Talking to an architecture practice in the US last week, they shared that they have been using VIM since the start of the year. One of the key questions was about increased efficiency and effectiveness, which they confirmed, along with the usual account management benefits. A pleasant surprise came from the department head, who mentioned that saving 3-4 hours per week from now-automated tasks led to a noticeable shift in the team's approach. With more time on their hands, they felt empowered to be more creative and offer clients additional advice and attention. The team's improved morale and enhanced productivity weren't initially anticipated as benefits of VIM, showing how positive changes to internal workflows can yield significant rewards for both the team and their clients. Curious to explore how similar enhancements can benefit your team? Let's discuss ways to help you achieve the same positive outcomes!
