Project planning and execution
Effective
project management is absolutely essential if a project is to prove
successful. 5 POINT AG use the teamspace project management modules
"Tasks" and "Time Sheets" for its software development projects.
teamspace
ensures that projects can be divided into phases and then further
subdivided into clear-cut work packages. Within each work package, the
facilitator is able to apply data including expenditure, co-workers,
times and priorities. This solution ensures that project members can be
made aware of everything happening within the team. They can look up
the current status, fill in their working hours and outline the
progress made to date on the project. The system can also be used for
the exchange of files.
Home office connectionOne
of the trends of the twenty-first century corporate world is working
from home. Aware of this trend and that the home worker or partner
needs access to calendars, important files and addresses, teamspace has
designed the most suitable technological assistance.
For companies that want to make data available to co-workers operating
from home, teamspace offers the possibility of transferring the office
organization onto the Internet. Which means that you can access your
data from all around the world.
Preparation and re-working of seminars
The efficient preparation and re-working of training seminars
contributes significantly to the quality of the training measures.
Often training course delegates might not be at the same location and
putting them in the same location would have negative cost and time
implications.
The BMW Group in Munich supports their
training measures with teamspace. Each training group has its own
virtual room on the Internet. These virtual learning rooms offer
participants the unique opportunity of exchanging documents, solving
problems, discussing dates or plans and accomplishing project work.
Such a solution ensures the immediate improvement of the knowledge
transfer of the training measures.
Control of external service providers
Effective
co-operation with external service providers is essential for business
relationships to function well. Whilst external assignments deliver
advantages, they also require considerable planning and control.
With
teamspace, you will be able to plan your tasks and the necessary times
and budgets can be recorded on a decentralized basis by your respective
co-workers. This will provide you with clear data regarding when a task
was completed and the cost of that task. All data can be maintained on
an up-to-date basis, regardless of whether the external co-worker works
from home or at your company.
Coordination of field representatives
It
goes without saying that field representatives have to travel on a
frequent basis. Furthermore, data access is a critical concept for
mobile co-workers. By choosing teamspace, you will find that all dates,
activities and customer data can be stored in one place and thus we
guarantee you a problem free and highly efficient co-
operation between other mobile colleagues and your company.
Networks and virtual enterprises
Working
effectively in networks or virtual enterprises requires precise task
sharing and coordination. This will allow you to maximize the output
and minimize the input and to control expenditure for the individual
members as well as obtain synergies at the same time. The teamspace
solution means that networks and virtual enterprises of all sizes can
coordinate all of their activities in the most professional and
effective manner. Furthermore, they can exchange information and
discuss new ideas by using our unique discussion and creativity
features.
NPOs
In
many NPOs (non-profit organizations), members require efficient virtual
communication with one another. Members should not only be able to have
discussions within a protected scope but also have the possibility of
contacting one another on an individual basis.
Notwithstanding
the exceptional internal communication functions, teamspace also allows
NPOs to administer resources and dates professionally. Each individual
member can enter profiles detailing anything from their personal
strengths to their hobbies and can then manage their addresses
themselves, which means the information is always up to date.
Release management
Product
managers plan and administer revisions to their product line in
"releases", in order to introduce new innovations at fixed dates.
teamspace is able to support this procedure in a highly professional
way.
Our project management modules will ensure that you
can carry out a complete release administration. Furthermore, your
co-workers can enter any improvement suggestions at any time, meaning
the perfect vehicle is created for "bouncing ideas". Our solution
allows all suggestions to then be evaluated and prioritized.
Furthermore,
co-workers and task leaders can be assigned and all assigned workers
are able to update the progress of the respective work package
themselves. Therefore, all resources can be used highly effectively.
Connection of mobile employees
Imagine
the scenario – a co-worker is visiting a customer and needs an
important file right at that very moment. One day later, another
colleague visits the same customer and would like to know exactly what
the first colleague did the previous day.
With teamspace,
you can coordinate your mobile co-workers and exchange data at any time
and from any location. Through the outstanding activity logging system,
everybody knows who did what and when
Support of work groups
Many
organizations are divided regionally or topic-referred into smaller
groups which work on certain tasks. These working groups are frequently
scattered geographically and need central planning and information.
With
teamspace work groups can be supported efficiently during the execution
of their activities. The system offers communication, data exchange and
scheduling platforms. All administrative works can be done easily, too.
Connection of customers and suppliers
You
cooperate with customers or suppliers and have to exchange files and
coordinate dates regularly? For secutity reasons you don't want to open
your Intranet to suppliers or customers?
teamspace offers
you the platform for effective cooperation with customers and suppliers
without changing the security standards of your own Intranet.
Coordination of software development
Software
development is a complex iterative process in which many persons are
involved. Requirements must be collected and then transferred into
functions. During the development, dependencies regarding many
different factors must be taken into consideration. Errors arising
during tests must be documented and fixed immediately.
With teamspace you can plan complex software projects and realize these projects in heterogeneous groups all over the world.
