Project Management with OpenText Vibe

Characteristics of systematic project work

Modern project work requires specific competencies – and appropriate tools to foster successful project planning and control, as well as the (self-) control of project teams and the sharing of knowledge. In modern companies, many work processes take place in temporary and targeted projects. Project teams usually consist of experts from different departments – familiar corporate structures are broken up.

Systematic project management via online collaboration platforms such as OpenText Vibe enables effective project work in all phases of the project – from planning and initiation through implementation to results presentation. Freely configurable team workspaces, individual folder structures, shared project calendars and organized knowledge management (for example wikis, blogs, discussion forums) guarantee the possibility for a resource-saving and resource-saving project work.

Project archiving: Information generated in projects and built-in knowledge are retained after the project is completed and made available to new project employees, managers or project customers in one central location. Effective work – even in temporally and spatially separated project teams – is much easier to achieve.

Intranet Portals with OpenText Vibe

Intranet portals in companies – Charakteristics and goals

Corporate intranets serve as central information and communication portals

Here, relevant information, news, forms and documents are provided for all employees. Ideally, both the communication of these contents to the employees and the communication with each other should be dynamic and interactive.

Promotion of business information flow, supportof work processes and promotion of employee satisfaction

An intranet portal provides social software functionality (forums, chats, blogs, wikis), empowering employees with internal communication, knowledge sharing, and empathy. The interactivity of an intranet portal reflects a corporate culture that promotes self-directed and self-responsible teams and places value on having individual employees get involved.

The OpenText Vibe collaboration platform offers design options!

An intranet portal as an information, exchange and communication platform: here you can design the company-internal social network as the perfect mix for your environment. Using simple means, individual landing pages can be created using drag & drop, bundling the interest-oriented contents of the intranet and displaying them clearly.

 

 

Workflows: Process Optimization and -Automatisierung with OpenText Vibe

Increase of effectiveness and motivation in the optimization of work processes

Processes and workflows can often be rationalized into project teams or departments in companies. Such standardization promotes qualitatively improved, accelerated, as well as time- and cost-efficient work.

Measurable progress motivates!

Improving business processes also means increasing transparency and better predictability of steps and processes, the visibility of goals and subgoals, and the predictability of work input. Despite all standardization, there is still enough room for flexibility and adaptation to changes.

Represent and automate processes in workflows

Workflows always consist of a defined starting situation, an organized process and a defined end. Workflows support collaborative work by coordinating individual steps in the work process and, if necessary, by assigning them to specific people (groups). This structure enables the standardization of often repetitive work processes and the resulting time-consuming and cost-effective work while avoiding process losses.

Integrated worflow functions

OpenText Vibe offers the use of built-in workflow capabilities as well as easy use of workflow templates even for newbies in the field. If necessary, it is possible to edit existing workflows or to completely rebuild them without interrupting running processes. OpenText Vibe‘s easy and fast communication channels support workflows and effective teamwork.
