Collaboration Technologies

Today, the power of technology goes well beyond giving people access to information. Work groups and teams are a dominant force in business. Collaborative work environments are a mainstay in organizations of all shapes and sizes. Process and workflow become paramount to success. Technology is the thread that weaves individuals together into productive teams, providing improved communication, coordination, efficiency and productivity.

Imagine working on a project with a cross-departmental team dispersed across multiple geographic locations. Face-to-face meetings incur time and travel expense. Even with teams using telephones, email and file servers to access and share information, any number of challenges can arise, including:

• Information becomes out of synch when aggregated via "cut and paste" and "application hopping" from multiple systems
• Information is unnecessarily duplicated, resulting in extra work, extra storage, extra risk of mistakes, etc.
• Errors and inefficiencies occur when email is used as a primary collaboration and workflow engine, and when document versioning processes are ill-defined
• Teams are unnecessarily reliant on IT expertise causing frustration, delays and added expense
• Periodic reports sourced from dynamic documents and databases contain outdated information often in incompatible or inconsistent formats
• Team members are challenged to find information in exploding in-boxes, disorganized file systems, etc.; team-based decision-making is difficult because information is not readily or uniformly accessible to all
• Teams have difficulty identifying, rolling up, prioritizing, tracking important tasks
• Information scattered across multiple devices is out of synch (e.g. phone, PDA, Outlook,)
• Sensitive data gets into the wrong hands; information is forwarded, copied, printed or edited without permission, shared too widely, etc.
