|
|
|
|
| A PAIN POINT |
| A vendor wanted to show a demo to a prospect – this was done over GoToMyMeeting - the applications that were running were GoToMyMeeting chat, Skype and the GoToMyMeeting application screen. Although the presenter navigated and handled all three applications with ease, the constant switching between applications had a weary impact on the prospect. Further, there was a gap in the voice communications as Skype terminated one of the participants. |
|
While the demonstration went off favorably, there were critical issues from the perspective of the management.
- Poor usability
- Possible violation of regulatory compliance laws and guidelines
- Possible breach of enterprise security
- Extended effort and cost for MIS to set up the meeting; monitor the system and pursue minutes of meetings for Compliance.

| INNOVATIONS IN I COLLABORATOR SAMEPAGE |
|
| Enterprise applications do not have to be something users baulk at. They can be neat, functional, friendly and innovative. These innovations help differentiate your offerings to your customers and put you on a path to winning the deal. |
|
| There are numerous innovations built into I Collaborator SamePage, and more will be added from time to time. Some of the existing and upcoming innovations include: |
|
|
Sessions Transfer |
| Sessions Transfer is the ability to transfer an ongoing conference session to a PDA or another computer, or a laptop. |
|
|
|
|
| Innovations In I Collaborator Samepage |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Office Collaboration |
| The most widely used productivity application often functions in isolation. While there may be applications that add some collaborative capability to Microsoft Office (Word, Excel &PowerPoint), I Collaborator SamePage come tightly integrated with the Microsoft Office Suite. |
|
|
|
Critical Communications Channel |
| Greatest barrier that managers faced in hours following 9/11 was the inability to get through on phones or their email accounts was due to extreme system loads. I Collaborator SamePage incorporates Critical Communications Channel which guarantees that will managers’ get through regardless of the system load. |
|
|
|
Meeting Manager |
| It is believed that about half the meetings are unrecorded, some of these may be telephonic conferences, Webex or conferences held using proprietary systems. Undocumented interaction with partners and customers often lead to people going back to work on the matter with different expectations. I Collaborator SamePage meetings have a Conference Name, and Agenda and, at the end of the meeting, Minutes of Meeting are generated. Meeting host can edit the Minutes and send it to the stakeholders. |
|
|
|
Secure Application Sharing |
| Other than the applications directly integrated, miscellaneous applications are shared by proactively secure VNC. Unlike many implementations of desktop sharing, I Collaborator SamePage incorporates proactive security, configurable timeouts, etc. |
|
|
|
Telephony & VoIP |
| A convergence of communications channel often lacks bringing the voice ecosystem into the fold. I Collaborator provides the ability to integrate POTS telephony with IP telephony, and that with I Collaborator SamePage, bringing the elusive voice ecosystem into the security fold and in reach of regulatory compliance. |
|
|
|
Workspaces |
| Documents are relegated on desktops or into enterprise repositories. With I Collaborator SamePage users can create work groups in the Workspace and bring the participants on the ‘same page’. Security features include granular rights management that can assign rights to edit/download, etc. Workspace is accessible remotely and allows participants to publish documents into a conference for collaboration. |
|
|
|
Threading |
| Emails, documents and voicemails related to a specific project have no simple way of being ‘tied’ to one another. I Collaborator SamePage will allow users to ‘thread’ documents to emails and even to voice mails into virtual folders. |
|
| |
|
| I COLLABORATOR SAMEPAGE COMPONENTS |
|
| I Collaborator SamePage module license allows integrators to select components in their area of interest and specialization. |
|
- Presence & Availability - Real-time availability of users in any application
- Security - Encryption, Intrusion detection, Anti Spam, Authentication, etc
- Collaboration - Real-time collaboration with/from any application
- Core Message Exchange - Secure, packetized message exchange
- Collaborative Workspace - For integration with Document Management Systems
- Telephony - Add IP Telephony capability into applications
- Secure File Transfers - Add capability to send files securely from any application
|
|
| I Collaborator SamePage Components |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| I Collaborator SamePage can also be integrated into the “Context Menu” (as item seen in right-click of a mouse). This enhances usability. |
|
|
|
Skinless Capability |
| With I Collaborator SamePage API, integrators can create ‘skinless’ capabilities. Take file transfer integration as an example. Integrators can embed the capability to allow for secure file transfer in a CRM application. This can be invoked by either (a) Right click and show “Send file with…”, or select the option from the File menu, (b) A component plugs into Microsoft Office that allows user to collaborate via I Collaborator SamePage by clicking on an icon or by right clicking. This can be customized to plug into most any application. |
