Web Tool Smack down

For my web tool, I chose Skype because it is a great app that allows for easy and simple communication with other people. Skype has multiple different ways to communicate with people from anywhere around the world at any time. Most of these features are free, but there is one service that they offer that is a monthly subscription. You can create meetings with as many people as you want in just 3 simple steps. All you have to do is click the start meeting button, click share invite, and select the people you want in the video call and you are done. Skype makes it as simple and easy as possible when it comes to communicating with others. Furthermore, you can do the chat feature you can have a group chat or just message individual people where you can go over things that need to be done or just to communicate through in a less formal structure like email. The last feature that they offer is the monthly subscription to obtain a phone number through skype where they can receive and make called to any cell phone or landline anywhere in the world.

All of these features will be extremely useful in my career as a manager because as a manager you must be able to communicate clearly and quickly in order to complete the task at hand. The meeting video chat is useful since it allows you to conference with people who may work in different buildings around the world. A reason for doing something like this would be if you are working on a project together and you need to communicate your research and other findings to one another in order to complete the project. The same goes for the chat feature whether it is a group chat or and individual chat it allows the managers to quickly communicate with the various members of their team and share information that is relevant to the project. Communication is key in management and the quicker and easier one is able to communicate the better the business will be since they will be able to get more done. Lastly, the paid subscription is extremely useful because if I have to travel a lot for my future career if I have to visit other teams in offices around the world them obtaining a phone number through skype to make and receive calls from anyone is great. If you were to purchase an international phone plan from your provider it would be extremely expensive, but skype offers it for a low monthly rate. This would allow me to stay in touch with my home team while I travel to these other teams to ensure everything is being done correctly to complete the project.
