Making Collaboration Easy |
| |
The playwright George Bernard Shaw once said, “If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas , then each of us will have two ideas .” |
| |
Businesses have always encouraged employees to share and build upon each other's ideas. That sounds so simple, doesn't it? However, today's workplace is hectic. Employees are drowning in communication, but how effectively are they able to collaborate with one another? Maybe if there was a better way for them to share ideas, they could spend more time having them and less time just managing communications. |
| |
IBM Lotus Notes and Domino software is an ideal solution for the communication and collaboration needs of any sized business. It has been around since 1989, and is the tried and true platform in the world of high performance enterprise software. With the latest version, Lotus Notes and Domino 7, businesses will be able to utilize their employees' knowledge like never before. |

For starters, members of a project team can now create their own online team space. |
| |
This means that all the data about their project is in one convenient and accessible spot. It also means no more having to track somebody down to find out one piece of information. The team space is a great project management tool, as well. Tasks can be assigned. People can have discussions. Members of the team can be notified of changes to the project. This type of architecture, called repository-based collaboration, is the way to go since documents are getting bigger and more complicated all the time. Security concerns can be addressed by access control on the basis on process, group, or role. |

Back in the day, meetings and conferences were the main way people got together to exchange ideas. Nowadays, people working for the same company can be located halfway around the globe from each other. Travel on even a national level is more expensive and time consuming than ever. That makes Lotus Notes web conferencing an ideal means of getting people together. In a web conference, participants are in a real time, secure, online room. One of the extremely cool web conference features of this software is that attendees can use streaming audio and video. They can easily share applications and documents. |
| |
They can even change who's controlling the applications. This level of interactivity makes for productive, exciting meetings. Unlike in the brick and mortar world, there's no need to reserve a conference room ahead of time. Web conferences can be easily started any time, and half the IT department doesn't need to be involved to set it up! |

Not all instant messaging systems are the same. IBM Lotus Notes instant messaging is packed with extras that other systems wish they had! Like the built in business card, spell check, and emoticons. Employees can send instant, croppable screenshots. The click to talk feature makes it a snap to manage a VoIP conference call. The status message changes automatically, for example, when the user joins a web conference. New connection options make it simpler for employees to chat with folks outside of the company on other IM networks. Microsoft Office application integration and audio and video capabilities round out the long list of features on this very robust instant messaging system. |
| |
Lotus Notes and Domino 7 is a brilliant business solution for companies that want to take employee collaboration to new heights. Whether it's in team space, web conferencing, or instant messaging, employees will be exchanging ideas and innovating! George Bernard Shaw would approve. |
