The Challenge

Before moving to full time remote learning & working, The Narayana Group had used a variety of different software & apps like WhatsApp, Zoom, GSuite for email & online storage, 3rd party ticket resolution applications and some other project management tools to handle regular operations.

While these tools worked to augment physical operations, they were insufficient in facilitating full remote operations. Having so many fragmented solutions proved to take significant man-hours to maintain, keep updated and made on-boarding more difficult. Security was also an issue that management wanted to be sure about.

The Lark Advantage

For The Narayana Group, Lark’s powerful collaboration and communication platform met management business goals by combining key business tools into one easy-yet-powerful platform.

In particular, Lark Messenger has been a real winner for the company who have created hundreds of groups to handle the task of organizing tens of thousands of people.

The company uses Audio Calls and Video meetings extensively and cloud-based Lark docs extensively to plan, track, review and meet various goals and objectives.

The company has also started using the Service Desk application in Lark. It is an applet that lets our users create tickets pertaining to various departments to have their issues quickly resolved.
