TOP BENEFITS OF COLLABORATION

Collaborative tools such as voice, video, database, Web conferencing, interactive remote white boarding, blogs, wikis, document and knowledge repositories, allow you to:

> Speed up search capabilities
> Eliminate duplication of infrastructure investment
> Perform and benefit from online polls and surveys
> Centrally store schedules where everyone can see the updated status of a project
> Deliver real-time alerts to a geographically dispersed team, organization, and external party
> Structure workflow so that as tasks are performed the work moves forward to the next appropriate person
> Record all this activity so it can be leveraged later as need and converted into organized corporate intelligence

COLLABORATION IN ACTION
Teams within the collaborative environment build community, unity and consensus among members without the required face time traditionally needed. Further, through collaboration, businesses of all sizes are able to keep teams connected and stay productive which then enables better decision-making and stronger relationships with customers, partners, and suppliers.

Collaborative technologies are also used for knowledge management. Locating information quickly is an area of significant cost, both in terms of time spent searching, and in terms of consequential damage as a result of dealing with dated and/or inaccurate information. Survey results tell us that in a non-collaborative type of environment, only 25% of workers can find the information they require in ten minutes or less. Another 25% must reproduce information because they can't find it at all. And nearly 50% of them make decisions based on out-of-date information. Collaboration technology not only helps you create repositories for important information that can be quickly indexed and searched, but also helps employees easily tag information and store revisions - resulting in a more managed, up to date knowledge base.

Watch this Webcast now and see how collaboration can work in your organization.
