The Challenges
One of the key challenges in larger organizations is how to have teams effectively collaborate to develop new information, and once developed, how to have that information easily available for sharing.

The Tools
The most common tool leveraged in this space is the ubiquitous email. However, email is distributed storage and soon different versions of documents float around with no streamlined process and workflow.

To that end, Microsoft’s Sharpoint Portal provides a seamless way to store documents and associate them with projects (see project management solution). It also enables teams to quickly produce a site for their project collaboration – including issue tracking, announcements, news, etc.

Another capable product in this space is Oracle’s Collaboration Suite – which also includes calendaring and web conferencing capability to further assist the collaboration. It also includes the Portal technology coupled with search and network file store.

What eTelic Provides We bring the deployment expertise for these solutions and help the organizations integrate these into their workflow and processes.The key for success though is to train the end users in the workflow and processes so these tools can provide the projected returns on investments. And that is another area eTelic excels at.
