Business understands the need for social collaboration software, not because it’s trendy but because it is an efficient way to connect people with each other and to make people collaborate. Inside a company or a business ecosystem, tools for social collaboration can provide the right mix between the social and the ‘functional organic.’
Implementing a global tool inside a company or an ecosystem is never easy; it tends to break a lot of rules especially if the company is organized vertically. Further opening such tools to collaborate with customers and partners presents even greater challenges. Sogeti can help you use a virtual private cloud and/or a public cloud to make turn this nightmare of complexity into a smooth and standardized reality!
Collaboration Tools as a Service
Cost reduction and increased flex-ibility in tool usage are two key reasons why our clients are interested in Sogeti’s Collaboration Tools as a Service (CTaaS) solution. As such, customers can spend more time and capital on the adoption phase, the most critical part for a social collaborative platform.
Using a CTaaS platform allows our clients to open their social collaborative platform to the outside world, without taking any security risks. With additional services, this platform can also be synchronized both ways with a local platform, allowing you to control data that is published for external participants while supervising data they input.
Like all cloud platforms, maintenance and administration is no longer an issue for customers Sogeti takes care of the backend. Yet another way to increase cost saving, and invest in added value services.
CTaaS benefits for projects great and small
- Less costly, on-demand pricing model for using tools plays a key role in reducing the cost of license ownership and increasing platform flexibility.
- Sogeti takes care of maintenance knowledge and technology which lowers costs and can free up capi-tal for additional areas of innovation.
- By setting and respecting security policies, the platform can be opened to outside actors.
- Proven hands-on experience that can mitigate common risks asso-ciated with implementing new software tools in a cloud environment.
- One stop shop for the client; only one invoice will be presented.
