It may not be the spiciest item on the agenda, but data security is the backbone of any online business. When we think of cybersecurity, we often think of major data breaches aimed at governments, hospitals, and large corporations. Yet—data loss is actually just as common—and disrupts business just the same. An accidental deletion, a mistake by a new team member, a spilled cup of coffee, a Power-Up integration that didn’t exactly go as planned; data loss can happen in a variety of ways. What typically remains constant, however, are the lost productivity, downtime, and workflow disruptions that result from lost data.

How Trello enterprise supports teams company-wide

Imagine only using your smartphone for only basic texts and calls—no calendar, social media, photos, or games. Seems like a waste of the phone’s capabilities. Or say you had a luxurious and high-powered Ferrari in your garage that you only used to drive a few miles to the grocery store once a week. You’d barely be nudging the gears of such an immensely powerful machine.

How teams can use Trello to collaborate with contractors

Freelance and contract work have been on the rise for years now, but in 2020, the pandemic gave those already-rising numbers a massive boost.
