Liferay Social Office is a social collaboration solution for the enterprise. This full virtual workspace streamlines communication, saves time, builds group cohesion and raises productivity. All you have to do is log in and work the way you want to, at your convenience.
In today's workplace, new tools and technology are oftentimes introduced with the hope that their adoption will yield new heights of productivity and collaboration. Unfortunately, while many tools are impressive in and of themselves, without the proper structure driving their usage, they are unable to deliver on the far-reaching and comprehensive impact on an organization that is usually desired.
With this in mind, Liferay created Social Office®, a dynamic team workspace solution that provides holistic enhancement to the way you and your colleagues work together. Unlike conventional collaboration products, Social Office does more than just enhance communication with new tools. Rather, by adapting today's most innovative social technologies to the unique needs of productivity and goal-driven enterprise teams, it enables an important shift in how and why communication happens.
Traditional team communication happens when one team member reaches out to another to follow-up, touch base, synch up or just get on the same page. While this is necessary, valuable time is lost to “catching up” over email, phone or IMs. Furthermore, the context in which a team member initiates these conversations is limited to their own experience, workflow, needs, and goals.
Social Office remedies the limitations of traditional communication by providing an unbroken visibility of team activity so that each person's correspondence and relationships happen in the context of a shared collaborative effort. Not only does this cut down on the time needed for "synching up" and make time for more meaningful conversation, it shifts each person's focus from his or her own tasks to how these tasks fit into the bigger picture objectives of the team as a whole.
Work on documents right from within Social Office or open and save them from Microsoft Office®. Social Office takes care of version control and check-in/check-out. Users can add comments, ratings, and tags.
Integrated chat lets you discuss ideas while viewing assets online, and related content shows you relevant information and people in your organization. Meanwhile, the activity tracker keeps you up to date on team progress.
Assign tasks, create meetings, and share knowledge using built-in calendaring, task management, wikis, blogs, and more. Social Office brings collaboration into your daily routine without requiring extra steps.
Only by allowing everyone on your team to work in the right context can you begin to appropriately optimize its use of available tools. With members working in the context of a team, Liferay Social Office provides access to state of the art document sharing, knowledge sharing, and collaboration tools, all seamlessly integrated, to provide new advancements to they way you work.
