Cogi May Just Become One of Your Favorite Project Management Tools

While there are a variety of project management tools out there, sometimes it can be enough that everyone’s working off of the same information.  It’s almost a maxim that the larger or longer a project is the more people proportionally will be involved with it.  Inevitably, a number of those people come in to the project once it’s already started.  How do you ensure that everyone’s up to speed? Add to that more and more companies have virtual and remote workers and the challenges only become more significant.

With Cogi there is an easy way to keep everyone on the same page, increase productivity and ultimately save your company time and money.  Imagine if you could reduce the amount of time spent trying to recreate the critical action ideas and data from important calls and meetings. With Cogi’s innovative audio recording software you can more effectively keep your team focused on the project at hand.

• Keep everyone on the same page
• Searchable, sharable, actionable content
• Improve team productivity
• Capture and share important ideas

Capture Conference calls and Meetings

Now any brainstorming session, weekly team meeting or project roundtable can be recorded whether the team is spread out across the country or all in the same office.  With Cogi’s audio recording software you can capture all of your important conference calls and meetings.  Going way beyond simple call recording, Cogi gives you the ability to effortlessly capture, annotate, take notes, produce transcripts, share and store these valuable conversations.

Using Cogi’s downloadable calling software or access number, simply dial into your conference call and begin recording.  To record a meeting in your office, just dial the Cogi access number from your speakerphone and your office phone becomes a digital voice recorder.  With Cogi there is no need for additional equipment or hardware.  During the call or meeting you can highlight or flag parts of the meeting, add notes and even play back sections that were previously highlighted.  After the call you can request a transcript of the entire call or select just portions of the call for transcription.  All recordings are archived and can easily be reviewed and shared with other team members whether they were on the call or not.

Easily Share, Search and Review conversations and meetings

With many companies supporting virtual and remote workers the likelihood of people using different operating systems increases, with Cogi‘s online interface team members can easily access calls intended for them.  All recordings made by you with Cogi are automatically archived in your online account.  From your account you can share those calls with other team members, whether they were on the call or not, by selecting the share feature.  There you can enter in the email address of those on the team and even add a note about the call to include additional context or instructions.  If they already have a Cogi account the call will automatically appear there, if not Cogi will create a password protected guest account for them and email them their log in credentials.  If they don’t have online access you can download the audio as an MP3, save it to a CD and mail a copy.

Because “getting it right the first time” can save you and your team time and resources, Cogi makes it easy to not only capture important details from any conversation, but quickly find them later.  With Cogi’s search capabilities you can search your call portfolio for conversations by subject title, person called, time and date and even for any key words that appear in the highlight notes and transcripts.  With Cogi you can effectively turn any conversation you’ve recorded into an online archive for your team. 

Quickly transmit important ideas with Cogi Memo

In addition to being able to record and share your phone calls and meetings with Cogi, you can also quickly capture ideas and “post” them to your team or assistant.  Better than a group voicemail or email blast, Cogi lets you capture your ideas and easily get them to your team by turning any phone into a personal dictation device.   Once the “call” is completed you can share it with others by using the share feature.  Team members will now have that “call” in their portfolio along with a transcript for review.  Easily share action lists, brainstorming ideas, follow up information and instructions with your team.

With all the different project management tools out there you may find that Cogi is one of the easiest to work with.  Cogi helps you and your team get the most out of their time by making every call or meeting an online resource.  Not only can team members hear the original conversation at any time, but with Cogi’s highlighting and search features they can quickly find what they need.
