Your government agency will run smoother with Communifire’s built-in task management tool. List your own tasks and check them off when they’re done–or assign tasks to others.

With Communifire, the team to-do list is more manageable and transparent.
Create and share meetings from your personal calendar, assemble an inter-departmental event complete and reserve a room for the occasion, or create a calendar specific to a team so everyone stays in sync.
