Stefano Bellasio (ID: 000000024bfd9f86) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/31/2019 We started using Sametab company wide just a few weeks ago. This solves one of the biggest issues with distributed teams, different time-zones and fast-peace environments: keeping everyone aligned and make sure your people are aware of things. We use this mostly for company announcements but we are experimenting with department-specific communications as well. Definitely a better way to communicate important things than Slack or email.
