In the new world of work, the focus is on the work, not the where. Individuals come together to solve problems, develop plans, and embrace opportunities. But coming together no longer requires or even implies that individuals are sitting in the same room or even in the same country.
Three areas BMS and Microsoft facilitate communication and collaboration are:
Delivering unified communications.
In the new world of work, communications that once were separate become unified. People control their
communications instead of being controlled by them. Communications such as e-mail, instant messaging,
and Web conferencing are available to people in the context of the work they are doing.
Empowering teams with collaborative workspaces.
In the new world of work, teams can easily collaborate by using workspaces that match when, how, and
where they are working. These workspaces can be large and relatively centralized—supporting entire
divisions of business units; they can be small and decentralized, supporting ad-hoc workgroups that need a way to work together now.
Connecting people, process, and information.
In the new world of work, people can quickly find, connect, and interact with the right people, business
processes, and enterprise information and data that they need to get their job done. Creating and
customizing personal portals that give people a personalized view of their organization’s enterprise
information is made easy.
