Large enterprises use an average of more than 200 software applications across their entire organization at any given time. This includes software that helps them manage critical business functions like:
- Timekeeping
- Client billing
- Project management
- Instant messaging
- Video conferencing
- Business analytics
- File sharing
- Compliance
Having this many applications can increase the amount of training required for new employees and waste time with constant logins – all of which takes time away from engaging in billable tasks.
That’s why we built coAmplifi, which is a workforce management software with built-in capabilities to manage all of these functions and more. It also can be easily integrated with outside applications so you can continue to use the tools employees are familiar with in a single interface.
This blog covers the types of integrations that can be set up with coAmplifi and how you can help your enterprise embrace new software.
Integration Capabilities With coAmplifi
coAmplifi is designed to be your one-stop shop for all workforce-related needs. In addition to tools that come standard with the software, such as timecard management, project management tools, and team collaboration functions, the solution can also integrate with systems your enterprise already has in place.
Here are a few types of systems that can work in tandem with coAmplifi.
Video Conferencing
coAmplifi integrates with several of the top video call applications, including Zoom. This means that you’ll have access to premier video conferencing directly through coAmplifi, which also includes features for creating shared meeting notes and file sharing.
These applications can be integrated directly with your employees’ calendars, regular work hours, and time zones for easy meeting scheduling. These integrations also make it easy for team members to quickly switch between project management dashboards and their timecards to give status updates on calls and keep track of meeting lengths.
Financial Management
Our workforce management software integrates with QuickBooks to simplify the billing process, especially for professional services firms that charge by the hour. This integration can help you keep track of billable time and generate pre-bills, which can then be approved and paid through QuickBooks.
Using QuickBooks inside coAmplifi can also enable you to make more informed financial decisions using business intelligence tools. You can customize your measurements and make year-over-year comparisons, enabling you to use all the data you have available to increase operational efficiency.
Best Practices for Implementing coAmplifi Within Your Enterprise
Implementing any new software within a large enterprise can seem daunting. Despite these convenient integrations, team members may feel resistant to change and continue using separate applications.
Here are some actions you can take to build employee engagement around coAmplifi and encourage consistent use.
Communicate coAmplifi’s Benefits
coAmplifi is designed to make employees’ lives easier, not harder. Be sure to share all of the ways this system can improve individuals’ daily workflows, such as by:
- Improving internal communication and team alignment
- Clarifying expectations through digitally assigned tasks and due dates
- Making it easier to find documents and client notes
- Requiring fewer logins, which means there are fewer passwords to remember and update
- Creating a more cohesive remote and hybrid workplace
- Distributing work equally among team members by reviewing individual workloads
Let Employees Know What to Expect
Change is less likely to be embraced when employees feel they’re being kept in the dark. For this reason, you should communicate project expectations that include information like:
- When the new software will be implemented
- Which departments and processes may be affected
- Whether any current applications will be discontinued or integrated with coAmplifi
- How data and files will be transferred to coAmplifi
Provide Training Resources
Help your teams feel set up for success by offering demo classes, cheat sheets, or training videos that are short and clear. Designating an IT contact or subject matter expert for technical support can also ease the burden of troubleshooting new systems.
Be Open to Feedback
There’s no out-of-the-box solution that can cover the unique needs of every business. Luckily, coAmplifi can be customized in a number of ways to best adapt to your current processes.
If your employees are having trouble integrating certain features into their work, encourage them to share their thoughts on how the challenge could be solved. Our team is always willing to work with you to make sure the software is set up in the way that best fits your enterprise.
