The Social Collaboration Shoot-Out

According to the McKinsey Global Institute:

• Social technologies could contribute $900 billion to $1.3 trillion in annual value to businesses. • 2/3 of this potential value is based on improving collaboration, communication and productivity. • 75% of enterprises will adopt a social collaboration platform in 2013. • Social presents an opportunity to raise the productivity of interaction workers by 20-25%.

The social technologies industry is fragmented and often broken into two camps: project/ (like , , Do.com, and ) and private social networks for collaboration/interaction (like Jive, Podio and Yammer). Deltek believes that these two focus areas should be connected in an integrated solution … like Kona.

Expanded Category Descriptions

• Free Version without People or Workspace Limits: Kona offers a robust free version with unlimited users and unlimited spaces/projects -- as well as applications for both iOS and Android devices. The Kona Business Edition will offer additional administrative controls and expanded features specifically for business users.

• Group Discussions: Kona is “conversation-centric” with powerful permissions determining who gains access to shared information and discussions. Yes, Kona has tasks -- but it’s been designed around the belief that communication within a group is more important than task management.

• Group Tasks: Kona provides expanded capabilities around tasks with multiple owners, followers and flexible permissions for accessibility. A differentiating feature is the “everyone must complete” task option, which automatically keeps track of which members of a group have finished an item that is required by all.

• Calendar: Kona provides a “conversation-centric” calendar for the group, while also allowing for them to be both imported from and exported to other ICS-compatible calendars. The Kona calendar also provides recurring events, drag-and-drop management of events, and includes tasks.

• Full Google Docs Integration: Kona takes Google Docs integration to the next level by passing the permissions within a Kona conversation, task or event to the Google Doc sharing permissions. It’s simple: create or select the Google Doc you want to share from your Kona conversation. When people get removed from a Kona conversation or space, they get removed from the Google Doc as well.

• Box Integration: Kona has been integrated with Box, providing enhanced file-sharing capabilities for users -- wherever their files may be located. Kona will also be expanding this integration with Box’s premium version for Kona Business.

• Dropbox Integration: Kona has also been integrated with Dropbox, providing enhanced file-sharing capabilities for users -- wherever their files may be located.

• Company Account Administration and Control: Kona Business provides companies with a domain-based administrative account. This allows organizations to own and manage their information in company- related Kona spaces, while still providing individuals with the ability to own personal spaces they create outside of the account.

• Templates: Kona Business provides the ability to create and access space templates for repeatable projects within the company. These templates are a way to document and later apply knowledge around successfully achieving a group objective inside a business.
