Streamlined Collaboration

Move Faster with Effective Collaboration

Let's start with a blinding flash of the obvious. Information moves.

It moves markets, innovation, time-to-market, price, profits and productivity.

Enterprise RSS moves information. Enterprise 2.0 tools enable people to easily work together to share ideas, develop solutions, improve work processes and solve problems.

Building a collaborative network can have a profound impact on your teams' abilities to anticipate market trends and accelerate implementation.

Effective collaboration expands the size and scope of projects and the number of projects that can be handled simultaneously.

Use it well and you can get products and services to market faster and outpace competitors.

A managed feed environment is at the heart of an effective collaborative network.

It is a critical tool that automatically and intelligently gets the right information to the right people at the right time and can free organizations to move faster than ever before.

RSS Puts the Flow in Web 2.0

Think of it this way. RSS, ATOM and XML put the flow in Enterprise 2.0.

Enterprise RSS is at the foundation of the collaborative infrastructure. It provides secure, clutter free communication channels that enable knowledge workers, partners and customers to more effectively receive, act on and collaborate around high-value and high-priority information. By automatically, instantly and intelligently delivering the most up to date relevant, information to everyone involved, team members can identify and act on opportunities and threats faster and decrease response time from minutes to seconds.

Get the right information to the right people at the right time and keep people consistently and instantly informed

Innovative businesses are adopting new search, syndication, subscription and social network technologies and discovering new ways to enrich the value of information while streamlining internal and external communications.

Web feeds and collaborative publishing tools like blogs and wikis are driving fundamental changes in how businesses can effectively communicate internally and externally. These tools allow knowledge workers to publish, track, monitor and be notified of new and constantly changing information without having to search or request it. The long-term benefit of these software tools is that they accelerate interactive improvements and increase awareness through knowledge sharing of strategic initiatives, internal processes, customer opportunities, competitive threats and industry trends impacting your business.

This new approach increases the opportunity for productive interactions and information transactions that are critical to executing business strategy, growing revenues and increasing operating margins.

Tools for Teams

Blogs, Wikis and RSS inspire collaboration and create teams and communities working collectively toward a common end, creating improvements and solving problems interactively. These online publishing and syndication tools also eliminate barriers imposed by conventional communications by expanding transparency and providing a persistent source of information.

Tracking Team Projects

Departments and cross-functional teams communicate vast amounts of information daily. Using RSS subscription feeds to automatically update team members reduces information clutter and helps to deliver the right information to the right people with ease. Team members can benefit from automatically updated project management information including project status, shared knowledge, and changes in planning timelines, milestones, and general progress reports. This includes internal communications behind a firewall and is secured on both the inbound and outbound transmissions.

Building Shared Vision and Delivering Insight

When a project team member has done the work of identifying valuable information, coworkers should be able to take advantage of that work without duplicating effort. This can be implemented easily using tagging and RSS and collaborative publishing software tools currently available to create a "must-read" news feed that coworkers can easily subscribe to.

Each time content captures a team member's attention and is considered useful, the content can be tagged with appropriate keywords so that every team member receives the latest information automatically.

The Attensa FeedServer puts the power of collaborative workspace software and RSS technology to work helping businesses solve problems, spark innovation and improve decision-making.

Big Advantages Over Intranets

Social networks also efficiently build group memory through persistence and attention. On project blogs and wikis, information is continuously available for access and the most useful information gets the most attention through links and editing activity. This collaborative filtering drives the relevant information to prominence to the benefit of the entire community.

Blogs and wikis used with subscription web feeds have a huge advantage over traditional intranets. Knowledge creators publish information in context, improving the value of content, and information is sent to subscribers automatically rather than relying on them to obtain it manually. With the Attensa FeedServer administrators can create standard subscriber lists based on project teams, department management, or any other designation, and target information to exactly who needs it.
