[Coworking] Re: Any Feedback from People Who Use Nexudus Coworking Software?

[Teresa Jackson]

We use Nexudus  software and find it 
excellent!  It can definitely do just about all of what you're detailed 
here.  The only one I'm not sure about is the door entry integration.  I 
know it can interact with a system called Doorguard but as you already have 
something in place, you'd need to speak to Adrian at Nexudus about that.

Tom Lewis gave a very helpful and detailed account of the software and yes 
there are a few limitations to work around like not be able to use 
pro-rating when changing or ending a price plan but I am sure that this 
will be available at some point as the software is constantly improving. 
 It hasn't proved too big an issue for us.  

To be honest, I think choosing Nexudus is one of the best decisions for the 
business we could have made.  We use it for connecting members via the 
directory, calendar events and community board, invoices and direct debits 
(it connects to GoCardless), managing and booking resources, sending 
messages, and managing printing use and billing (via another fantastic 
piece of software called Ezeep )

Also Adrian is one of the nicest and easiest people to deal with.  There 
hasn't yet been a time where when I have a question about how to do 
something he hasn't been able to answer and even if I haven't worked it out 
myself yet there is almost always a way that Nexudus can do it!  Having 
great support makes all the difference.

I agree with Tom that it takes a little learning (doesn't everything) but 
can't imagine not having Nexudus now to run my business!

Hope that helps.  More than happy to spend a little time screen sharing 
with you if that would help.

[Coworking] Music or not?

[Teresa Jackson]

I'm sure this question has been asked before but interested to know 
everyone's views.  Do you (or not) have music playing in your coworking 
space? if so what type of stuff do you play?  

There's a definite difference of opinion among our members and we can't 
please all the people all the time but we would like to please most of the 
people most of the time :-)

Thanks!

Teresa

 One thing that I notice in Coworking spaces with no music is FAR less 
 interaction between people because they're concerned about breaking the 
 silence. It's one of the very first things I notice when I visit a new 
 space: the silence is often deafening. 

 Having something - almost anything - softly playing is generally better 
 than nothing at all. People tend to get MOST annoyed by music when it's the 
 same stuff over and over and over, so plan to switch it up.
