Collaboration Evolution

Technology Today: Client Side


Web

• Real-time

messages

• CanJS

• Jquery

• SASS/CSS

• Dynamic, real-time user interface makes

Collaboration more engaging for users

• No plugins or downloads required and supports

all major browsers. This makes engaging with

people inside and outside the company easy.

• Javascript libraries used are not as performant as

newer libraries.

Mobile (Collaboration

Widget)

• Angular

Javascript

library

• Runs in

browser

• No requirement for store downloads.

• No app to keep up to date.

• Conversation focused UI.

• Shared codebase for mobile and embedded

access (e.g. from within Vantagepoint).

» Document Focused Users

Listening to Users


What we learned from Users


» Companies that go ALL IN are the most successful because collaboration becomes part of the culture.

» IT has found success in creating spaces for hyper-sensitive issues where an ad-hoc team space is created on the fly to bring together the right people to solve issues. User groups are also popular where the community helps itself often eliminating the need for IT to solve the same issue repeatedly.

» Accounting departments like using a Collaboration space to connect multiple offices to coordinate month end close and financial reporting.

» Companies want collaboration seamlessly integrated across all Deltek solutions.

Where We can Improve


» Teams need tighter control around who can edit & delete documents.

» Users demand a consistent experience regardless where and how they are collaborating.

» Users want to share, discuss and make revisions to project documents and be sure there is a single version of the truth.

» Users want what they need most to be productive at their fingertips.

» Users want a similar look, feel and experience across all their Deltek products.

Introducing Managed Project Spaces» How do you ensure everyone on the project team is working

off of the same document revision?

» How do you compare a prior revision’s comments to the

current document today?

» How do you control who can replace documents today?

» Projects have sub-teams

» File Folders need permissions

» Reviewer, Contributor, Manager, Owner

» Documents can have many revisions

» Comments can be specific to a revision

» Many team’s project documents are in PIM

» Upload once, share and collaborate
