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.

VHQ Solutions hits the Birmingham Post

VHQ Solutions was able to get a launch story in the Birmingham Post recently to signal the start of its launch marketing around the West Midlands.

VHQ is the brainchild of Denis Pelych former director of the National B2B Centre based at the University of Warwick. Denis has become something of an expert in collaboration technologies and techniques and VHQ was set up to create business focused applications and services for small and medium sized companies.

The VHQ WebOffice, in particular, provides collaboration, finance, opportunity and projevt management capability on a web-based paltform.
