A lot of information and increasingly inaccessible.

Every day businesses deal with more information, in different places and formats: in management systems such as ERP, CRM, …; in the shape of folders, documents, e-mails, …; on websites, blogs, social networks,…

One of the most widely used solutions is the "legendary" windows explorer, which is not very efficient when looking for information.

Problems with e-mail in group communication and collaboration

E-mail is an effective means of communication when this communication is 1 to 1, or even 1 to N, but only in one direction. When the communication is to a group of people, then far from being a means of communication, it becomes a means of unproductiveness and poor communication.

There is no identification with the company.

Particularly in companies with teams that spend most of the day working outside the company; in these cases, the workers feel more identified with the client than with the company they work for. How can we maintain this connecting link with the organisation? Social and collaborative resources play a very important role.

Collaboration is increasingly complicated

In addition, the team is increasingly distributed, with people belonging to the organisation or external workers who collaborate on certain projects, clients, countries, ...
