Job Title and Department in Threema Work

Threema Work introduces a useful new feature: Administrators can now specify a job title and department for each employee. This way, it’s immediately apparent whether a contact is John Smith from accounting or the other John Smith from the operations team.

Email, collaboration tool, chat app, telephone: digital infrastructures in companies are becoming increasingly complex.
