Collaboration

Collaboration is the process where two or more people/organizations work together to achieve a common goal. Collaborating allows groups with limited resources to work more effectively together, but depends upon a structured approach which is facilitated by clear communication methods and transparency of activities. Teams which collaborate more effectively often achieve greater results.

Online collaboration tools in Glasscubes

Understanding these simple principles, we at Glasscubes have brought together a collection of online collaboration tools which facilitate better team working and improved communication. We don't aim to replace email or existing methods of collaborating; by using our online collaboration tools we simply enable users to improve how they work together.

Some of our online collaboration tools

• Secure workspaces - Cubes are our name for workspaces where you have control over who you invite in. You can share any type of document, along with your Cube calendar and tasks - all in one secure online place.
• Document and file sharing - online collaboration often requires large files to be worked on, which causes problems when sharing over email. Our document management tools allow you to share a link to a document where the recipient can preview, comment, download and upload.
• Version control - if you are collaborating online, version control is one of the features which makes it so much simpler. It allows everybody to work from the latest version of a document and avoids having multiple versions scattered across multiple computers and email addresses, keep them stored in one place - and always keep the latest version available.
• Commenting - Collaboration requires multiple people's input, using Glasscubes everyone can comment on everything and send notifications at any stage to make sure nobody misses the important announcements.
• Conference calls - as standard in every package, each member is set up with their own unique conference call number which allows them to easily organise conference calls, regardless of the telephone system or location. Just dial in.
• Dashboards - in each Cube there is a dashboard which allows you to make announcements as well as see the latest activity in a snapshot. If you have multiple Cubes, you have your own personal dashboard too which means you can see an overview of everything that's happened in your account.
• Calendars - organise meetings, events and conference calls in your calendars. No project could be completed without actually getting together, so calendars allow you to keep track of all deadlines, meetings and conference calls.
• Create tasks - Tasks and milestones are crucial elements of collaboration and ensuring people are doing what is needed and by the time it is required. Knowing what needs to be completed, by whom and when helps clarify and ensure that you can follow up easily on actions. Glasscubes allows you to create, assign and track tasks in your Cubes.
• Online contact management - Connect is our simple CRM or contact management tool. It allows you to add and manage your contacts to help with your sales process. You can track leads or customer issues outside of your projects and make sure you don't miss anything which could cost your business. You can even assign opportunities and leads to other members of your account and ensure no sale is missed.
