Delivering a collaborative workplace for information sharing, communication and scheduling
Collaborating towards accelerated productivity
Growing companies often find it difficult to centralize all
corporate communications and fit all employees into one
corporate agenda. In day-to-day operations each
employee engages in a host of collaborative activities
(e-mail, agenda, appointment schedules) with customers
and others. Instant availability of relevant corporate
information and consistent relationship management by
means of integrated electronic communications aimed at
target audience guarantee maximum process integration,
service quality and accessibility.
Faced with the demand to facilitate such capabilities,
many ERP systems turn to groupware solutions. CANIAS
ERP Collaborator module provides pioneering tools with
tightly integrated features: summary screen, e-mail client,
task manager, agenda, address book and instant
messaging.
Collaborative Workplace: The personal control center
The CANIAS ERP Collaborative Workplace can be
customized according to user requirements and organized
as a launch pad for daily tasks and activities. In addition
to the access to ERP functionality, the summary screen
provides groupware features and can be configured to
display all critical information and data, either from the
Internet (e.g. forex and stock exchange rates, weather
reports), external software or from the CANIAS ERP
system itself (e.g. corporate financial data and
reports).
E-mail client: integrated cmmunication
The integrated e-mail client provides advanced features
such as associating e-mail messages with customers,
suppliers and other entities, either automatically or
manually, based on specified criteria. The Collaborator
module also archives e-mails which can then be tracked
by the CRM module on a per-customer basis. E-mails can
also be linked to processes, projects and documents.
Agenda : Time management under control
The Agenda feature of the Collaborator module enables
users to schedule appointments and plan activities in
advance. It displays each user's individual calendar, as
well as an overview of all user activities in the company.
Users may interactively navigate through their calendars,
and calendar entries can be moved or allocated to other users by means of drag and drop functionality. The
displays indicate start and end dates, as well as details of
the activity in question. All activities may be associated
with e-mail addresses, employees or other organizational
resources, such as meeting rooms, projection devices, or
transportation pool vehicles.
