Teamwork with partners and customers makes companies stronger

Whether products or services: new developments are usually the result of teamwork. When companies intensify their in-house teamwork through Web 2.0 tools such as wikis or blogs, external partners are also increasingly involved.

Cross-company collaboration has become so commonplace in many industry sectors that it's difficult to imagine a world without it. Car manufacturers collaborate with their suppliers and banks are teaming up with insurance companies. Customers also play a part, for example, by helping to enhance applications. All these parties have to network their communication and work processes closely.

To guarantee participants' access to the information they require for their work, workstations can be tailored to each person's role-specific tasks.
