Collaboration Software: Collaborative solutions enable enterprises to do more with less

http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/?cm_mmc=agus_iteplotv-20090615-usitp300-_-n... Bob McCandless of Alphalogix uses collaboration software to gather and transfer real-time information from the field to the office, so his company can work smarter together -- ultimately maximizing utilization driving profits.

Bob McCandless, Alphalogix:
"Well, I think a lot of our customers are trying to do more with less this year. They're trying to figure out how to leverage people and processes and resources without increasing costs. And trying to find new ways to maximize profits through collaboration and innovation. For a small construction company in California we built a collaborative solution that allowed the folks out in the field, using a tablet-based PC, to input real-time information that tracks all of their construction equipment and their fuel and supplies and maintenance they're doing on their equipment. And that information can be routed in real time and coordinated with the scheduling folks that are back in the home office, allowing them to really maximize their utilization of their resources and equipment in order to maximize profits for their company."
