Communication technologies are essential to the smooth operation of any
organisation, especially in today's corporate contexts when companies are always
implementing newer and better solutions. They voluntarily adopt technology that increases their productivity. In today's age of technologically advanced business models, virtual teams, cloud computing, and enterprise social networks are just a few of the numerous examples. The usage of more advanced tools and apps for information management and communication is becoming more prevalent in the business world. In business, it also saves people money, time, and effort because communication is dependable and immediate. To manage communication, for instance, the company uses external communication systems, procurement, production, marketing, and accounts departments, in addition to other executive level departments, and business partners and vendors. The company employs the internal communication system, procurement, production, marketing, accounting, and other executive level sectors to control communication with its business partners and vendors. 1)Email Electronic mail, sometimes referred to as "email," is a method of communication that sends messages via computer networks using electronic devices. "Email" encompasses both the method of transmission and individual messages that are sent. Email is so popular because it's the least expensive means of communication for information workers. Unlike a call or fax, sending the email itself is free of charge while using the system. It is time-efficient, easy to use, and "filterable." As a result, it gives the recipient the freedom to read the messages in any order they choose. A company that uses email can get a number of advantages, such as: Documentation and record-keeping: emails offer a written record of exchanges, enabling the tracking of meetings, transactions, and other business data which is much easier to find . • Global Reach: Email eliminates the need for physical mail by enabling global communication from any location with an internet connection . • Immediate communication: Email enables users to send and receive communications instantly, resulting in increased production and efficiency inside the company. 2)Video conferencing Using technology to connect and collaborate with two or more individuals in a geographically separate setting is known as a video conferencing session. By utilising videoconferencing, businesses can reduce the cost of business travel and meeting expenses, expedite project completion timelines, and enhance teamwork among remote employees. Additionally, it may lessen the requirement for meeting spaces with strong audio/video connections. • Lowers travel expenses: most companies and organisations have to travel for client meetings, board meetings, and partner meetings. Businesses can cut down on travel expenses by using videoconferencing to have in-person meetings without having to leave the office.

It doesn't take a lot of money or time to use social media. Small businesses may leverage social media to connect with consumers and markets, build direct, personal relationships, and raise their company's profile and awareness in the same way that any major corporation can. With no effort and in a remarkably short length of time, a small firm can potentially reach a worldwide audience. A small business now has an entirely new avenue to grow its customer base and engage in marketing. By offering engaging brand imagery and conversation starters, a smart social media campaign can facilitate connection-building.Social media provides businesses with the ability to interact with their customers and promote their brand. Direct communication allows businesses to address issues, answer inquiries, and get feedback from their clientele. Social media allows the company to be abreast of the latest social media news, algorithm changes, and best practices. It also allows it to stay ahead of the competition by experimenting with new features and formats. Platforms that are public and free of cost allow businesses to react rapidly to issues. Businesses utilise social media for product promotion, content marketing, and targeted marketing in order to reach a larger audience. . Social media platforms are used to promote brand identity, share company culture, and promote brand values through content. 4)Intranet An intranet is a private network used by staff members to safely share corporate information and computer resources. Teleconferences and teamwork are more uses for an intranet. Businesses may link employees to the people and resources they need to stay connected and productive, even when working remotely, by using intranets.When connected to a workplace intranet, teams can work together in real time on projects, creating a sense of community while maintaining deadline compliance. Without an intranet, employees will be unable to locate the data or solutions they require to proceed. These barriers are removed by intranets, which hasten deadlines and increase productivity for those involved. Information sharing and archiving are two of the intranet's greatest benefits since it makes sure that the most recent versions of documents are accessible for viewing. There are no paper documents to misplace or lose because the data is keyword searchable, making intranet document management much easier. If a document becomes obsolete or is no longer needed, it might be archived. Most intranets are designed to serve as a company's main internet portal. It's a forum for conversations, the dissemination of corporate news, and the planning of events. Considering this, an intranet could serve as a bridge between teams with different locations. Clear and dynamic organisation charts on your company intranet give potential employees insight into how your organisation is set up. 5)Cloud computing The term "cloud computing" describes the internet-based delivery of computer services, such as networking, storage, servers, databases, and apps. Instead of hosting these resources locally, businesses can employ cloud service providers to access and use them remotely. Companies are no longer need to spend money on pricey software and hardware. They can pay as they go or on a monthly basis for the services they require, which lowers upfront costs and gives them flexibility. It enables companies to scale their resources up or down in response to their needs. This adaptability keeps companies from over- or under-using their resources while enabling them to react swiftly to shifting market needs. With cloud-based services and apps, team members may collaborate easily no matter where they are in the world. Tools for communication, project management, and real-time document sharing increase productivity and effectiveness. Cloud service providers spend a lot of money on security to protect their infrastructure and data. They frequently outpace most firms in the usage of advanced encryption, authentication, and access control systems. Through efficient use of resources, companies can lower their carbon impact. It does away with the requirement for separate servers and data centres, which are energy-intensive and contribute to climate change.
