Cloud technology has revolutionized teamwork. Employees no longer have to rely on desktops, servers, or location-based tools; they can access everything they need from anywhere, at any time. The ability to access tools and information from anywhere is crucial given the hybrid and global nature of work today. The cloud eliminates barriers, allowing organizations to scale faster, bring teams in alignment faster, and bring workflows together in one source of truth. This is why the best project management tools are now cloud-based tools; they enable smart teamwork in one space that combines the power of accessible, transparent, and accountable teamwork.
Lark Docs: creating cloud-native knowledge spaces
Lark Docs transforms and organizes the cloud into a living knowledge base by allowing private and public documents to be created, shared, and modified simultaneously across teams.
- Real-time co-editing: Your employees can edit and collaborate on a document together at the same time! There are no more version updates, just up-to-date and most current content.
- Inline discussions: Comments that are attached to their content, so if there are questions, clarifications, or decisions to be finalized, these become part of the knowledge base instead of getting lost in separate chat threads.
- Version history: Leaders and teams can track how and where thinking evolves, which is important in a high-velocity project because this promotes alignment.
- Embedded resources: Data from Sheets or Tasks can be placed directly into Docs, so documents can become an action-oriented tool instead of a static file.
Lark Wiki: building a shared organizational memory
Lark Wiki amplifies cloud collaboration by giving teams a structured and permanent space for knowledge that requires permanence.
- Hierarchical organization: Knowledge is organized logically into categories and sub-pages, allowing information to be found more easily across departments.
- Instant updates: Policies or playbooks are updated instantly for all colleagues, making documentation current and minimizing the risk of old policies being used.
- Advanced search: Employees can find information quickly without relying on a colleague to guide them, saving time and allowing for greater self-sufficiency.
- Cross-departmental visibility: Shared knowledge helps enhance alignment and transparency across teams that are working toward the same goals.
