Quip
Quip is a software program that allows for businesses to create "quip" documents that act as a spreadsheet or centralized data hub. Quip documents are very flexible and can get a lot of information out to large groups of people at once. They are highly collaborative and great for use with large teams of employees. Quips can be outfitted with text, charts, graphs, spreadsheets, and much more. The purpose of a Quip document is to give one centralized place where members of a company can come together to share and work on data and its analysis. Quips cut meeting times by as much as 38% according to their website.
- Quips allow for a high level of collaboration.

- Quips increase productivity by about 46%. When your productivity goes up, so does your profitability, and in the end Quips are more often than not an investment that is worth it.
- There are many things that you could get done in a meeting in person that you cannot over a Quip. For example, while Quips are collaborative, there is less of a social aspect to Quips and meeting someone over a Quip would not be a good beginning to a business relationship.
- Quips can tend to get cluttered with information if you have too many people working on or viewing them all at one time.
- There are already certain software programs that provide some of the features that Quips provides, although it is still nice to have them all in one place.

Meetings take much less time when using Quips, and in fact often do not need to take place at all. Quips are so easy to use and collaborative that oftentimes you can use a Quip document in place of a meeting.

While Quips are not completely unique in that many of their features can be found on other software programs, it is very helpful to have one place that has all of the features and can be used by multiple people at once.
