THE SITUATION
The DOH agencies had acquired a large array of existing communications technologies both software and hardware which meant that many separate and dispersed teams that needed to easily work together were using disparate technologies that didn’t offer adequate integration, functionality, or security. An ex extensive amount of time and money was wasted trying to make these diverse systems work collectively.
Also, this line of work involves a regular exchange amongst team members in alternate locations in real time. The DOH needed a collaboration tool that was able to securely and immediately connect teams of people in different locations, allow them to share and annotate on critical information, and also work fr from practically any device – all at the click of a mouse.
The biggest challenges the DOH teams faced:
The teams are dispersed. Some work from the road, some work from the office, and some from home, each using different types of communication devices.
The teams need to know who is online and available in real time and then have the ability to connect instantly.
The teams need to securely display, annotate on, and directly exchange all types of content to team members in real time.
Since the DOH is made up of numerous agencies sveral problems were encountered while trying to integrate dispersed teams. The DOH teams had been relying on multiple, disparate collaboration tools any other than team mebers were using and whether or not a given combination of platforms and software could connect with, share, or display content and video with the other. This created a dysfunctional environment and had a negative impact on productivity and efficiency.
Moreover, the collaboration technologies the DOH used were incapable of fulfilling their requirements. The technology tools, such as WebEx, did not provide the functionality needed to work together beyond the conference room with remote teams, and did not provide essential functionality such as online contact status and annotation that can be securely recorded, saved and shared with all meeting participants in real time.
