This gives those tasked with business process a new means to craft workflow and build coordinated processes around an holistic service. This is the natural next best step to fostering collaboration in a distributed, increasingly outsourced Internet architecture. This aspect became immediately clear in our testing of the solution, as indicated by the breadth of browser-based functionality and way with which existing work habits are accommodated. The added value is that we'll be able to use our traditional software programs such as Microsoft Office within an X-Community Business Center and interact with our clients who use the same applications. It also means there is no need to hire or train an entire MIS staff or develop a complicated infrastructure to make it work seamlessly.
