Meeting the Enterprise Collaboration Challenge
Nemertes Research, April 2009, Pages: 13
Effective global collaboration is vital to the success of the distributed organization. Organizations increasingly view applications such as Web, audio, and video conferencing, messaging, and document collaboration as critical components of an effective collaboration strategy. Virtual workers operating from remote locations must easily share information, communicate, and interact unencumbered by technical limitations. By delivering services to optimize the performance, management, and delivery of collaborative applications, managed service providers can uncover new revenue opportunities.
The Issue:
Nearly 90% of research participants in this report say they operate “virtual” organizations, defined as companies that have employees who work remotely from their supervisors and/or workgroups. Within these companies, about 30% of the employees work virtually, and in that capacity, they must collaborate with each other, as well as with partners, suppliers and customers operating across multiple offices, regions, or countries. As a result, effective collaboration is no longer a “nice-to-have,” rather it is a critical requirement for success in the modern economy. Research participants say effective collaboration is a prerequisite for establishing an agile organization, one that is able to quickly respond to new opportunities and meet emerging ones.
The changing workplace has led to growth in adoption of collaboration applications and services such as Voice Over IP, unified communications, video conferencing, Web conferencing, and document sharing. Unfortunately, IT organizations are struggling to support these collaboration applications in light of falling IT budgets. Many organizations lack the capabilities, both in staff and equipment, to manage application performance. As a result, growing numbers of enterprises are turning to Managed Services Providers (MSPs) to reduce implementation and operational costs of their collaboration applications.
