Gaining Synergies of Concurrent Collaboration!!!

Collaboration might be an easy term on the face of it, but it does bring with it, lot of advantages. Collaboration, in the present day solutions can be done in two ways:

Sequential Collaboration, in which a user will be able to work only after his coworker submits his work for collaboration. This can be best put in as a sequential work flow.

Concurrent Collaboration, in which multiple users would be able to work simultaneously on a single object, and would be able to view the changes being performed by other co-workers real-time.

Today, most of the authoring, designing and case management solutions provide sequential collaboration, but comparitively few numbers support Concurrent Collaboration as well.

Concurrent Collaboration finds its way in the application areas of authoring, designing, modeling, knowledge management, Front Office Case Management etc., there is no end to this list!

With open source, tools like Google-Docs, Google-wave etc., many solutions and organizations are gaining synergies. Kudos to google and other open-source vendors for that! Organizations can have brighter tommorrows.

Reducing the need for thick-installations, high end machines and premisis based limitations, these tools help reduce the Turn-Around-Time for Organizations to produce quality outputs.

Through increased availability of knowledge team members, Organizations can certainly look forward to greener pastures.

Enterprise Solutions offering Concurrent Collaboration would greatly help Organizations, thus, this should be sought out as a sure-shot functionality to be offered by all the Software Vendors.
