Notes also runs our firm's Web site. Almost any information we have that is worth keeping is somewhere in Notes. Putting it there means it is not lost. More than that, it means every particle of stored knowledge can be mated with other knowledge that is also stored and quickly retrieved to meld into our human thought process to push us to a higher level, a better idea, a quicker thought, an enhanced work product. Collaborative software is our central nervous system-coordination becomes subconscious and automatic.
Conventional wisdom suggests collaboration is for large organizations.
We think it is for everyone, perhaps moreso for the small organization than for the large organization which often can afford to be more inefficient, though at a cost. A small organization is forced to maximize resources. Without Notes, we would not be capable of building custom, mission-critical applications. The advantage of being small is the ability to instantly decide to go in certain directions-with Notes as our hidden partner.
