Online collaboration software
Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales lists five essential items for an online collaboration tool and here at Huddle we address all five of them.
Mechanisms in place
Our mechanisms for collaboration software are extensive. We’re aware that when you’re working with lots of different people on numerous projects, you require a large amount of storage for files and project content. To help ensure the smooth running of your collaboration software, we also give you the ability to add unlimited users to your workspace as and when you need to. Other essential tools for collaboration include: Whiteboards, calendars and free online MS Word and Excel, not to mention critical support via email, phone or online.
Speed is incredibly important
We know that time is important to you and hours can be wasted searching through your inbox for attachments and relevant information on a project or chasing colleagues by phone. Therefore, we’ve made sure that our collaboration software makes it easy and quick for you to search for files by name, type, author or date.
With Huddle, You can make changes to your files online and you can add tasks and reminders directly to your calendar.
Online Identity is important
Knowing who you are working with and who has the required expertise for a project is extremely important when it comes to collaboration software. With our collaboration software you can view where team members are based, their area of expertise and even see a picture.
Our collaboration software allows users to have control over who may join, can post and work in your workspace. You can track reviews, approvals and progress as well as post and view comments. We allow you to set user privileges and follow audit trails. We also guarantee SSL security.
Requires shared vision
You need a shared vision and common goal to be successful with online collaboration tools. When lots of people are working on one project, it can be easy to lose track of who is doing what, what has been completed and what still needs to be actioned. Huddle gives you access to whiteboards to brainstorm ideas, workspaces that allow you to add as many people as you wish and alerts via email and RSS when changes occur.
A flat structure
The fewer levels of reporting there are the more likely your collaboration project will succeed. With Huddle you can choose the best people for the job, regardless of location. The dashboard allows you to see all your workspaces in one place, regardless of who set them up. You can also customize and brand dashboards and individual workspaces.
