Seamless inter-company collaboration with partners and suppliers accelerates your speed to market
As the buyer landscape and customer preferences change rapidly, you need to work closely with your partners and suppliers to respond to changing market realities. It is important therefore that partners and suppliers assume greater ownership and participate meaningfully in the decisions that impact your business processes and go-to-market strategies. Inter-company collaboration is vital for your company as well as partners and suppliers.
Qontext Inter-company Collaboration can be useful in a range of situations including:
- Outsourced software development or manufacturing
- Professional services delivery
- Consortium-led project delivery
- Long-term or on-going engagements with companies (such as ad agencies, design houses, public relations firms or investment advisories)
Many companies create customer engagement communities and partner portals to disseminate information and gather feedback. However, inter-company collaboration is about day-to-day interactions, improving communication, and resolving issues, delays, and dependencies before they occur, when people from two or more independently functioning companies work together.
Qontext Inter-company Collaboration enables:
- Geographically distributed inter-company teams to collaborate seamlessly over a secure and private community and foster trust (by reducing communication gaps)
- New entrants to an inter-company collaboration team to quickly onboard themselves (self-service) faster
- Companies having different security policies and infrastructure to share/access resources on intranets or internal document/content repositories
How it works
Qontext Inter-Company Collaboration (external) complements Qontext Workplace Collaboration (internal) and addresses all your critical needs such as security, isolation, and ease of use:
- Company employees who are members of both internal and external communities can first collaborate internally while creating content and then post the content to the external collaboration community to trigger subsequent actions.
- Select content such as Project Requirements could be shared back into the internal community group or people when required.
- Your partners do not need Qontext to collaborate with you on Qontext Inter-company Collaboration.
