Research & Development
A Connected Solution from Connectbeam
By definition, R & D takes teams out of their comfort zone. They need knowledge, resources, skills and contextual understanding beyond what they possess. Sometimes, teams need knowledge they don't even know exists.
Here's a typical example:
- An engineer in Iowa plans a 4 month project to put a complicated testing procedure in place.
- But a colleague in Ireland did something similar earlier in the year.
- If the Iowa engineer discovers his Irish colleague's work, he may be able to set up the test in days instead of months.
- How does the engineer in Iowa learn about the engineer in Ireland?
With Connectbeam Social Search, the engineer navigates enterprise information to for key words (tags) related to his project. He finds information on the company intranet that his Irish colleague bookmarked and tagged in doing his project.
By clicking on Connectbeam's Live Profile for his colleague, he is immediately in touch with him. The enterprise has just made a significant savings in R & D, and our engineer is much more certain of a successful result.
Our two engineers, who didn't know each other before, are now part of a Connectbeam Social network, sharing information easily and automatically as they work. It's a big plus for their work and for the enterprise as a whole.
