MEDIA ADVISORY
harmon.ie Showcases Social Email-Based Information Workplace
at
Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2011
What
Experts from social email software provider harmon.ie and Forrester Research Principal
Analyst will present the benefits of the ‘social-email based information workplace’.
Hundreds of smart organizations like American Water, Amway, Continental Corporation,
Swiss Air and BearingPoint, Inc. already promote collaboration by "Bringing SharePoint® into Outlook®
and Lotus Notes®." A social email-based information workplace
aggregates collaboration and unified communication (UC) tools into a single window,
creating a single business context. This allows people to complete their daily business
tasks without the need to toggle between multiple applications and boosts productivity.
Why
Enterprises report a significant underutilization of collaboration software, according
to Forrester Research, Inc., with 64% of surveyed businesses receiving few benefits,
if any, from their investments1.
Who
Rob Koplowitz, Forrester Research, Inc. VP and Principal Analyst
"…two-thirds of knowledge workers use six or more productivity-related applications weekly. Some use as many as 14 apps weekly. And almost one-half report spending more than four hours a week just looking for information they need to get their work done. 2"
Yaacov Cohen, harmon.ie Co-Founder and CEO
"Enterprises recognize that the way we work today hampers efficient document authoring and editing, and therefore affects overall business agility. Rather than wasting time toggling windows and application hopping, business users need the ability to check the status of document drafts, initiate phone calls, and chat with the people they’re collaborating with, all from a single window. In our session, we will illustrate how to bring these disparate processes into a central email-based information workplace."
