Groove Virtual Office: Enabling Our New Modes of Work
Overview
Today over half of us work out of the traditional "office" at least part of the time. And most of those who are relatively stationary in a traditional office have to interact with virtual workers in order to get their jobs done. And getting our jobs done is not easy. Every day we have to negotiate a maze of network connections, firewalls, file systems, tools, applications, databases, voicemails, and emails (including the twin devils of Spam and Spam Filters). We spend most of our time trying to find information or reach people, and very little is left to actually do productive work.
Our organizations are expending a great deal of time, effort, and money trying to make this easier. Many companies try strategies that include portals, extranets, VPNs, and browser-based applications?strategies that at best have been only partially successful (e.g., for workers that can always find a broadband connection and can access the requisite server) and frequently have made life for the virtual team even more complicated and frustrating. What ultimately suffers is organizational productivity and effectiveness, as well as individual efficiency. What is needed in our new virtual workplace is a way to recreate the model of the physical office, where everybody and everything is easily available from anywhere at anytime. Read this White Paper to learn about software solutions that specifically addresses the issues of working in our increasingly virtual world.
