Social Media and Collaboration

Fascinating to hear some of the presenters talking about collaboration in relation to Social Media at the National B2B Centre "Success with Social Media" presentation yesterday.

Collaboration seems to get subsumed as a topic into other technological advances on a regular basis. This time our perspective is that Social Media may be a good vehicle to bring collaboration into the spotlight for small and medium sized business.

It is true that Social Networking sites such as LinkedIn provide an introduction service to allow interested parties to identify each other and go through the preliminary introduction. Tools such as Ning can provide more sophisticated platforms to share ideas and communicate.

What they lack are the hands-on tools to do real work (especially in an SME and B2B context) so we are delighted that VHQ now has an opportunity to promote our VHQ WebOffice services to fill that gap with features that allow the social side of collaboration if required but major on the business, the money making side as a definite.

E-Business Conference 2008: creating a future advantage

VHQ Solutions has a long association with the National B2B Centre, based at the University of Warwick, it is only fitting then to highlight the forthcoming E-Business conference on September 25th because it covers topics that are very close to our hearts. In particular James Pennington and Steve Orriss are running a workshop on how to use CRM systems to help business processes within small companies.

Look forward to seeing you there.
