The term “collaboration solution” (CS) is often thrown about, and while you may have heard the term before, it’s important to understand what a collaboration solution entails before you embark upon on your UC&C journey. The unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) space is booming and as the UC&C market grows increasingly expansive, so, too, does the verbiage used to describe UC&C technology. Before you can answer the question “How can a CS help me?” you must first know the answer to “What is a collaboration solution?“
What is a Collaboration Solution?
Put simply, a collaboration solution is software that enables communication and collaboration on a grand scale. There are different iterations of collaboration solutions, with varying features like web, video and audio conferencing, as well as chat, instant messaging (IM), presence, file and screen sharing and even project management capabilities.
While collaboration is an action – a facet of human behavior – rather than a process that can be carried out by technology, in today’s tech heavy workplace, collaboration is nearly impossible without the proper CS.
How to Find the Right Solution
The key to finding the perfect collaboration software for your organization is to first identify your team’s unique collaborative needs. How does your team communicate best, and in what areas does your collaboration struggle? What technological needs are not being met in your organization, and how is this lack of technology negatively affecting communication? How can you streamline communication and facilitate better teamwork in your particular organization?
