Through mobile collaboration technologies, companies can give their workers the ability to access and share organisational information while on the move or working remotely.
Mobile collaboration is taking centre stage in the business world as enterprise mobility and remote working become mainstream. Mobility is becoming a point of competitive differentiation, so businesses need to embrace mobile collaboration technology to keep pace.
The workplace is now a virtual space made possible by platforms that let us work from anywhere with an internet connection. Now, workers aren’t tied to the office – making mobile collaboration just as important as face-to-face participation in the day-to-day operations of most businesses.
Platforms that support mobile collaboration, whether they are dedicated, standalone solutions or a component of a larger IT infrastructure footprint, have the potential to improve productivity within an organisation. They can also help to improve responsiveness and facilitate real-time decision-making processes.
Organisations have a growing number of platforms to choose from when it comes to mobile collaboration. Applications such as Microsoft SharePoint, Yammer and Skype, among others, offer organisations the ability to work together in a more timely and efficient way.
Thanks to this new class of solutions, companies can give their workers the ability to access and share organisational information while on the move or working remotely. They also let organisations, as a whole, communicate more efficiently with customers, colleagues, and partners, both inside and outside the office.
Mobile collaboration technology is transforming how we work. We have more flexibility than ever to be productive, no matter where we are. We can expect to see more capability in mobile work scenarios as time goes by and the technology supporting the trend continues to improve.
