Collaboration Software: Enables employees to work productively remotely or in the office

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 07:47:07 +0000

http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/?cm_mmc=agus_iteplotv-20090615-usitp300-_-n-_-v2-_-y Jim Vaselopulos of PSC Group discusses how working remotely shouldn’t mean being less productive. Businesses can (and should) still be efficient, regardless of where employees are working. Collaboration software enables companies such as PSC Group to maximize productivity whether they’re in the office or working remotely.

PSC Group, LLC:
“Travel times and commutes have gotten so ridiculous, especially in larger cities, that you can get to work faster, you can get to productivity faster in the day, and its not that youre working less, in fact I find that people who are working remotely are working more, but you end up being far more productive because you dont have that burden of the commute. And also the emotional burden that comes with a two-hour commute. It weighs on you heavy. As soon as you step in to the office where you’re supposed to be productive and in a good mood.

Its funny, we used to measure our efficiency by how empty the office was. If the office was full, were not doing well. And if the office is empty, were doing great. Whats funny is, that over the years, we’ve got a full office. And much of that is that because people are working remotely. We can take control of desktop remotely. Everything we can do now with technology has enabled the work from home, work from the office and allow for a better quality of work from many of our consultants. And even a better quality of life for everyone involved, including the clients, who in many cases prefer to work from home.”

Social Networking Software: Enables businesses to run more efficiently

http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/category/network/?cm_mmc=agus_iteplotv-20090615-usitp300-_-n-_-pw-_-y Pat Weakly discusses collaborative web 2.0 tools such as wikis and their place in the business world. She touches on how Colgate-Palmolive is able to better run their plants across countries with collaborative software.

Pat Weakley Colgate-Palmolive
Everyone in our company says they want a wiki and I really want to make sure that they use it for the right thing. And its about being able to collaborate and to really work on policies and procedures. I see great opportunities for it in our manufacturing area where our plants can really share information on how to run the plants more efficiently across the geographies. These people dont work togetherbut theyll be able to kind of update the policy manuals and the procedures associated with the equipment, in real time.

Team Collaboration: Tools for virtually located companies

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:16:04 +0000

http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/quickr/?cm_mmc=agus_iteplotv-20090615-usitp300-_-n-_-ty-_-y Carl Tyler of Epilio uses collaboration software to keep his small business growing. By operating as a virtual office with employees working remotely, the company can increase customer service, raise productivity, and lower travel costs. For a small business, the overall costs savings and green benefits can be significant.

Epilio:
OK. Weve grown to nine employees. Were actually virtually located. Were spread across the country and our customers are located in different regions of the world. So having a central location for such a small company actually didnt make sense to us. So, using IBM technologies were actually able to be a virtual company, working remotely when we need to. By actually being able to work remotely, we can handle more customer issues in a single day, versus seeing one customer in a two-day period. So by avoiding the costs of the flight, were not only obviously helping the planet, were also helping ourselves, and the customer, save money.
