Service Detail
In today's hypercompetitive global economy, the speed of business has increased dramatically, with the most efficient companies maintaining a competitive advantage. Whether they're striving for a greater share of the marketplace, stronger customer loyalty or the next big idea, there is one thing that all organisations need to succeed – real-time collaboration.
Presence and location information, instant messaging, web conferencing, discussion forums, desktop sharing, IP telephony using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other real-time collaboration technologies can enable organisations to achieve heightened productivity. Thus enabling a faster response to customers, greater agility in capturing business opportunities and a more innovative, competitive approach to business communications.
If adopted in a piecemeal fashion, however, these collaboration tools can drive up costs, threaten the security of business-critical information and even make it more difficult for employees to work productively. Only when you integrate these functions, can you start to maximise the benefits of real-time collaboration.
And that's how IBM can help. IBM real-time collaboration can design and deploy a system that combines presence, data, voice and video communications to enable anytime, anywhere collaboration. By deploying an integrated, converged-communications-ready network, IBM can help you take advantage of synchronous communications capabilities such as:
- Contact "buddy" lists with presence and location information
- Instant messaging, with click-to-chat and click-to-call functionality
- Group text and group voice chat
- Whiteboard collaboration, enabling brainstorm sessions
- Application and desktop sharing in real time
- Co-browsing
- IP telephony
- Video, web and audio conferencing tools designed to simplify administration
