A more advanced DeLiberation Extranet service includes a full set of navigational tools and a convenient graphical interface. Users typically don't have to install new software or learn new commands. With DeLiberation Extranet , stakeholders have both rapid access to information and time to reflect on the issues raised. This produces more effective arguments which lead to better decisions. Unlike a teleconference or online chat, participants do not need to be all logged on at once.
Conversations typically take place over days, weeks, or even months.
Participants receive all messages from other members of the discussion group, but don't have to bother saving or storing them. DeLiberation Extranet 's central storage site provides access to all previous contributions, as well as relevant background documents. For confidential discussions, this central storage can be password protected. Many other advanced features can be added at any time to meet the needs of the discussion group.
