Collaboration is a vast arena and these days, we have dozens, even hundreds, collaborative species; beautiful, colorful, very capable. Some of the best examples are the beauty of Gotomeeting the power of Podio, and elegance of ShareFile. Of course, there are also many non-Citrix variants, social enterprise, and traditional technologies such as email, telephone and face to face meetings.
So this is a good thing, right?
Wrong.
I was forced into the Coliseum to battle with YAC (yet another collaboration system) simply too many times. These days, most of us are very aware of the cost of the effort, the concentration and time to bring more YAC. For me, I am limiting it to no more than one YAC a month. So I'm intrigued by a collaborative approach that gives the head of YAC fancy, but does not insist on the effort to learn to drive forward and prosper in a new collaboration.
Grexit is a Citrix Startup Accelerator business that adds collaborative capabilities essential to the good old email (comfortable) - in other words, they allow collaborative email. These are cool things. . Here are some of their thoughts on how to take an existing technology (email) and make just enough changes to let the existing behaviors to achieve so much more
- Sign : What if when I sent an email to a colleague about a project or client, it could be deposited automatically with a corresponding label or in a corresponding file. When I assign a task to someone, again gets filed under a folder called "My Tasks"
- A Cure for Clutter : Really, why should you DC 25 people on an email if you just want 3 of them to read it right away. Why do not you may file somewhere without cluttering inboxes of these 23 people, where they can find it later if they need it "
- Cross Inbox Discovery . what if I could go beyond my personal inbox to find relevant information for me
All these are part of their popular email collaboration technology. google apps. is this the future of collaboration? It may well be. anyway I like the idea of winning the war for collaboration without constant battles coliseum. Check Grexit for a new email collaborative approach.
