Collaboration, Mobility and Virtuality

Posted by Bapak on Monday, October 10, 2011



for several years, several approaches to work effectively in a team, generally called the cooperation we have started the e-mail and groupware and intranet portals or team chat solutions. Some of them are well established now, for others it is - at best - still a long way to reach them. If you consider the challenge of co-operation with the users' point of view, it becomes quickly apparent that I still want the improved concepts.

people will work in teams within the company are equally well-off - at least if the company structure is a solid one, for example, the implementation of Lotus Notes / Domino infrastructure. Version 8 Lotus Notes / Domino, along with notes, activities made ​​a major step towards flexible cooperation, although it remains limited to a comparatively inflexible enterprise IT infrastructure. However, mobile users and small businesses with a largely virtual structures and temporary structures for implementing a virtual work outside the company, faced a completely different scenario.

In this area, the typical collaboration tool is e-mail. Everyone is familiar with overflowing mail boxes, and there are few who can deal effectively infinite amounts of attachments. All in all, e-mail is an important medium, but simply inappropriate for many tasks.

Additional chat programs and other mechanisms to add a pitiful situation that more and more tools are available without actually simplifying communication, just as many different systems and methods. Skype conversations nice invention, the results are stored in log files, but hardly anyone ever read these log files.

Looking at the problem from the view of what a mobile user typically works in a virtual structures really need, it becomes quite obvious that many of the standard approach does not rade.Broj users affected by this defect is quite large, consisting freelance consultants, small innovative companies, research groups and many others. In these scenarios, decisions that require your server infrastructure are the first to get out of the race, for such infrastructure must be built and run by people very familiar with this business - who have largely disappeared. In addition, more specific problems involved such as the right bandwidth for access to your own server, or more service connections fees for the provision of fixed IP addresses - not to mention the security challenges. That means turn off all systems such as Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange - the latter anyway, but instead mail collaboration tool -. Out of a possible choice

the requirements of user groups in question must be met by a tool that allows offline work - and can be used on different platforms. What these users need a solution that the demand can also be accessed via the web, especially for the integration of staff from the major companies involved in joint projects and monitor specific IT policy is not allowing them to install a local primjenu.Idealno solution should enable users to share documents, calendars, management, maintenance tasks, and do other basic work - the easy way. If more than one computer used, the identical data should be available to all of them. Add some integrated chat, or even VoIP functions for communications within virtual teams, and you'll get a tool that supports a virtual mobile user far better than the e-mail or the like.

Collaboration suppliers have become aware of this requirement. Collanos Workplace Collanos provided clear answers to concentrate. Some of the required functions as a platform for independence and offline capabilities are already implemented, others are in the roadmap, from VoIP and network integration services to enable browser-based work, the simplified use on more than one računala.Cijeli system is characterized by user-friendly look and feel. Another solution is just positioning in this market segment, Microsoft Office Groove. However, it has an add-in for Microsoft Server heat - so catch up with Lotus Notes / Domino 8th And there is platform independence.

This does not mean that e-mail will be completely off-limits to users in question. However, in many scenarios, access to information will be much easier than before -. Serve a large group of mobile people who work in virtual structures in a more appropriate way
