Groupware has evolved into an information portal -
a highly usable and secure information environment to achieve advanced knowledge sharing.
It is important to fully apply both human and information resources.
With the advent of the ubiquitous information society and the globalization of business, companies are demanding flexible IT environments and new business styles to adapt to the increasing speed of change.
What they require is flexible collaboration towards a common goal of people who possess different knowledge, expertise, and experience, outside of the existing corporate framework.
Groupmax Version 7 provides a collaboration portal built around cross-functionality, security, ubiquity and globalization, facilitating rich collaboration and rapid knowledge acquisition beyond the individual and organizational framework.
It helps create a virtual workplace for collaboration, enabling the organization of communities that bring together a variety of knowledge to create new insights and solve problems.
It also has enhanced security functionality built with compliance in mind, and applies electronic forums and mobile devices to promote real-time communication.
Because knowledge sharing beyond the barriers of organizations, time and place is the key to bringing further speed and value to businesses.
Communities can be organized flexibly, independent of existing organizational structures. An explicitly shared sense of purpose, expedited decision-making, and issue resolution plans that are more efficiently implemented produce flexible ideas. Companies can increase their productivity through strengthened application of intellectual property.
Because security can be set for each community, secure environments can be achieved without distracting users.
Information sharing is encouraged for flexible idea creation, while mitigating risks such as leaked information.
Conversation via electronic forums dedicated to discussion solutions supports the creation of new insights. File sharing and linkage to existing core business systems enable information sharing for existing materials, and effective application of knowledge.
