10 BENEFITS OF COLLABORATION SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR COMPANY
Collaboration is nothing new, but companies today are taking faster and bigger steps in adopting software systems to support the internal collaboration processes. The recent Next-Generation Communications (NGC) study which analyzed the communications practices of 126 companies found that the ones that considered collaboration as a main business goal saw significant business performance improvement compared to organizations that did not prioritize collaboration. Another study, the '2013 Collaboration and Process Management Survey' found that while 90% of respondents noted that collaboration technology would make them feel more productive at work, only 50% of all respondents said that their company invests in collaboration software. According to this study, 33% of small and medium business employees spend an hour or more each day, searching for shared files, emails, and scheduling meetings. 66% of respondents said that they would be more productive doing these administrative tasks if their company provided technology to help them find files easily, schedule meetings quickly and share documents with colleagues. The benefits of using collaboration technologies are not hard to identify. Easier, faster and securely collaboration can generate:
Increased employee productivity
Employee satisfaction
Increased creativity and innovation
Operational performance
Improved decision making
Projects traceability and management
Sales cycle reduction
Customer retention
Cost reduction
Faster problem resolution
A new era of collaboration across people is leading companies to more effective business outcomes. With the appropriate collaboration technologies, companies can escape meeting costs, provide knowledge workers with easy access to information, and manage teams in more effective ways. Working with external users – partners, suppliers – can also be streamlined through collaboration technologies. Companies can provide them the right information and coordinate their efforts more effective.
Using collaboration tools, employees come together and work in groups to quicker launch products on the market, solve problems faster, and bring innovative ideas. These solutions let employees collaborate when they aren’t in the same location, from offices all over the world, and keep them informed with the latest news. In a global marketplace, businesses, customers and employees are using large amount of information. Companies that discover, share and increase the value of their information put their businesses ahead of their competitors. Collaboration solutions enable companies to accelerate innovation, launch products to the market more quickly, and enable users to find and share information where and when they need.
