Here are five things in technology that happened this past week and how they affect your business. Did you miss them?
1 — Here are the top apps for businesses for 2020.
Okta —a cloud identity company —recently released their yearly review of the top apps that businesses used in 2020. To determine the list, Okta’s customer data from the last year was analyzed and organized into what was most broadly used and the apps that had most quickly grown among businesses. When it came to apps that are most broadly used, the top four spots were taken up by Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, Amazon Web Services, and G Suite. The fastest growing apps include cloud data platform Snowflake, Opsgenie, Google Cloud, and Splunk. (Source: Entrepreneur)
Why this is important for your business:
If you’re like so many other business owners that don’t have the time to do the research but want to know what are the hot or popular business techs around, Okta’s report is a must-read. Even just one or two of these apps may have a significant impact on your company’s productivity…and profits.
2 — Vimeo’s new app helps small businesses create professional social videos.
Video platform Vimeo revealed this past week its newest creation, called Vimeo Create. Vimeo Create contains several creative video tools that are geared toward helping marketers and small businesses more easily take advantage of the benefits of using video on social media or marketing platforms. Businesses are able to either utilize templates that are designed by professionals or choose to create a brand new video. (Source: Tech Crunch)
Why this is important for your business:
While YouTube may have a greater reach, Vimeo arguably offers more features, more storage and potentially more bang for the buck if you’re just looking for a platform to host videos that will be used for business purposes and your intention is not to become a YouTube celebrity. The idea of Vimeo Create is that it will provide more and better resources for businesses who may not have the funding or time to put into video production.
