Hiring and Onboarding Remote Employees

Without a sophisticated process and workflow, IT departments can’t respond to cybersecurity incidents quickly, resolve requests from high priority customers, or support internal teams in performing their own tasks effectively. The entire organization’s momentum can be ground to a halt as bottlenecks pop up in these circumstances. This is when the topic of integrations tends to crop up: do we build one internally or buy an out of the box solution? If we buy it, which vendors should we consider? What features are essential, which ones are nice to have, and what can we live without? So what do you do about these questions? Let’s get into it as we explain use cases fo…

Running reports is a tiresome, repetitive task. Pulling data, formatting it, and syncing everything in one single Excel file takes time.

Developers work in Jira, team leads work in Jira, and maybe even support specialists work in Jira. But the rest of the organization probably has their own tool they prefer, and that means someone has to jump back in forth between that tool and Jira. Or, if everyone’s in Jira, you’re struggling to build the reports your stakeholders want. Either way, you’re looking for a way to export Jira issues to excel. Creating that spreadsheet manually and copying the information in takes time you could be doing something more effective. So how can you get it done automatically? Here are three methods for doing that. In this article: When do you need to export Jira issu…

Your service desk metrics look great. Average handle time is down. First response time is under ten minutes. Ticket volume is steady. Then the VP of Sales corners you after standup: “Why does it take three days to reset someone’s laptop permissions? My team is still waiting on that CRM integration issue from last week.” You pull up the tickets. Both were closed by your service desk within the Service Level Agreement (SLA). Both were handed off to specialist teams (security, integration support), and that’s where they vanished into the void. Your service desk did its job perfectly. The work still didn’t get done. This is the coordination problem that most IT direct…

Migrating from Asana to ClickUp? Maybe you have two teams working in separate tools and you need to bring specific project information from one to the other? Let’s explore two methods for doing this. First method: using ClickUp’s built-in importer ClickUp has a built-in importing tool that can be used to pull tasks from Asana to your ClickUp lists. With this method, you’ll usually be able to kickstart your import within 10 minutes, and the full importing process can take up to a few hours. The exact time it takes to do this will vary, depending on how much data you’re importing. Here’s how this method works. Step 1: Prepare your ClickUp workspace Before …

So you’ve got a sales team in Salesforce with creatives or marketers managing projects in Asana. How do they collaborate and manage the pre-sales and sales cycles? Or alternatively, what if your support team handles case intake from Salesforce but then needs to assign work based on those cases through Asana? Maybe there’s a project manager jumping between both tools, maybe you’ve got automation figured out with a couple of triggers and actions to share work 1-way, or everyone is just sharing context in Slack and updating their own tasks accordingly. None of these options are ideal, especially not for a growing organization with hundreds or thousands of tasks to keep track…

Your backlog has 50 requests. Half of them are just variations of the same connection between two project management tools, but without a system to recognize patterns, each request is treated as unique. Some actually have complex requirements, and others have been in your backlog for so long that the original requester has already built their own workaround, whether that’s with CSV exports, manual copying and pasting, or a rogue Zapier account no one in IT knows about. This backlog might be IT’s responsibility, but it’s not their fault. It’s caused by a structural problem. According to a market study by IDG and TeamDynamix, 89% of businesses have a data integration ba…

Your newest hire just sent their third Slack message in an hour. First, they couldn’t find the email template for password resets. Then they needed the escalation criteria for database issues. Now they’re asking which Jira project handles network tickets versus hardware requests. You answer each question in under a minute, but you’re also watching your own queue grow while they wait.

HubSpot is one of the leading CRM tools on the market, but it’s also a powerful hub for marketing initiatives, sales, and customer support. That means many customer-facing teams can spend their entire day working exclusively in HubSpot, which can silo them away from the rest of the organization. When other teams use a dedicated project management solution — like Smartsheet — everyone loses out on crucial context and opportunities for collaboration. That’s why many organizations look for ways to integrate HubSpot with Smartsheet in a way that scales with them as their operations grow. Here are three popular options for doing this, along with why they may — or may not —…
