Collaboration
Working together in real time to enable change and high performance
- Is your organisation becoming more dispersed?
- Struggle to communicate with the right staff, at the right time and in the rich formats?
- Need to build some communities of interest to speed up the business effectiveness?
Our collaboration tools exploit the power of the web to help your team collaborate across boundaries efficiently and effectively. Providing a web based portal to access corporate documents, policies, standards, surveys and performance information.
The features are tailored to suit your needs with options for document rooms, questionnaires, discussions, blogs, news and more.
- Discussion boards: Are a powerful communication tool to allow all staff to ask and answer questions, share ideas and best practice, discuss threads and changes and offer opinions on new ideas and current events. This all happens in a safe, internal, business environment and enables you to communicate and listen to the business.
- Document management: Our tools enable you to create a central repository of video, audio, documents, policies and procedures. This allows the business to centralise its library whilst allowing users to identify new versions and items of interest. We allow multiple users to amend the same documents with full auditing and transparency to streamline operations and collaboration.
- Survey: Our suite of tools include the capability to create your own surveys and collect feedback from staff, customers and partners. At the creation of each new survey you build a library of questions that can be re run and re used in other surveys to generate quick, easy and manageable results.
- Branded portal:To enable the business to relate and embrace a portal we deliver our applications with branded easy-to-navigate web portals for you to disseminate key messages across the business. We can create portals in your brand, using your key messages and identity to embed them within your business as independent portals or additional parts of existing web based systems.
We can provide a number of features as standalone applications or within wider data-driven tools.
We provide role based access for users to consume or generate content in real time, one recent example was a CEO that recorded a rich, informative video from his laptop and shared it with the entire business within minutes of a major news item breaking, via the portal – quick, efficient, cost effective communication keeps business motivated and focussed on productivity and profit.
See below an example of how an organisation has benefited from our collaboration module.
Police Collaboration Hub for the Home Office & National Policing Improvement Agency »
Police forces have been required by the Home Office to collaborate more but lacked a secure space for communication on organisational development issues. Our secure website was commissioned by the Home Office and National Policing Improvement Agency to allow staff in police forces to share information easily. Users only see the content appropriate to their needs and authorisation.
The Hub includes discussion boards, survey and reporting tools, as well as brand aligned web content. The system was featured in a Microsoft case study, showcasing our innovative use of web-based software in a public sector context. Microsoft recently published a case study on this project, available here.
