Portals & Collaborative Applications
In the modern culture of American business, management hierarchies have given way to informal relationships, cross-functional teams, and influencers.  The new generation of employees, the “digital natives”, uses rich communication and collaboration tools every day in their personal lives, has grown up always having these tools available, and expects it to be available at work as well.  New technology makes ad-hoc, instant, pervasive communication and collaboration possible across the most complicated political and geographic structures within the constructs and needs of the enterprise.  Adoption of these tools raises the collective intelligence of the organization, facilitates knowledge sharing, and reduces the time and costs of working in teams.
 
Statera builds a full set of collaboration solutions for our clients, such as:
  • Corporate intranets and portals to facilitate B2E (business to employee) communication and employee self-service for corporate functions such as Human Resources (HR)
