Imagine close of business today. Then imagine what your information workers – salespeople, product managers, and financial executives – have been able to accomplish. If you've imagined innovation and sound decision making, consider this. According to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute, a typical information worker spends:

• 40% of the day searching for relevant information
• 40% of the day coordinating resources
• Only 20% of the day on value-add activities

If your business depends on information worker productivity, you can't afford this type of process inefficiency. What you need are solutions that give employees easy access to their work, their way, through their environments of choice. Solutions that bring manageability to the ad-hoc online team collaboration processes that are the norm today.
