Ed brings two decades of experience in understanding, analyzing and explaining the impact of this technology on the enterprise.

Collaboration solutions have the power to improve a big part of our lives: the way we work. The time we spend just looking for the right expertise and information to do our jobs can add up.

Connect more people to more resources
Today's companies are implementing solutions that support more forms of collaboration such as instant messaging, social computing, and community-based tools to share content and expertise. Collaboration solutions help people work smarter and drive business benefits by deepening valuable relationships, making better decisions faster, spurring innovation, and reducing costs.
