Your Digital Transformation Hub: BroadVision

We are a group of communication and technology experts with a passion for revolutionizing business through collaboration.

In this new digital revolution, the winners will be organizations who can successfully transform the way people work across the extended enterprise ecosystem. Companies are looking for ways to streamline information and procedures to ensure they remain agile and competitive, to continually deliver the best service to their customers, both internally and externally.

One of the ways this is being achieved is by adopting a digital strategy within their communications, opening a myriad of options. Choices are in abundance when it comes to enterprise communication tools, and whilst some seem on the surface to be very appealing, they are not all cut from the same cloth: many of the popular solutions are simply transitional – they are adopted as part of an overall hardware strategy or they fit with current office suite. But, they don’t fundamentally change how communication is handled and that doesn’t lead to a change in how people work or how customers are looked after.

Instead there’s a need to go back to the root cause and deliver a transformational change instead. Transitional tools do not lead to real transformation, it is simply chasing the latest quick fix. A transformational change is about unifying information and communications into one single source, leading to less clutter, less fragmentation and ultimately delivering time and money savings. Companies around the world have trusted BroadVision with their communication, collaboration and e-business needs since 1993.

Flagship Product- Vmoso

Vmoso is a workplace collaboration and business engagement hub for empowering enterprise digital transformation. It unifies four important workplace concepts:

Communication and Collaboration

The fundamental basis for any digital transformation is improving the way we communicate and work together, both inside and outside the company. Inside the company, it is called “high value collaboration” – enabling employees to communicate quickly, exchange information, retain that information, and most importantly, find it again later, eliminating wasted time searching for information. Outside the company, it is called “high touch engagement” or “customer experience management” – giving customers, and business partners, a focal point for all their communication with the company.

Knowledge Management

Today’s conversations are tomorrow’s knowledge. Vmoso’s collaboration features have knowledge management built in, so everything you create now is retained and indexed for rapid access when you, or your co-workers, need it again. That knowledge becomes interwoven into a holistic web of information via links to users, activities, groups and specific content and documents. The web of knowledge is then easily and readily accessible by everyone, serendipitously.

Collaborative Process Management

Vmoso Collaborative Process Management brings structure and accountability to collaboration and brings an end to chaotic, email-based communication. Task assignments mean everyone knows what they need to do, when they need to do it; task assigners can see at a glance who’s completed their actions, and who’s the bottleneck in the process. But Vmoso never removes the flexibility to change the direction of a task if circumstances change. Collaboration and communication is built into every step of the process.

Enterprise Integration

The last thing any company needs right now is yet another standalone communication tool. The digital workplace needs to be integrated into legacy communication systems like email, and into the systems of record that power your business, your ERP, PLM, CRM systems. These often form the context and trigger for any collaboration going on around the company.

By bringing all the elements together – collaboration, corporate knowledge, the processes that define how the company works together and integrate these to the core systems, BroadVision believes that’s a perfect platform for all the other digital transformation projects an organization might do: building a foundation for everything else to be built on, rather than just trying to build on sand and never succeeding. The success or failure of any adoption depends on changing the way the people work and behave, so the company couples the product with an enterprise transformation methodology that is designed to help organizations make these changes.
