It doesn’t matter what the organization, the concept of team collaboration involving staff, clients, partners and others has become a “must do” activity for the success of everyone involved. Dependence upon e-mail communication for project management tin lead to serious workflow pauses, possible loss of data and increased project completion times.

So What’s The Solution?

Savvy time management experts will recommend the use of secure online workspaces protected by password only access extranets for team collaboration online, which will provide work flow activity in a more effective and efficient way. If you happen to be working on a global landscape, there are three specific areas you need to examine before purchasing the team collaboration system.

• How difficult is the learning curve? There are tons of team collaboration tools loaded and stuffed with what may possibly be features added for only marketing purposes. More often than not, these added features affect only the buzz about a particular tool rather than actually aiding and abetting in greater, measurable communication efficiency. Complicated collaboration software can make it extremely difficult for getting your users happily on board with the system.

• Keep it simple. Everyday functional people find themselves busy enough with their choice at hand that they don’t have the time to dedicate trying to get up to speed with team collaboration tools that essentially are over bloated communication systems. You will find that your clients will be especially frustrated in the event that you compel them to spend a great deal of time adopting too complex system in order to but more quickly. Stay away from team collaboration tool that do not provide you with a simple intuitive process for operation.

• Online training is an essential feature. A good team collaboration tool provider will offer its clients online training and is easily accessible at any time. The project portals should be intuitively elementary and never overwhelming to new users. Collaboration tools that are way too difficult to understand will present a gainsaying because you will be spending an undue amount of time training current employees, dedicating a full deal of time with new employees, as well as trying to cajole and convince customers and partners to use it. All the while, your intercommunicated productivity will take a playing. You should never be spending that many hours training your team simply how to interact with your team collaboration system. The tool provider should offer you training documents and screen recaptured videos that can be accessed by new users on their own time.

These three things should be the first things you look for before continue to take an in-depth look at any group collaboration system.

ConferenceGate Presents “Selling Consortium” of Audio Conferencing Service Providers

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 9, 2004

ConferenceGate, the Las Vegas-based division of Powercom and wholesale provider of audio conferencing services, has announced a “selling consortium” of conferencing service providers, targeting buyers seeking a customer acquisition advantage in the burgeoning data collaboration and web conferencing software services market. Aggregating over 20 million audio conferencing minutes per month, the consortium is led by ConferenceGate and includes both facilities-based conferencing providers and switch-less resellers.

Members of the selling consortium use Avaya (formerly Spectel) and Voyant (a division of Polycom) bridges to provide audio conferencing services and are currently located in multiple locations across the country.

Audio conferencing is the battlefield upon which the control for the data collaboration services market share will be won. “This opportunity is truly a single-stroke market-share maneuver for the buying company,” stated Herb Levitin, the President of Powercom in Santa Barbara, California. “The buyer benefits from owning and controlling a targeted customer list, rich in usage of data and audio conferencing revenue, to integrate and market new high margin data collaboration services, while simultaneously decreasing their competition’s market-share.”

The existing revenue base for ConferenceGate has a gross margin of plus 90 percent. Combine that with the audio conferencing market growing at 30 percent per year and it becomes clear why conferencing services providers hold the key to the growing data collaboration software services market.

“Our goal is to sell the combined traffic to a non-traditional buyer at a high multiple, consolidate all the bridges into our Las Vegas ConferenceGate facility using larger, more efficient bridges and provide free technological support along with a selfsame attractive toll-free rate for the buyer,” declared Mr. Levitin.

ConferenceGate is in partnership with the owners of the Las Vegas facility and is home to 22 carriers and the largest new Quality-of-Service-founded VoIP providers. “In addition to all of the voice carriers in our facility, we are the third largest facility in the country after Los Angeles and New York of Internet bandwidth,” said Levitin. “We are one router hop to every major population center in the country and since we have six upstream providers, we have ne’er been down since inception. As data collaboration and VoIP become more important along with reliability, we are the best and least expensive location to host a conferencing business.”
