Workspace.com: 3 Steps to Success

Projects are about people and teamwork. Tools should merely support the team and facilitate collaboration. Legacy tools, however, actually create data silos that make collaboration impossible. Teams cannot possibly stay synchronized when key project data is dispersed throughout disconnected project plans, text documents, spreadsheets, single-purpose tools, emails, instant messages, and meeting notes. So it's no surprise that according to the Standish Group, IT project success rates are dismal and have not shown meaningful improvement over the last 15 years.
While our individual apps compare favorably to stand-alone point solutions, we believe the solution to failed projects is not a better requirements tool, planning tool, test management tool, etc. What teams need and previous tools have impeded is effective collaboration, which means much more than just improved communication. Workspace.com structures all of your project's data and communication in a shared and secure database format that is searchable, filterable, reportable, traceable and contextual. Practically speaking, this means that every team member has access to the real-time data they need, managers have visibility throughout the entire project life cycle, and nobody ever has to ask whether they have the current version of a document.
