It has been fascinating to watch the gradual shift of collaboration platforms over the last 5 or so years in particular, as

• intranet and extranet platforms have evolved
• the world has flattened
• open source has raised the value expectations across all of IT.

These three factors are in my experience combining to create a new agenda for our clients and ourselves.

The previous focus on IT, HR and Marcomms systems that were largely driven by content and obsessed by command and control has been replaced by a new engagement that is refreshing, inspirational and challenging to us all. The legacy remains, and is still valid – but is now a necessary substrate on which true value is built rather than a goal in itself.

At Claromentis we we see in our most engaging clients that are achieving high ROI on their investments a focus on:

• Process Execution
• The extended Enterprise
• Innovation
• Sustainability
• Compliance
• Pure Platforms not vendor products
• Open source extendability for rapid response

Collaboration agenda

This is a space in which Claromentis has been able to gain considerable market share as our major products and PHP based platform is proving an ideal environment for this new way in intranet and extranet deployment.

We are able to foster innovation and facilitate the rapid generation of  highly focussed open source applications within our framework, with the code either the property of our clients or available to all depending on the aims of our customers.

It is an exciting time in our company and we look forward to learning more from our most innovative customers, and to helping them discover new ways to interact and innovate.
