These technology innovations are doing more than just enhancing the way businesses operate; they are showing the millennials a new way to collaborate and work.Effective collaboration not only increases productivity by making it easier for employees to share knowledge, it also enables organizations to act on new opportunities and disrupt the fabric of their business. Meanwhile, the seamless collaboration between different departments, field offices, or even individual employees is always a challenging issue--with multiple channels of information traversing the enterprise. To tackle these issues and ensure better collaboration, solution providers are offering a suite of innovative products that enable flexibility for individual needs with configurable functionalities. For instance, they are integrating social networking and crowdsourcing components into collaboration tools to provide a new potential to improve organizational agility, increase productivity, aid decision making and spark idea generation.These solutions are powerful enough to penetrate deep into processes and incentivize collaborative behaviors--ultimately transforming the way organizations turn knowledge into action. They are doing more than just digitizing old ways of doing things; they are making new ways of doing things possible. This is accomplished in part by embedding the technologies into the way work is performed so that using them becomes a natural and accepted part of the job. This is also helping companies with guidance on how particular processes can be optimally performed to improve quality and increase productivity. In this scenario, rather than accepting just modest improvements from these technologies, executives are aiming high and pursuing the greater gains that can come by embedding collaboration into specific processes.In this edition of CIOReview, we bring forth those new-age collaboration solution providers, who are offering more than just a platform to collaborate. We hope the insightful articles in the magazine will assist you in your strategies for collaboration.Jeevan GeorgeManaging Editoreditor@cioreview.comCollaboration for the FutureEditorialCopyright © 2016 ValleyMedia Inc.
