With Groove, Capital Investments moves beyond mere content to offer human interactivity, multimedia communication, data aggregation, and rich, contextualized activities. Groove enables Capital Investments to offer, in a single space, content, activity and experience that previously would have required multiple Web services. When Maria enters her Capital Investments space, she first checks her News tool for the latest headlines on upcoming IPOs, earnings announcements and industry analysis. Within this tool, she is able to subscribe to her favorite online information sources. Dave and Maria can also communicate with voice or text chat tools, making timely modifications to her portfolio while reviewing the latest news and information.
Text chat is also persistent, so there's always a record of written conversations.
In the Portfolio Planning tool, Dave and Maria have combined access to both structured and unstructured data in a single context, enhancing Capital Investments' ability to provide quick and effective advice. Maria's Portfolio Detail is pulled from a centralized database and Portfolio Watch manipulates and represents data using a reporting tool. Capital Investments has also chosen to offer a custom stock ticker to clients through Groove. With this information, they are able to make collaborative decisions regarding new or additional investments. Here, in real-time, they discuss diversification based on recent market fluctuations.
