Often a culture of continuous innovation means that our days are filled with meetings back to back. With offices in San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis and Kansas City, coordinate meetings and catch-up through the time zones can make a number of challenges. The San Francisco team usually gets at 9am work but stay up late; in St. Louis, we are at work by 07.00 bis 18.00 o’clock. Until recently, most people are working late at the office and quality time at home often lost. They landed in their offices for meetings, which cost time and money. And if they do not, they met on the phone, which was less attractive and productive in order.

Coupling the new way to work with Google Apps, they have already used for work inside and outside the office, they amazed at how technology is changing our working day. Now they work together more effectively, it can provide a much better job of creating products that monitor our customers to help the effects of weather on their business.
