FreePint Report: Enterprise Collaboration
Jinfo Report

25th July 2012

Abstract

Workers are increasingly expecting -- and expected to -- collaborate through tools that connect them to each other easily, seamlessly and without regard to organisational hierarchy. The tools that support this kind of collaboration improve constantly. For them to be effective rather than chaotic, however, they need to be implemented thoughtfully, with close attention to user behaviour and needs, organisational culture, and overall business objectives.

This report supports information managers, intranet managers and knowledge managers with thinking strategically about different approaches to enterprise collaboration, as well as communicating with other stakeholders who need to be involved to achieve successful outcomes.
