FORMICARY COLLABORATION GROUP


Your teams. Your information. Your way.

MindLink Social Collaboration Platform

Enterprise Social Collaboration, when implemented correctly, can achieve tremendous benefits such as better collaboration, increased productivity and efficiency, greater innovation and idea-sharing.  

 

However, success depends on a comprehensive strategy that focuses on specific success factors, involves both business and IT decision makers, leverages existing infrastructure, and integrates with existing workflows.

 

MindLink provides topic based information and communication streams overlaid with social features. Users can subscribe to specific topic streams that are relevant to their job functions and are integrated with existing business workflows, processes and systems. Multiple levels of categorisation and prioritisation allow users to focus on what is most relevant. 

 

MindLink lets users share their presence and status with coworkers reducing the number of missed calls and needless emails. Users can seamlessly switch between persistent topic based streams and 1-to-1 IM conversations. Persistent streams allow users to catch up on or go back to past conversations.

 

 

MindLink leverages functionality of Lync Group Chat 2010 (or OCS 2007 R2 Group Chat) – so you don’t have to invest in yet another communication tool. Make the most of your Microsoft investment whether your organisation already uses Group Chat or not.

The MindLink Platform consists of:

 

  • MindLink Anywhere
    Browser based access to MindLink from any device. LiveStream lets users stay up to date with all events across their subscribed streams, while they can stay on top of the most critical projects by arranging multiple streams on a single interface. enabled design enables access from tablet devices including Apple iPad and BlackBerry Playbook.
