The Top 5 Technologies to Improve Office Productivity
Jordan Raynor, a digital strategist, provided TwoTen Magazine with the top five technologies to improve productivity. Read about them in the following article...
It seems like every day, there are new technological tools to help make work more productive. These tools are becoming better and less expensive all the time. Here, I highlight five of my favorite office productivity tools that I would recommend for nearly any business in any industry.
1. Harvest
Time is money. Do you have the tools to track it wisely? If not, Harvest is the solution you and your team needs. Harvest does time tracking better than anyone else on the market. Whether you are on your mobile phone, your desktop or your browser, Harvest makes it easy for everyone on your team to track their time. Smart businesses recognize that time tracking is not just for agencies or law firms who bill by the hour. If you are paying employees or contractors to do a job, you should know how their time is being spent. This is especially true of salaried employees. I have used Harvest in a big team (15+) and I have used it as a sole proprietor. Harvest makes it easy for me to instantly see where my precious time is going. Plans start at just $12 per month, and you can cancel anytime.

2. Google Apps For Business
Chances are good that you use many Google products at home and maybe even at work: Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Voice, etc.. What would we do without these amazing tools? What if I told you that you and your employees can use all of these amazing tools under your company’s domain name and brand? Yup! For $5 a month per user, you and your employees can use all of the Google products you love under your company’s domain name. I have used Google Apps in every organization I have managed for the past four years. In my opinion, it is the single most undervalued technology for business. Not only is it a superior product to similar tools like Outlook, but it can also save you a considerable amount of money.
