However, there has been a concern in the minds of people all around the world about whether the digital tools that people use in their day-to-day lives makes them more productive or less productive. If you read customer feedback about these tools, you will have a conviction of how these tools affect our work lives.

However, let us see how the roles that these digitals tools play in the workplace.

1.          Increase in Revenue:

Digital tools, apart from making the work process easier and faster, also helps to eliminate possible human errors. If an officer has to do an audit of the firm’s finances at the end of the year, the officer will have to calculate each expense for the whole year several times to be sure that there were no errors, however, with using digital tools like QuickBooks or Sage, this repetition can be avoided which will save more time and that effort can be channeled to doing more work which will bring more revenue for the firm.

2.          Easier Communication:

Digital tools have helped to stand in the gap for what used to be a problem in terms of communication. In the past, people had to wait for their letters to be delivered and replied to. Later on, telephones were available but landlines were not portable so people were not reachable unless they were on their seats. However, with digital tools like WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype, etc, workers can send messages and even have meetings at any time regardless of their location.

3.          Data Management and Security:

With the help of digital tools, companies can secure sensitive information. This could be confidential information about clients or the company’s secret success strategy. Cybersecurity is becoming a thing and companies can now analyze their data, store it on their secure cloud and make sure that it is protected from hackers and other forms of threats.

4.          Planning:

Companies can use digital tools as a reminder for scheduled tasks or meetings. There is usually a lot of work to be done in companies and staff can easily forget about these commitments which might cost the company money and even clients. However, with digital tools, you can schedule tasks to be done automatically, set reminders for yourself and members of your team, set a priority list, and so on.

Digital tools have helped a lot of companies generate more revenue and make the work process very easy. These tools have played a positive role on a general note but the wrong usage of these tools can be detrimental to the company’s profile. Digital tools like social media can distract employees from focusing on the company’s business and this distraction will do no good.
