HYLYT EMPOWERS TEAMS to make better business decisions and work optimally, by effectively pulling information from whatever source, into a single robust repository that is secure, searchable and shareable. Today’s workers wage a losing battle against information overload. Current collaboration tools lack the means to pull together the many incompatible formats of emails, chats, meeting invites, notes, files, and so on; to connect related data hiding in these disconnected silos; and to share securely. Not only is most of the information they receive irrelevant, but managing the part that is useful is inefficient. Research states that 25% of work time is spent searching, saving and managing the information they own. Accessing information held by co-workers is even harder. Did you know over 70% of departing employees admit to taking the Company’s data? HyLyt is designed to fix this. Linked to all these existing systems, it allows you to pull the information items that matter to you, from these or any other sources and formats, into a single robust repository, allowing you to connect these diverse items into a meaningful, instantly searchable matrix. It enables you to communicate prioritized information across your team while retaining full and secure control over it. By interconnecting relevant information from all those silos, HyLyt enables better business decision-making while boosting productivity.
