For ages now, a set of walled-off communication application platforms has remained in high command in most corporate boards. Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, and Slack may have been suitable for their respective niches in the past, but they have outpaced efforts to keep the collaboration business running smoothly. However, in recent times, a small step in this (reduction) direction has been taken by Mio, a Google-backed company that aims to fill this link.
Therefore, the above-mentioned system is a unique system that qualifies most of the large enterprises which at the same time belong to different sectors which have their specific communication challenges. However, this success does not come cheap. This goes beyond the restrictions of other developed media platforms. It lets Google users who work inside Google Workspace easily collaborate with colleagues in Microsoft 365 or Slack.
Consider a situation where the marketing staff who typically communicate using Slack differs from the sales team working more on Google Workspace. Traditionally, communication has been difficult with excellent information trapped inside these separate ecosystems. Mios empowers that approach by offering collaboration even between different platforms.
Indeed, Tom Hadfield, co-founder and CEO of local software startup Millions, hit the nail when he called the current homogeneous collaboration style “silo-like collaboration” at Millions’ Entrepreneurship & Innovation Club seminar last week. Mios integrates compartmentalization, enjoying creating an open and responsive community environment. Be it a Microsoft-featured user or an Apple equally governed user, they can now chat with their peers regardless of their platform of choice. This was a major achievement for iOS-Android messaging.
This is not just about humans as the consequences are not limited to direct encounters. Mios enables user auth accounts and file sharing across various platforms, as well as to other computers. It provides a common language reference, making communication more cohesive and production more effective, as well as improving collaboration in large organizations that are characterized by diversity.
