Learn how InfinCE helped Fingent boost employee engagement and build a positive company culture, helping them bag the Great Place to Work Certification three times in a row.
Fingent is a Great Place to Work and ISO 27001:2013 certified custom software development company headquartered in New York. Fingent’s deep knowledge and expertise in conceptualizing business ideas and delivering the most feasible software solutions have helped companies – small and large – to solve their toughest business challenges and improve their market position. Founded in 2003, Fingent’s operation centers are located in four countries – USA, Australia, UAE, and India. The organization employs more than 500 professionals specialized in diverse technologies and frameworks. Fingent is a trusted global technology partner to more than 150 businesses, including startups, SMBs, and Fortune 500 enterprises.
Strict lockdowns and social distancing guidelines implemented in March 2020 forced Fingent to adopt new standard operating procedures and restrictions to protect the health and wellbeing of their employees. They switched entirely to remote work, and the drastic workplace changes affected their employee experience.
Utilization of traditional communication channels, such as emails and phone conversations resulted in scattered data, loss of critical workplace information and disordered communication structure.
Real-time, face-to-face communication suffered a major setback as employees missed the vibrant workplace environment and conversations over coffee and lunch breaks.
Managing online communication & collaboration needs of a highly distributed workforce using third-party software posed a severe risk to the confidentiality & security of organizational data.
Installing multiple third-party business communication apps, maintaining separate login credentials, and switching between each app frequently, took a toll on business performance & productivity.
Live individual and group chats allow Fingent’s workforce to discuss work on the go by sharing messages, reactions, and files securely. Employees can also initiate conversations with external users in real-time.
Employee directory allows Fingent’s employees to find contacts easily and initiate calls or live chats with them right away.
Video meetings with multiple screen sharing, recording, shareable meeting links for external participants, chat, personal meeting room, and breakout rooms allows Fingent to virtually connect their colleagues, customers, and partners.
Cloud-based business phone system with automated call distribution, call directories, IVR options, and more, helps employees make and receive business calls and stay connected with their teams or customers from anywhere in the world.
The InfinCE dashboards enable Fingent to inform and engage their team with the latest organizational updates, employee productivity statistics, goals, KPIs, and more.
Multi-level dashboards can be created and customized for the entire organization, a specific department or team, or for an individual’s own use. Employees can like, comment, or react to every organizational update shared on the organizational dashboard, which, in turn, promotes transparent communication.
Standard tiles on the InfinCE dashboards are designed to cover all the basic workplace collaboration needs, such as news feeds, bookmarks, time zones, announcements, videos, notes, info, and polls. For instance, an employee onboarding manager can use the video tile to introduce a newly hired employee to their teammates. This promotes a culture of inclusiveness and makes the newcomer familiar to co-workers by breaking the ice.
Dashboard customization: Dashboards can be customized extensively to align employees to the organization’s core values, culture, and best practices with real-time insights. News and updates posted on the InfinCE organizational dashboard, such as score cards for online team building activities, CSR initiatives, excerpts from thought leadership sessions, project updates, awards and accomplishments, photo and video galleries, and messages endorsing organizational culture enable Fingent to keep all their employees on the same page.
A comprehensive suite of productivity tools offered by InfinCE helps Fingent’s workforce to manage their workload for optimum results.
Productivity tools like Calendar, Task Manager, Drive, Custom Business Email, Documents, Spreadsheets, and Presentations aid various departments of Fingent – specifically the client-facing teams – to stay productive and run projects as per schedule. Employees can collaborate with their teammates and fine-tune documents through comments and simultaneous edits. With InfinCE productivity applications, Fingent is able to organize individual and team activities, daily tasks, and meetings to get work done quickly and efficiently.
Secure file sharing through the InfinCE Drive allows employees to share work files safely with any person, team, department, or collaborators, even outside their organization using a simple, shareable link. Strict access rights and user permissions including password-protection and expiration dates help reduce data risks to shared files. Regardless of the device or location from where a file is shared, it can be protected with the advanced security features offered by the InfinCE Drive.
InfinCE ‘guest user’ mode allows Fingent’s employees to share restricted access to confidential work files, and collaborate with clients in real time through live chats and meetings. Clients can also view project-specific updates in real time on private dashboards. The provision to add unlimited guest users made collaboration with external parties easy, secure, and effective.
The customizable Android/iOS mobile apps of InfinCE helps Fingent employees experience a consistent brand experience across all the touch points. The web and mobile apps reflect Fingent’s logo, name, colors, theme, and background, helping them stay connected with the brand even while away from the office. Branded business email, dashboards, live chat, video meeting rooms, and drive help them stay on top of daily operations even on the go.
Fingent’s in-house learning experience platform, Skill Lake, was added to the InfinCE marketplace, so their employees can directly access the learning platform and update their knowledge in key areas pertaining to their job roles. Personalized learning, mentoring, gamification and more helps foster a culture of learning across the organization.
The dedicated InfinCE cloud with advanced data access controls makes document sharing more secure for Fingent and helps avoid the risk of moving sensitive data to third-party cloud servers.
Fingent improved their remote team’s productivity by adopting the powerful, secure, and flexible virtual desktops provided by InfinCE.
Secure file sharing features offered by InfinCE – password protection, password expiration, and select edit access – protect Fingent’s data from unauthorized access.
