workflows.
“I would say the biggest workflows Zight (formerly CloudApp) improves would be training, client communications, sales / PR outreach, and internal communication for creative design.”
It’s WAY easier to onboard new employees, and/or train current ones, when you can show them videos, rather than asking them to read a complex manual. With Zight (formerly CloudApp), TB staff is able to capture their screens to illustrate processes, create product demos, and more.
Client communication is easier with Zight (formerly CloudApp), too. Instead of sending long-winded emails, for example, Joe and his team send videos, GIFs, and annotated screenshots that clearly showcase the edits they’ve made and the next steps they plan to take.
The benefits of client communication extend to internal dialogue as well. With Zight (formerly CloudApp), TB employees are able to share ideas with each other faster and more effectively.
