Urenio Watch Watch: Collaborative Innovation

Collaborative Technologies Conference

Posted on by Panagiotis Tsarchopoulos

The Collaborative Technologies Conference (CTC) has explored the breadth of collaborative solutions, including real-time and asynchronous technologies, from both strategic and tactical perspectives. CTC was focused on the tools and techniques that best leverage the technical, productive and social aspects of IT and workgroup environments to build a cohesive collaboration strategy and empower a connected workforce.

Collaborative technologies can help companies cut IT and telephony costs, increase productivity, reduce time-to-market, align workgroups and create a more streamlined, dynamic, agile organisation. CTC covered the full range of strategic collaboration tools including:

  • Wikis
  • Unified Messaging
  • Converged Network Infrastructure
  • Blogs
  • Decision Support Tools
  • Meeting Facilitation Software
  • Collaborative Content Management Systems
  • Portals
  • Social Software
  • Audio and Video Conferencing
  • Team Workspaces
  • Calendaring
  • Web Conferencing
  • Mobile Collaborative Applications Infrastructure
  • Instant Messaging
  • Communications Dashboards
  • VoIP

The conference took place at Boston, MA, 19-22 June 2006-08-30. CTC addressed the changes which forward-looking organisations face as they struggle to adopt and fully utilise the new wave of collaborative applications available today and those on the horizon.
