Free Internal Communications Software
1. Bitrix24
Bitrix24 is probably the best know free internal communications
software. Essentially is a unified communications cloud platform that
comes with free enterprise social networks, business chat, mobile
messaging, videoconferecing, web phone calls and e-mail. What else could
you want?The thing that appeals most to me as an IC professional is company news and mandatory announcements module and knowledge management module, though in fact Bitrix24 comes with over 35 different tools from
document management, to shared calendars to program management and CRM.
Bitrix24 is free for 12 users, addition all $25/mo gets you extra 12
users and if you pay $99/mo you get unlimited users, which is a darn
good deal.
2. CoopApp.com
CoopApp came out before Bitrix24 (hence the ugly design) but inspite of
not offering as many tools, it’s good at what it has been created for,
namely keeping all your employees on the same page.
3. Google+ Hangouts
Great free videochat platform perfect for communicating with your employees who work in different offices or from home.
If you are in charge of brain storming and idea management and love mind
maps, you’ll love MindMeister. Unfortunately shared mind maps are
available in the paid plans only.
UserVoice has been created with the idea of giving your customers a way
to provide feedback and vote on the best ideas. However (don’t tell
anyone), you can use UserVoice for free inside your own company to get
feedback and ideas from your employees.
6. WeekDone.com
Effective internal communications flow both ways. If you consider work
reports an important IC tool (and you should), do take a good look at
WorkDone. Along with Bitrix24, it’s one of the few tools that’s
available on your mobile as well as PC.
7. OpenLMS.org
OpenLMS is a free open source learning management system. It does
require that you are a techsavvy person, but what you get in return is
ability to create employee training courses and interactive employee
manuals.
