WORKPLACE 01732 759725 31 magazine I couldn’t do my job without... Microsoft 365 Microsoft 365 makes my workflow smoother. The applications work together so well that it makes collaboration with my colleagues and keeping track of my projects so much easier, assisted by ever more artificial intelligence (AI). Sharing information between Microsoft 365 apps is a breeze – and they also work with many other apps that I use. monday.com Monday is the main thing that keeps me organised and on top of my work. I use the platform for all kinds of things, like managing projects, tracking tasks, organising portfolios and setting goals. It also connects with Toshiba Tec social media platforms, so I can monitor our marketing campaigns in realtime and get reports. I love data and discovering ways to optimise my workflow, so I’m always looking for new ways to use monday. As the saying goes, ‘work smarter, not harder’. ChatGPT ChatGPT is a fascinating tool and using it in my work really does give me a different perspective on the pros and cons of AI, especially when it comes to how it might affect jobs. I find it a great aid for research, checking facts and coming up with ideas. But I also know that the quality of the insights I get from this tool depends on the quality of the data sources it uses. That said, it’s really efficient for market research purposes: it automates the data collection process and gives me concise information, freeing up time for me to spend on other things. Teams Teams helps me collaborate and share information with people across different departments and locations. It has made our communication much better, because we no longer have to deal with long email chains. We just use Teams chats instead. We have also switched to voice and video calls within Teams, which saves money by reducing our reliance on traditional phone systems. This change alone has made us more productive and engage more with each other. During lockdown, we used other tools to connect with the channel and host webinars. Teams has improved its features so much since then that we now use it for webinar delivery as well. www.toshibatec.co.uk Every day, workers in organisations of all sizes rely on Toshiba Tec devices, workplace solutions and managed IT services to get their job done in an efficient and reliable manner, but what do the company’s own employees use to power through their workload? Here, Product Manager Deyon Antoine picks the tools and technologies he couldn’t do his job without Multiple Displays My workspace looks like a busy Control Centre, with two additional 19-inch screens next to my laptop. This setup lets me use multiple apps and view multiple documents at the same time, making me more productive, especially when working on different spreadsheets. Thanks to the multi-window feature in Windows 11, which also has multiscreen support, I can show as many as four windows on each of my three screens simultaneously, with app windows ‘snapping’ neatly into place within the multi-window layout.
