Where did it come from? What social networks? can it do? And how can it help your company or organisation? Social collaboration saves the day. On March 11, 2011, a devastating earthquake struck Japan, interrupting the country’s transportation infrastructure. In Tokyo, thousands of people were left stranded, facing difficult choices: Wait until the transportation systems starts working, walk home, or find a roof for the night.2 The people of Tokyo responded. Government agencies, companies, and even individuals opened their homes to strangers. And a group of Japanese software developers came together on the Web to publicise the availability of shelter with an interactive map of Tokyo. Twitter connects Japan. Using Twitter as their principal communication mechanism, the map was populated in a few hours with details on the temporary shelters. By midnight, over 180,000 people had accessed the map, and many stranded commuters were eventually spared the ordeal of spending a night out in the cold.3 What happened in Tokyo was not an isolated event. From the uprisings in Egypt to the capture of Osama Bin Laden, collaborative technologies have been used to share important information and inform the global Japan after the 2011 earthquake community.

  • Enabling Enterprise Collaboration
    Enabling enterprise collaboration Summer Hugo Sarrrazin Copyright © McKinsey & Company 2013 Kara Sprague Michael Huskins 2 Enabling enterprise collaboration The success of large organizations often depends on the ability of its employees to work collaboratively across time and distance. Greater collaboration increases productivity, enhances innovation, and reduces time-to-market. There are numerous IT tools that enable collaboration within the enterprise. These tools often overlap in functionality, have different standards, create security concerns, or put additional burdens on a company’s IT organization and infrastructure. Consequently, in many companies, IT infrastructure executives are working through how best to select, deploy, and support the right set of collaboration tools. Although the lines are not clearly drawn, collaboration tools broadly fall into one of several categories: Communication: Tools that enable synchronous and asynchronous communication, including videoconferencing, instant messaging, white-boarding tools, and e-mail. Team collaboration: Tools that help teams organize their work and work product, including file sharing, project planning/management, group calendaring, and event scheduling. Writing/editing: Tools that help teams work together on documents and/or publish documents, including wikis and online document processing tools (e.g., GoogleDocs). Engaging/networking: Sites and tools that enable social media, networking and blogging. We recently convened several Silicon Valley IT executives at the Chief Infrastructure Technology Executive Roundtable (CITER) to discuss how best to derive value from collaboration and collaboration tools. This overview synthesizes the findings from our discussions with the CITER members. 1. The benefits of collaboration tools are there, but it is often difficult to measure these benefits and calculate return on investment.

  • Connecting Business Collaboration with Social Networking
    Chapter 1 Connecting Business Collaboration with Social Networking In This Chapter ▶ Understanding what social collaboration means ▶ Moving beyond the “Facebook inside your company” slogan ▶ Accessing new resources in social collaboration systems ▶ Competing and coexisting with e-mail ▶ Finding practical applications for social collaboration e often talk about having a social life, separate from our work Wlives, recognizing that mingling the two can be hazardous. Social Collaboration For Dummies isn’t a book about being social at work, in the sense of flirting or sharing jokes. By social collaboration, I mean recognizing that business is inherently social, even when social interaction is constrained within the bounds of professionalism. In this chapter, I help you understand what social collaboration is (and what it isn’t), outline some of the benefits of implementing a social collaboration system in your business, and suggest some ways that you can help colleagues shift fromCOPYRIGHTED e-mail to social collaboration tools MATERIAL (and know when to use one over the other). I also give you some real-world examples of how social collabora- tion can help employees solve specific problems and complete tasks more efficiently. 005_9781118658543-ch01.indd5_9781118658543-ch01.indd 7 99/25/13/25/13 111:401:40 AAMM 8 Part I: Getting Started with Social Collaboration Defining Social Collaboration Social collaboration comprises social networking and social media for the purpose of getting work done in an enterprise setting. The collaboration part is just as important as the social part. In this context, collaboration is about getting work done with teams of people, working together toward a common goal — which is essential to any business.

Eteng1, *and Samuel O. Oladimeji1 1Department of Computer Science, University of Calabar, Calabar.. *Email: [email protected], [email protected],ng [email protected] Received on 05/11/2019; revised on 07/04/2019; published on 07/05/2019 Abstract For our Universities to match global demands for research and innovation, the absence of viable collaboration platforms that encourage continuous and relevant multi-disciplinary research would have to be addressed to enable collaborative research take place at the convenience of all team members. This research study aims at presenting the academia with a suitable online collaboration platform that promotes collaborative research among students with lecturers serving as online supervisors such that research activities can be shared among all team members anytime and anywhere. The Adaptive Software Development model was employed. A Joint Appli- cation Design Requirement Gathering (JAD-R) session was conducted to determine the required functionalities and tools for the user interface design of the web-based platform. Based on the findings of the JAD-R session a database was designed for the platform’s information system. The software was constructed using PHP and Javascript programming languages with the Model Viewer Control- ler (MVC) programming technique on the programming framework called CodeIgniter (CI) to support continuous development and subsequent maintenance of the software.

  • Maximizing Collaboration & Situational Awareness
    Maximizing Collaboration & Situational Awareness APPLICATION NOTES APPLICATION 9 Interconnect, share, and monitor any or all AOC theater radios 9 Implement “Voice- Net” between key personnel CRC ASOC Background Current collaboration rests on the Air Forces’ ability to share air pictures among C2ISR elements; this is often hindered by terrain. Low level air operations in support of ground troops cannot be viewed at the Air Operations Center (AOC). Knowing an operation is underway, the often-heard questions is “What’s happening?” When lives are on the line there is an “urgency to know.” Other means of collaboration involve Internet Relay Chat (IRC) which has become an overwhelming avalanche of data that inundates the operator with a mix of mundane and critical data, and everything in-between. These instant messages often get mixed, merged, and missed. Finally, voice collaboration is seen as “old school” but that is based on simple point-to-point comms or monitoring SATCOM radio reports that tend to yield no meaningful data to address the “what’s happening” question. Challenges CHAT: The current C2 collaboration tool-of-choice is Internet Relay (IR) Chat. While this secure instant messaging capability has value, it is overwhelming individual crew members “chat saturation” is often the norm. The risk? Missing a critical textual input in the heat-of-battle. SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: During the conduct of a specific operation or “push” the AOC is often blind to the scenarios as it unfolds; they often rely on voice reports of underway operations. Due to terrain, they may gain an incomplete air picture that only hints at where critical assets are located.
