Be sure to ask upfront about your industry! <\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Think about the way your team functions and collaborates in person<\/strong>. If, for example, the best ideas come when your whole team is hanging around the water cooler, you\u2019ll need to find software that can imitate this somehow.<\/li>\n<li><b>Check out the technical support offered for each app<\/b>. The more comfortable you and your team feel with an app, the more universal the adoption. 24\/7 tech support is a must when it comes to keeping your business and team communications up and running&#8230; but this isn&#8217;t always included. (<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ringcentral.com\">RingCentral<\/a>, however, offers an online resource center for developers, live chat 24\/7, and even phone support should you need it.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Think about your existing software.\u00a0<\/strong>New tech should make your life easier, not more tedious. Before you jump in with both feet on a new app, ask about its integrations with the apps you already use. (For example, does the new communications app sync with your existing <a href=\"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/sales-crm-small-business\/\">CRM<\/a>?) The right integrations could save you a lot of time toggling between apps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe\" id=\"new-rc-subscribe\"  style=\"background-image:url('\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ringcentral\/assets\/images\/temp\/subscribe.png')\">\n\t\t<button class=\"close js-popup-close\"><svg class=\"icon_close_mobile\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon_close_mobile\"><\/use><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper_text\">\n<h3 class=\"rc-subscribe__title h2\">Stay informed with RingCentral<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__subtitle\">Subscribe to our emails for the latest blogs, events, and exclusive content on AI-powered communication solutions.

If you\u2019re managing a small team and your only need is to enable remote brainstorming, Miro will be a real boon. But if a wider task and employee-management platform is what you\u2019re looking for, Miro\u2019s not the one for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.
