Stay in the Loop
Problem: Users needing information must
continually seek it out; time consuming. Knowledge
is dropped on the floor and people are making
decisions without the right information
Need: A way to find appropriate information from
experts and communities and be made aware of
updates when they happen
Benefits: More agile, more effective, more
informed workforce. Achieve better results, faster

Problem: Traditional collaboration is slow, un-engaging, and
lacks a vehicle to request input from a large body of interested
parties. It’s hard to track progress and drive results
Need: A way to gather input and feedback into
a single, shared, real-time conversation
Benefits: Get immediate
feedback from the right people;
reach the best decisions faster

Work Together
Problem: It’s hard to get work done with partners because of
access challenges with collaboration tools. And, waiting for revision
cycles and merging is a productivity killer
Need: Need an easy way to collaborate with partners in a rich
―work together‖ environment without compromising security
Benefits: Faster, better
collaboration with the people
who matter, wherever they work
