Laura M.: Hi, my name is Laura. I am an office manager for a consulting firm employing approximately 11 people. I would rate a Whiteboard a four out of five. We were communicating just via email. We're a small firm, so we would email back and forth, but emails get lost, people update, and then they forget to update people what status they are on projects, so we implemented Whiteboard. So, sometimes, if you're working late at night, you can just put a quick note on the status of a project, and everyone is updated at the same time, without interrupting somebody's evening, or assuming that maybe they didn't see the update, or did see the update. People are busy, so Whiteboard has really helped people stay up to date at the same time. Okay, we chose Whiteboard because we wanted something that worked within the Microsoft 365 program that would speak to OneDrive, which we use, and some of the other features that we use within Microsoft Office and Whiteboard fit that criteria. We wanted something that almost looked like Post-it notes and could act as a quick update without having to put in a lot of extra detail. Implementing Whiteboard was very simple. I would say we were up and running with it within five minutes. It provides some great user-friendly templates, and so it was easy to start collaborating right away. I think for anyone starting out with Whiteboard, I might just start with asking them what features and benefits are important to them, so that you can select the best template to get your company up and running, and everyone can be on the same page at the same time.
