Product Code: R663-24Description Documents are an integral part of every business and institution. Organizations of all sizes must learn to manage the production of documents effectively, efficiently, and diligently, in order to ensure best business performance. Technologies like Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMSs) have helped organizations improve internal efficiency; however, extending these systems to partners and stakeholders has proved more difficult.
Internet connectivity now provides incredible reach, but productivity is still constrained by the collaborative range of office productivity tools and ingrained working practices. The time has come for Document Collaboration to move from simple collaborative exchanges to sophisticated collaborative experiences. This report will allow you to understand how investments in this technology can deliver real business benefits and improve your competitive advantage.
Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow are important enablers of more formal Document Collaboration processes, and have the potential to dramatically improve operational efficiency and compliance. Also, the evolution of Software as a Service (SaaS) and online solutions, such as Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Confluence, FilesAnywhere, WikiPad, and StikiPad, will make the World Wide Web an increasingly important environment for Document Collaboration. Order your report today and understand how Document Collaboration processes and strategies can help you support, encourage, and facilitate high-value interactions in a manner that ensures information confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility.
This report allows you to:
- Understand why no single Document Collaboration product, solution, or vendor can satisfy every organization's needs.
- Learn the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to Document Collaboration.
- Access insightful analysis and market lifecycle ratings through 2010.
- Compare information on key vendors, products, and technologies within this market.
Key findings:
- Wikis and blogs are here to stay, and document authoring and collaboration tools must integrate fully with these new paradigms.
- Information workers spend up to 30% of their working day just looking for data they need to complete a task, and 15-25% of their time on non-productive, information-related activities.
- Both figures are untenable positions for any organization.
- The interest in online collaboration solutions has clearly accelerated since the terrorist attacks on New York and London, and this has resulted in a plethora of new products on the market and a new eagerness from established vendors.
- Open Document Format (ODF) has achieved growing acceptance as the document format of choice for governments around the world, less than six months after its adoption as an international standard.
