Skype Business and Google Docs

Questions that were considered to make the choices were:

What is our goal? What are we trying to accomplish?
Access the most simple app to conduct virtual meetings and keep transcripts recorded under one single document that can be accessible to all members of the group.

What does the alternative need to do? How will it meet our goal(s)?
The alternative, Google Docs, simply records and keeps data altogether in one document so that it could be edited by any member in real time. It updates the members who are visiting the document and allows anyone to add information in real time.

What standards are the most important for this alternative to meet?
Company standards should make it it priority to keep information confidential and safe within the members of the company.

What is less important?
Less important items would be community outreach and customer engagement. ]]> 2020-04-02 02:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hernandez6maribel/foepzcghigiu/wish/487967285 Step 5: Implement the choice hernandez6maribel https://padlet.com/hernandez6maribel/foepzcghigiu/wish/487975883 For members to reach an agreement on whether they like the chosen applications or not, members could implement different methods like:
