GroupDrive Collaboration Suite GroupDrive is a business-class file and document collaboration product. Businesses can use GroupDrive to securely collaborate over the Internet without the inherent problems of emailing attachments. Because your files are stored in a central location, users always have the most current version of a document. The GroupDrive Server provides secure file storage and backup for your important business files and documents. With easy file sharing and real-time document collaboration, GroupDrive gives your team a secure private business network that lets you work at the speed of business. The GroupDrive Collaboration Suite consists of 3 components: GroupDrive Server - a secure WebDAV server for storing and collaborating on files. GroupDrive uses WebDAV over SSL.

GroupDrive Web Interface - A simple and intuitive interface that allows users to store and collaborate on documents from any machine with a web browser and Internet access.

In this blog I've often talked about why enterprise wide tagging with context is important. Here is some data from participants who attended a recent Scientific Computing webinar. Click upon the thumbnail to see the survey results. An intelligent tagging solution which includes the ability to create a tag, while saving those tags as favorites in a category list ... subscribable by other users via RSS ... is part of the solution.

The result is an egregious lack of productivity that may cost the U.S. economy $588 billion a year, according to a report by Basex, which has tabbed information overload as the "Problem of the Year" for 2008.

With e-mail as the biggest offender, Basex said users can save time by not e-mailing someone, and then following up with a phone call or an instant message two seconds later

Basex also said users must not combine multiple topics or requests in a single e-mail; make sure the subject clearly reflects the topic and urgency of the message; read their e-mails before sending to make sure they make sense; and will not hit reply-all unless necessary or reply with one-word e-mails such as "thanks.

Personal Value Precedes Network Value The one major idea behind the Del.icio.us Lesson is that personal value precedes network value. What this means is that if we are to build networks of value, then each person on the network needs to find value for themselves before they can contribute value to the network. In the case of Del.icio.us, people find value saving their personal bookmarks first and foremost.

However, Del.icio.us tags aren’t like meta keyword tags because of the Del.icio.us Lesson. Meta keyword tags provide no personal value whatsoever. All of their value is social. They’re for aggregation engines to find and tell other people about. In other words, they’re for getting attention only. Del.icio.us tags, on the other hand, provide personal value each time someone uses them to recall a bookmark.

Nearly 30% of survey respondents (19 of 66) said their organization recouped their investment in immersive technologies in less than nine months, once their project(s) launched.

The top motivations for investment in immersive technology in 2008 /1Q 2009 were enabling people in disparate locations to spend time together, increased innovation, and cost savings or avoidance.

Early implementers are choosing the simplest use cases first. The most common were learning and training (80%, or 53 of 66 respondents focused on this use case) and meetings (76%, or 50 of 66 respondents). Some intend to take on more complex use cases in 2010 or 2011.
