ClickUp announces EU data centre in Ireland

ClickUp, the productivity platform that brings work together in one place, announced today that it is expanding its investment in Europe with localised data hosting in its European data centre. ClickUp customers who are subscribed to the company’s Enterprise plan will now have the option to host their data in ClickUp’s European region at no additional cost.
Operated by Amazon Web Services, ClickUp’s European data centre is based in Ireland. With complete ownership of their data, customers will have peace of mind that all their data will meet European data hosting requirements. In addition, they will experience increased performance and the ability to scale operations without compromising speed or efficiency. ClickUp will begin migrating eligible workspaces on July 31, 2023.

The Top 6 Easy-To-Use Software Built For The Complexities Of Global Business Growing

The business world has changed beyond belief in the past few years and it’s almost too difficult to comprehend how fast things are evolving. The way that global business now affects our everyday lives cannot be underestimated and companies are vying to get your attention and have some form of influence over our lives.

It can take a little time to get used to new software and learn it for yourself, especially when you are introducing it to your business and asking larger numbers of people to use it. It’s natural for humans to become accustomed to their own routines and habits, but can also be super quick at picking up new things and applying them to work.

All the processes and systems that we now use have been tested and streamlined to the point where they are almost perfect, and make such a huge difference in the way we conduct our business and carry out chores or errands in our personal lives. Without the constant development and progression of software such as simplelegal, companies and sectors are going to fall behind.

 

So What Are The Top 6 Easy-To-Use Software Built For The Complexities Of Global Business Growing?

Maybe you are looking at new opportunities in software to incorporate into your own routine for the first time or perhaps you are a little more experienced and are wishing to add some more to your arsenal, either way, there are some awesome solutions out there to help you streamline and organize your workload.

Google Drive

If you’re not already using Google Drive, you should be. You may well be using Gmail to send your emails and communicate with suppliers and clients, so it’s not a difficult transition as it’s all housed under one roof. Google Drive allows you to create, edit and store all your documents in a safe place, and through the fact it saves automatically live as you do things, there’s no need to worry about not saving and losing all your hard work. You can create documents, spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations, and more.

Email

Email has probably been one of the biggest factors in allowing global businesses to grow, especially at the beginning of the internet boom. The way we can now streamline and segment all of our communication channels through email means both our professional and personal lives are way more organized. We can now categorize and flag important messages when we need to, allowing us to prioritize workloads and conversations we are having.

Slack

It feels like the global business world has been crying out for something like Slack in terms of how simple they have made it to chat and converse with team members, colleagues and clients online. Similar to Whatsapp, Slack allows you to send direct messages to people, along with creating private chats and communication channels so you can effectively organize all conversations.

 

 

Zoom

The way that we all do meetings has changed drastically in the past year or two due to the pandemic and it feels like the founders of Zoom almost saw this coming. Given how many people are now working from home or remotely, Zoom has been the go-to option for millions of workers around the globe to host and run important meetings. You can set timings for meetings, send invites, choose who is the host, and more with this crucial piece of software which has allowed global businesses to keep growing through the pandemic.

ClickUp

If you are looking for a way to plan your days, weeks, and months in a way that the whole team can understand and interpret what’s going on, ClickUp is the way forward. It seamlessly allows you to plan out your content and presents it in a way that means people from internal and external teams can both access it and action anything if they need to. Great for social media and marketing planning if you are currently looking for an option that goes beyond what you have already.

Loom

Sometimes it can be super hard to convey what you mean to someone over email or text, so creating a video where you record your own screen and show someone what you’re working on or what they need to do, is incredibly useful. This is exactly what Loom does and with a free account, you can log on and start creating your own instructional videos in no time.

The software has changed the way the world works and will continue supporting businesses that are aiming to keep growing globally.
