Working remotely does not necessarily mean you have to lose productivity or team collaboration.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March, Centro employees, along with thousands of our software users, and so many others, were thrown for a loop and day-to-day business operations were turned upside down.
As a result, we have all found ourselves navigating new ways of working—colleague and customer partnerships became virtual overnight, and video calls, no longer an exception, but a norm.
For us in the advertising industry, this meant that the typical weekly status meetings, usually held in conference rooms across the country, or team catch-ups over coffee, were now no longer possible. However, all is not lost! Access to the right tools and resources to streamline workflow and facilitate cross-team collaboration can help your team stay effective while working remotely.
Basis, Centro’s software to automate and consolidate digital operations across programmatic, direct, search and social, was built with collaboration and efficiency as key tenets. Over the past few months, we have experienced the benefit of utilizing Basis first-hand, within our own 300-person, geographically dispersed services team, and have witnessed the positive impact first-hand. We also surveyed our customers in late March, and 95% of them said Basis “has improved their ability to work remotely” with 49% stating it “has significantly improved their ability to work remotely.”
