Huddle for Document management

What is it that all companies have? Documents, lots and lots of documents. How do you organize and keep track of these?

Files used to be shared by email or printing hard copies, but all this is now changing. The ever-growing popularity of document collaboration tools in companies these days spells good news for cloud collaboration apps like Huddle.

Huddle offers a secure document management application as well as other features. Document collaboration is useful when it comes to sharing documents between groups of people for instance departments within a company or external clients. It makes it easier to manage, edit and keep track of files in terms of location and updates.

Huddle offers online editing features which allow users to edit a file without leaving the browser. It also stops others from editing at the same time, ensuring that when a file is uploaded edited work is not over written or deleted by mistake. Such mistakes waste time and potentially money and so the fact that Huddle has a feature to help stop this is crucial. It further helps this aspect by offering a versioning system making it is easy to go back and open an earlier version should changes to a document be made and saved accidently.

Documents can often get lost/deleted when a company’s server crashes or someone’s computer crashes. Having data kept in the cloud means that you the latest files would still be available on the hosting server. You would be able to access it from anywhere and at anytime especially when huddle back up all data on their hosting servers and even offer a backup tool allowing users to have the security of your own hosting.
Huddle also offers an audit trail ensuring full accountability and allows you to make sure that the sales team has read the latest playbook!

As a full content management application Huddle offers a powerful feature set, and simple UI, which would be suitable for businesses of all sizes.

It does have a tasks feature as well, which complements the content management aspect, but it still needs to be built out further before it can be used in a dedicated project management situation.

On the whole it is a great application to help smooth day to day operations, saving time and money over the course of its use.
