While conversation is still encouraged, ideas are captured on-line and 'sent' to a common team space, where they can be reviewed, analyzed and further deconstructed. Not only can everybody participate simultaneously, but the act of contributing ideas to a central space results in the inspiration for further ideas, resulting in more creative and effective meeting outcomes. Because everything is captured, meetings are self-documenting. Participants can walk out of the meeting with the full results of exactly what was said during the session, instantly. But everyone who participates in a meeting using groupware technology is amazed by not just the speed but also the quality of the results.
Groupware meetings have no parallel.
Grouputer offers a number of key advantages to organizations looking to improve the creativity, productivity and effectiveness of their meetings. Unlike other groupware technologies available today, which require complex computer networks and dedicated decision support rooms, the Grouputer system runs off a single computer and allows up to 12 people to participate concurrently. In less than 15 minutes, a meeting room, conference room or office can be turned into a powerful meeting environment. We are incredibly excited by this relationship with Grouputer, and what it offers to companies in North America. To date, the installed base has predominantly been in the Australian marketplace, with the product having been deployed in numerous corporations, consulting firms, government agencies and educational institutions.
