Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Basecamp for messaging and file sharing between our Standing Committees. It helps keep information easily accessible in one place that can be referenced at any time. It is also an easy way to message committee members and keep a simple thread of responses. It is also good for collaboration, with use of the Writeboard feature.
Pros
- messaging
- calendar for keeping track of deadlines and events
- document retention and file sharing
Cons
- When messaging, you have to click names of people on the committee so they get an email into their email inboxes (nice feature), but click that many boxes can be time consuming.
- If you need to change someone's login email, you have to delete the user and then re-add them with the new email.
- Listing of "projects" on the side is small and takes a while to "see" sometimes.
Return on Investment
- Streamlined communication
- easier to share document (less time expended)
- good price for what it can do
- simple, and we like it this way!
