Collaborative Project and Resource Management

Globalization leads companies to accomplish product design and development through Real-Time Collaboration (RTC), both within a country and across national boundaries.

RTC is shown to differ considerably across technologies. For products that involve advanced engineering processes and technology, collaboration entails with cross-functional groups going through a complex business process, managing a distributive project, and meeting stringent international standards.

EGI's Collabris is a cloud-computing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) RTC platform solution. It enables a distributive workforce to collaborate on an evolving business process to complete a project goal. Unlike a generic RTC solution, which provides general file sharing, and work-task coordination, Collabris has a knowledgebase to allow enterprise users to visualize and easily re-deploy domain-specific processes that comply with industry-standards such as ISO 9000.

Enables Cross-border Technology Transfer and Business Process Outsourcing

With our patented technology in enterprise modeling, multiple companies and functional teams can participate securely in relevant segments of a very large and distributed project. It also facilitates business process outsourcing with an environment for technology transfer and delivering process consulting. Companies using Collabris enjoy fast bootstrapping of their product development cycle and ensure meeting high quality standards. The results are shorter time-to-market, higher team productivity and lower project risks.

Most Efficient Resource Management

By modeling and retaining the "know-how's" of the product release cycle, EGI Collabris enables your employees to leverage their skills and work together as one team in managing complex and simultaneous projects. It allows managers to focus on the high cost, high risk areas rather than simply going through a checklist throughout the project lifecycle. Collabris creates a powerful collaborative environment that makes it easy for your people to stay focused on the right tasks and easy for managers to identify, track and solve problems. Team members and project participants work together with a customized, up-to-the-minute list of detailed assignments. Members have the option to record time spent on projects and time remaining to complete their tasks. The system, rather than people, will alert project managers on potential issues and communicate new requirements. With simple views tailored for them, team leaders can quickly initiate new projects by using established best practices, defined deliverables and planned timelines. The project dashboard notifies the project team leader of critical activities, milestones and pending activities that are coming due.

EGI Collabris is designed specifically for scalability. The web-based application enables a small team or a large organization to work together on critical product release and other project activities, whether they are working locally or in remote facilities. Collabris simplifies interactions and document exchange among people, groups and machines. It facilitates collaboration and provides maximum visibility into the hundreds or even thousands of activities that go into releasing a product to market.

A Unique Solution for a Unique Need

Companies manage products, services and processes using their own methods as a way to gaining a competitive advantage. To maximize efficiency in the various projects, a cookie-cutter approach for providing a collaborative solution will not work. EGI Collabris uses a patented modeling technology called Object Modeling and Management (OMM) that supports customization of the online solution based on the unique way that each company performs its goals. Process tasks and responsibilities are assigned based on flexibly defined roles. Team members within the company and outside parties are allowed to access only the information and documents that are authorized to them.

EGI Collabris Enables You to Compete Successfully in a Rapidly Changing Market

EGI Collabris is the most cost effective and strategic solution for your company to continually improve project performance in a rapidly changing market. Organized in an intuitive manner, it supports multiple products simultaneously. Each project may include a multitude of tasks consisting of hundreds and thousands of sub-tasks with designated owners and several project leads. In this highly competitive market, best financial returns are likely to fall onto the companies that can meet their project deadlines smoothly and efficiently. EGI Collabris creates a sustainable competitive advantage for your company based on the unique ways you manage projects to accomplish business objectives.
