Simple to set up and administer, Brosix keeps our team connected and collaborating efficiently. Much of our management efforts were going into getting our teams to work efficiently both internally and cross functionally.

Brosix now helps in management processes in a few key ways:
Brosix provides teams with private networks that they can administer as they see fit. Administrators can group employees into multiple teams, grant/remove access to certain features, and easily add new team members. Brosix networks have a full range of communication and collaboration features streamlined into one overall package available on a range of operating systems and devices, making it easy for all employees to stay connected regardless of their location. Brosix IM is simple to set up and use, with little time needed to get new team members up to speed.
