Collaborative
Information Management 
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the current buzzword when talking about organizing unstructured information. This term covers the full life cycle of documents: from the creation through the review, administration and process-related publication, right through to long-term archiving that takes into account all stages of revision.
However, ahead of the fact that the efficiency of these processes must be constantly improved, there exists a core challenge: how can a company ensure that its employees have access to the correct information whenever they need it? Add to this the challenge of employees collaborating with colleagues, customers and partners independent of time and place, and you can see how the full potential of saved information can be tapped. Here are some typical challenges that can arise in these situations:
How can a company ensure that...
- its entire sales force is working with the most up-to-date product and pricing information?
- only information that has passed through an accepted review process is published?
- information in the content management system is assigned the appropriate attributes?
- geographically distributed project teams can work together as effectively as if they were sitting in the same room without incurring huge travel costs?
- employees are automatically informed about newly updated information and information that is particularly relevant to them and their work?
- information is easily accessible to non-experts?
- experts on a particular subject can be easily identified in the system and contacted using chat, audio and video channels, allowing specific knowledge to be immediately available to all employees in the company?
- relevant information on different systems can be accessed over a single user interface?
The Hyperwave Collaborative Information Management Platform (CIM) provides the answer to all the above questions. A complete ECM platform with the addition of two important elements: learning and collaboration, both elements modularly built yet completely integrated into the system. The result is that all employees have easy and immediate access to all the information they require for their daily work, as well as being able to collaborate with their colleagues directly over the system.
In this way, our customers quickly achieve their individual solutions for getting up-to-date information to the right person at the right time, both within the company and between customers or partners. The Hyperwave solution can be integrated seamlessly into the users' existing working environment, reducing the time and effort of implementing the system.
