Desk-net connects all departments and simplifies communication **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gabriele S. | editor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2022 **What do you like best about Kordiam?** I am a part-time (freelance) editor and, thanks to Desk-net, I can get involved in the daily editorial planning (for various newspapers I supply). I can make announcements and schedule my research. I can commission photographers. I can plan the playout of my articles online and in print. **What do you dislike about Kordiam?** Due to the many entries from different departments, I sometimes lose the overview (even over a short period of time). But I can find my entries again using the search function. **What problems is Kordiam solving and how is that benefiting you?** Desk-net is the central communication tool in our team, whether people are working in the office or from home, whether they are on duty or off. I can tell the editor or other departments what I am working on and avoid overlapping topics. ### 2. Helps with organization **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Kordiam?** We use the tool in our editorial office to plan and coordinate our daily work. It makes it easier to see, what and when other Authors are writing a text and Desknet helps us to plan our day. **What do you dislike about Kordiam?** If you are editing a subject from somebody else, you usually need to stop the notifications. Otherwise, the other person who is working on a subject will get a lot of E-Mails.

I can structre the Newspaper-Pages and I know, what kind of articles I will get from the authors and how long they will be. That makes it easy to plan. ### 3.