|
|
|
Example of Usage |
| A financial brokerage was using a commercially available messaging core for an application that communicated with the stock exchange. The messaging core was needed to send orders to the stock exchange and get the confirmation of the delivery, or receive messages from the stock exchange confirming a trade that was executed. However, due to a combination of inefficient design and implementation, an increasing number of the packets were getting lost and the stock exchange system was disregarding the order as an incomplete – the system had no mechanism to confirm the sanctity of the order sent. This was a critical failure in the system design. |
|
| I Collaborator SamePage messaging core uses standard practice to confirm delivery. For example, C sockets establish a secure connection, and delivery could be ensured by use of SIMPLE protocol. All threads are cleared once the message sanctity is verified, and this mitigates most any chance of spoofing. |
|
|
|
Technology |
| I Collaborator SamePage has been built using custom sockets and coded in C#; this lends to an especially tight security core that I Collaborator SamePage possesses. The functional servers are discrete and can work independently of the others. All server components currently run on Microsoft .NET platform. A server runtime for Linux will be available in Q 2 of 2007. |
|
|

Security, Compliance & ILM Systems |
| Details in italics below excerpted from - http://bink.nu/Article7630.bink |
|
| “Microsoft Corp's complicated unified communications product roadmap, unveiled with much fanfare recently, is missing an important component: regulatory compliance tools for VoIP and instant messaging, according to Avanade Inc, an Accenture-Microsoft joint venture…” |
|
| “…As LeSueur pointed out, legal departments already work with IT departments on getting emails during the legal discovery period of a lawsuit. Throw VoIP and instant messaging into the mix and IT managers will need new tools to respond to subpoena requests, LeSueur said.” |
|
| "Now that you bring voice messaging, potentially instant messaging into an archive, how does that fit under the legal model that needs access for discovery?" he said. |
|
| Avanade, which sells integration services for Microsoft enterprise platforms but does not conduct regulatory audits, believes that while unified communications will have a "positive impact from a pure IT standpoint," these governance issues will need to be worked out in the marketplace, LeSueur said. |
|
| "There are pockets of groups working on such tools ... around individual pieces of these technologies," LeSueur said. "But there's definitely a need for a more collective set of these tools that could go across the broader platform." |
|
| I Collaborator SamePage helps organizations maintain stringent security and assure compliance to most any standard of regulatory compliance. I Collaborator can be integrated with archival and ILM systems. |
|
| All communications and actions in I Collaborator SamePage take place in a secure environment are stored in an encrypted format. |
|
| I Collaborator SamePage also allows for capture of voice communications, creating the highest level of compliance capabilities. |
|
| While logs are viewable by server administrators, the actual encrypted communication transcripts cannot be decrypted or viewed by any entity other than the super system administrator. The data is decrypted when transferred to the archival system. This meets with most any regulatory compliance laws and guidelines. |
|
Enhancement of Security & Compliance systems via I Collaborator SamePage
- Bring Instant Messaging into the compliance fold as required
- Secure communications with public messengers
- Use existing archival software
- Use existing security applications
- Enforce Chinese Walls
- Logs for compliance reporting
|
|
|
|
ERP, CRM & SFA applications + Enterprise Productivity Solutions |
| ERP, CRM and SFA are core to many business processes, yet in many cases they function in an independent silo. For example, the leading ERP system may incorporate messaging (at extensive costs), but may not allow for effective collaboration from and within Microsoft Office, or Adobe Acrobat - applications widely used in most businesses. |
|
| I Collaborator SamePage exposes its API’s that will help developers integrate into most productivity softwares. All collaboration conducted thereafter will also bring them under the security and compliance umbrella that is core to I Collaborator SamePage. |
|
Benefits in using I Collaborator SamePage with ERP, CRM & SFA applications
- Simple addition of collaborative capabilities
- Initiate text or voice communications from applications
- Provide ability for real time alerts (‘Push’ capability to cellular devices)
- Embed secure file sharing and transfer capabilities
- Policy driven rights and rules
- Media-rich conference with participants
|
|
|
|
Email & Directory Servers |
| Email & directory servers have been an area of constant attacks by hackers, and protecting these is traumatizing. Further, many of the regulatory compliance and privacy-based laws explicitly ask for fortifying these areas. Operationally, this is a resource intensive task and the enterprise must also maintain records for audits in the even of lawsuits, which are growing in proportion of the ‘ambulance chasing, law firms - I Collaborator SamePage helps mitigate this. |
