World is becoming complex everyday, with organizations being at the fore front. Employees are evolving in the manner they go about doing their jobs. With de-centralisation being the mantra for the world, collaboration is critical for the success. The major challenges which today's organization face are:
- With value chains becoming global, building relationships and communication is more difficult as teams are dispersed across time zones and are composed of both employees and people outside the organization.
- With increase in Consumerisation, employees bringing in devices and applications from their personal lives challenge business privacy and security.
- Video portals, podcasts, blogs, wikis, and discussion forums exponentially load resources and there is an information overload facing for people/ employees
- Technology advances, green initiatives, and dispersed teams require collaboration capabilities to follow workers wherever they go.
These challenges affect the interactions between employees, partners and customers: slowing key business processes, hindering the ability to build trust, reducing responsiveness to customers and to market trends, and most importantly, causing missed opportunities for the customer.
