Virtual collaboration solutions

Today virtual collaboration solutions are widely used by many companies for setting up remote teamwork, improving integral communication and saving cost & time. They can be successfully applied to planning and managing corporate projects and workflows. Companies benefit from using such solutions because their teams and employees can make joint efforts and follow teamwork rules regardless of their location. For example, a team located in India can efficiently communicate and collaborate with the headquarters based in the USA. It makes distance insignificant allowing teams to easily share information and exchange files in telework environments.

If your company needs to lead remote teams, establish productive communication between branches, and carry out multiple projects and outsourced programmes, then it can try to use a system. The company will be enabled to build and lead telework teams deployed in multiple locations. Here are three key benefits your company gains if it uses virtual collaboration in project management and business planning:

• Substantial increases in employee productivity, teamwork efficiency and project performance due to establishing a single office environment.
• Significant cost & time savings through reduced employee travel to branch offices. Now employees are enabled to work jointly and participate in virtual collaboration work.
• Improved internal communication that results in quicker employee responses and generation of new global teams and workgroups which are able to make joint efforts and efficiently communicate with each other regardless of their location.

Virtual collaboration in knowledge management, project implementation and business planning becomes very important since it provides a foundation for simple emailing, document sharing, data exchange, team feedback and real-time group communication. Such issues as asynchronous tasks, lack of control over teams, inability to set up shared and joint goals for workgroups, and poor communication will no more exist in your company if you start using a system for telework implementation and maintenance.

For example, by using VIP Task Manager employees of your company can share their tasks, synchronously do assignments, exchange project data, send feedback to managers, access shared files, participate in collaborative project, make joint efforts and work on achieving common goals and objectives. Managers are enabled to track team-based tasks, control team performance and monitor project progress.

In VIP Task Manager there is Workflow Editor that helps set up new workflows for your specific projects and processes. Each workflow type can be assigned to selected task groups – this solution makes it easier for managers to plan new projects and phases that have unique task statuses.

In VIP Task Manager you can go to Calendar view to make both individual and group calendars. This functionality simplifies time planning as you can make a single calendar and share it among multiple users. Note that you will need to use Permissions panel to allow users to view/edit/delete/create tasks and calendars. This panel makes virtual collaboration in workplace flexible.
