Intranets and Collaborative Portals for OPOs

The Collaboration Challenge

OPOs use multiple tools to communicate with employees and collaborate with external partners today—e-mail, phone, Web conferencing, portals, and specialized point collaboration applications. Switching frequently between these tools, learning and remembering how to use them can be frustrating and unproductive for end users, often obstructing the very collaboration they are meant to facilitate. Deploying, upgrading, maintaining, and securing the diverse tools is time consuming and costly for IT staff, who also have to worry about managing and protecting sensitive information and providing resource-efficient ways to share documents. Individuals need to be able to easily create and manage their own collaboration spaces, and teams need to be able to archive and access information as projects complete and teams move onto other work.

The solution

Based on OPOs overwhelming feedback for the need of an affordable, easy-to-use SharePoint Intranet Portal, Tii is proud to announce OPOConnects ^(sm). OPOs now have a turn-key solution to present information from disparate sources via a common user interface that also provides for secure communications with external partners as well as addressing government mandated privacy and security concerns.

OPOConnects ^(sm) provides a role-based single point of access to documents, software, services, and information that increase efficiency, improve decision making, and increase operational effectiveness. OPOConnects ^(sm) can be deployed by the OPO and customized for the user, team, department or institution. OPOConnects ^(sm) can connect geographically dispersed personnel so that they can easily communicate and collaborate on specific projects regardless of their location or OPO affiliation.

Services

Based on client requirements Tii portal development specialists handle the design, project management, customization, system integration, testing, support and user training; all resulting in significant savings for you in terms of time and costs that the OPO would otherwise have to incur with in-house development. And because OPOConnects ^(sm) is developed and hosted at Tii, your IT department is relieved of the burden of maintaining the entire collaborative environment.
