Communication plays a very important role at any enterprise, so it needs to be clear, crisp, transparent and quick. With our enterprises increasingly becoming a fast-paced environment, their dependence on e-mails as the only official channel for communication can curtail productivity and be detrimental to business. That is where apps like Flock come in handy.

In traditional set-ups, there was a huge dependence on e-mail services for communication among team members. Anything else – telephonic conversations, instant messages, SMSes, etc, were not considered official, so you invariably ended up writing e-mails to communicate even those issues that had been discussed over telephone or other communication means. 

In today’s times, when getting things done quickly has become more important than following the protocol, software and solutions like Flock help you build a robust communication system for your enterprise. More often, these services not only offer better communication medium, but also bring together a host of other options for better, easier and swifter collaboration in a more transparent way.

A messaging and collaboration app for enterprises, Flock makes your communications seamless, workload lighter and collaboration effortless – all of these in a single app.

The Flock app is convenient, real-time and makes communication seamless and easy for the entire team. With this app, you can bring your team together, discuss ideas, share information and improve team productivity by integrating all your work applications at a single place.

The app is readily available on all the major platforms like Google Android, Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS.

All major apps commonly used in enterprise set-ups, such as Asana, Google Drive, Twitter, Hangout, GitHub, Google Analytics and many more can easily be linked to Flock for enhanced productivity and quicker turnaround time on ideas and solutions.

Coming to the features, the app offers direct and group messaging that allows one-on-one discussion or team communication within the same window. Because the app is widely available on all major mobility and computer platforms, the conversation can be done in office or on the go. And, if there is anything in particular for a particular member of the team, simply use ‘@name’. That’s a popular social media & instant messenger lingo and a nice add-on, as more and more people are accustomed to using it.

The app automatically adds all the members from the company’s directory and the new members don’t have to go through the lengthy process. The app allows instant addition as soon as their name reflects in the company’s directory.

In terms of security, the app administrator can manage organisation-wide security settings for all employees. The admin has the rights to block addition of external contacts, manage file-sharing permissions for users, file type and size, and export a log of files shared. So, everything remains under greater security scanner.

For start-ups and smaller business set-ups, the app adds more value as everyone comes under one umbrella of communication and are able to work on ideas as soon as you write them in the conversation, rather than waiting for the next day to discuss with the team in office.
