Is your organisation planning for the collaboration revolution?
In 5 years time collaboration tools will change the way your employees work.
Over the past 3 years various technologies have matured and converged to provide employees with effective tools for collaborating in the workplace.
These technologies include:
- Communications via voice, video, chat and messaging
- Meeting, document and project management
- Integration to third party application services
- Accessibility from desktop, browser and mobile.
The key challenge to a successful collaboration deployment is the focus on change management, as these tools are orientated towards a business process implementation and not just another IT project.
