Why has collaboration been so difficult to do successfully? Unpopular with users Technology too complex Security concerns Cost Accessibility issues Tool meets only 80% of need Sits outside daily workflow Too internal
The market is fragmented High Cost / Complexity Low Cost / Complexity Enterprise Usage Personal / Ad-Hoc Uage
Propositions split into 2 types Collaboration Networks Productivity Tools Neither type 100% successful Traditional (even SaaS) tools don’t connect people. Too internally focussed. Networks are not secure enough, don’t enable productivity / work Market will demand “products that blend multiple capabilities” (Gartner)
