Workvivo – A Digital Workspace Designed to Enhance Collaboration for Remote Teams

Workvivo represents the pinnacle of the partner opportunity described in this previous blog about the Zoom channel ecosystem.

Not only were they invested in by Zoom but have also now been wholly acquired by them too, and most critically as they announce here the product is now fully integrated into the Zoom client.

Workvivo provides remote teams with a robust communication platform that facilitates real-time collaboration. With features like instant messaging, video conferencing, and virtual meeting rooms, team members can easily connect and communicate regardless of their physical location.

Those features are now natively integrated into the Zoom app, and this is of course a huge advance for Workvivo but actually it’s a strategically important development and inflection point for the Zoom behemoth too.

Paradigm Shift

Although Zoom dominates the video conferencing sector it is something of a commodity now and so they were exposed to some form of disruptive newcomer that changes the paradigm somehow and thus pushes them out of the market.

They’ve combated that by being the shift – Integrating enterprise social collaboration directly into the video client considerably expands the scope of functionality they are now addressing off the shelf, and in an integrated form.

Rather than trying to knit together various different apps businesses can utilize a single platform that combines social intranet and video collaboration, a paradigm shift for Zoom and it’s customers as it elevates them from a commonly available tool with many alternatives, to a strategic solution to the challenge of combining these different apps and enabling enterprises to better collaborate, easily.

As Workvivo describe in their announcement:

“One major aspect of an employee’s experience is the quality of the tools and systems that they have access to in their job. According to HBR, the effects of “toggle tax” are widespread: the average user toggles between different apps and websites nearly 1,200 times each day. That adds up to four hours a week (or five working weeks a year), which represents 9% of a user’s annual time at work.

Now that Workvivo is available in the Zoom client, the seamless authentication between both platforms means less time switching and re-orientating between tasks, leaving more room for rewarding work that gives people that all-important sense of purpose.”

This demonstrates just how powerfully symbiotic and large scale the opportunity is for Zoom platform partners: There is a compounding relationship where the more they can enhance the core product, the larger the pie they create for Zoom and in turn, the staggering level of revenue growth this opens up for both parties.

Remote work has become increasingly common in today’s digital age.

With the rise of distributed teams, it is crucial to have effective collaboration tools that enable seamless communication and productivity.

Workvivo is a powerful platform designed to enhance collaboration for remote teams, designed to build natural, meaningful bonds between teams, allowing companies to reach and engage their employees everywhere.

Acquired by Zoom in early 2023 it provides an ideal complement to the video conferencing platform, indeed as the feature video demonstrates Zoom themselves use it.

Workvivo provides remote teams with a robust communication platform that facilitates real-time collaboration. With features like instant messaging, video conferencing, and virtual meeting rooms, team members can easily connect and communicate regardless of their physical location.

This seamless communication fosters a sense of unity and ensures that everyone is on the same page.

• Increased Engagement – Remote work can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation and disengagement. Workvivo addresses this challenge by creating a virtual space where team members can interact, share ideas, and collaborate on projects. The platform offers social features such as news feeds, discussion boards, and virtual events, which help foster a sense of community and engagement among remote team members.
• Centralized Knowledge Sharing – One of the key advantages of Workvivo is its ability to centralize knowledge sharing within remote teams. The platform allows team members to create and share documents, files, and resources in a centralized location. This ensures that important information is easily accessible to all team members, regardless of their location or time zone. It eliminates the need for lengthy email chains and enables efficient collaboration on projects.
• Recognition and Rewards – Recognizing and rewarding remote team members for their contributions is essential for maintaining motivation and morale. Workvivo offers a built-in recognition and rewards system that allows team members to acknowledge and appreciate each other’s efforts. This feature helps create a positive work culture and strengthens the bond between team members, even when they are physically distant.
• Boosted Productivity – Workvivo provides remote teams with a range of productivity tools and features that streamline work processes. From task management and project tracking to goal setting and performance metrics, the platform helps remote teams stay organized and focused on their objectives. With Workvivo, remote team members can collaborate efficiently and achieve their goals effectively.

By enhancing communication, increasing engagement, centralizing knowledge sharing, providing recognition and rewards, and boosting productivity, Workvivo enables remote teams to work together seamlessly and achieve their goals effectively.