|
| In addition to the above, although email is so core to most every user, it often functions as a free-standing tool – this does not contribute to leveraging the fuller use of emails. Directory Servers hold critical user information and this is constantly under attack by spyware, Trojan horses, and phishing, etc. |
|
| When integrated into I Collaborator SamePage, security and compliance issues get a boost. The fully integrated collaboration & communications solution will use a common, existing, directory service, common security tools and work with existing archival tools. With email server integrated, users know the presence and availability of the participants and can initiate rich collaborative sessions from within their email. |
|
Benefits in deploying I Collaborator SamePage with email & directory servers
- Use existing email servers and email clients
- Enhance security
- Use existing security applications and devices
- Extend use of directory services
- Provide “presence” information to users
- Initiate collaboration or text and voice from within users’ applications
|
|
|
|
PSTN, IP Telephony & VoIP |
| One of the greater gains of Internet is the ability to carry voice over its IP network – this gives it the potential of becoming a pervasive network – always available, anywhere by use of any device capable of connecting to it. More VoIP offerings now follow the open SIP standards; this made it possible for developers to create components to enhance the services. Presently we provide the ability to integrate Plain Old Telephony System (POTS or PSTN) to work with VoIP. With this capability, the scope to integrate expands dramatically. |
|
| Where an entity may not wish to migrate to an all VoIP network, integrators can offer integration of standard telephone systems into the future of communications – VoIP. Existing PBX systems can be integrated with IP voice systems opening up great communications avenues for businesses. |
|
| When integrated using our system, I Collaborator SamePage helps businesses enhance security and meet the most stringent compliance laws. |
|
| Our IP PBX is based on the open source Asterisk. |
|
Benefits in deploying I Collaborator SamePage IP PBX with IP, VoIP & POTS systems
- Integrate existing PBX systems
- Enhance to provide VoIP capabilities
- SIP based technology
- Allow ability to initiate voice calls from any application
- Bring regulatory compliance into the voice ecosystem
- Secure and managed convergence of voice and data for enterprise
- Manage telephony via the web
- Enhance security - packetized voice is more difficult to hack
- Monitor calls for quality assurance
|
|
|
|
Document Management Systems |
| Documents within users’ systems comprise of the greatest knowledgebase. There are estimates that 60% of the enterprise knowledgebase lies on users computers and are often forgotten - this document dormancy occurs at a far greater degree than believed. This document dormancy is a sinful loss for businesses, sinful because it does not have to be so. |
|
| Knowledgebase could be effectively disseminated with a convenient collaborative infrastructure. |
|
I Collaborator SamePage comes integrated with collaboration capabilities into
- Microsoft Office
- Acrobat PDF
- Context Menu
|
|
Benefits in enhancing Document Management System with I Collaborator SamePage Workspace
- Add real time collaboration capability
- Automated versioning
- File exchange logs
- Policy driven access (limit access, edit, download, etc)
- Initiate conferences with stakeholders
- Automated Minutes Of Meetings
|
|
|
|
Logistics |
| Many of the logistics solutions are large and often customized. Such applications especially benefit from integration of real time capability for certain functions. For example, initiate voice or text communications with an agent or a customer from a Bill of Lading; add the ability to collaborate on a proposal from Microsoft Word document, etc. These small enhancements can extend the usability of the application many-fold over. With I Collaborator SamePage, it is simple to integrate components such as these into most any application. |
|
Benefits of integrating I Collaborator SamePage with Logistics solutions
- Real time alerts to cellular devices
- Initiate voice and text communications with participants
- Show presence availability of other users
- Send files from the logistics application
|
|
|
|
Web & Browser Applications |
| Many of the newer business applications are being created as browser based applications. This makes the applications accessible from anywhere via the web. This standardizes approaches and allows developers the ability to create components that can be used to enhance the application for real-time interaction. Presence & availability, document collaboration, co browsing, file transfer, etc can be simply integrated using I Collaborator SamePage components. |
|
Benefits of integrating I Collaborator SamePage with Logistics solutions
- Co-browse (non-secure) applications with stakeholders
- Initiate conferences, share documents and presentations
- Send real time alerts
- Log actions of participants
