The Quickest, Easiest Way to Collaborate
Synectics' Express Edition portal is, hands down, the simplest way to collaborate on your projects. There are no fees to maintain or support your portal - just a minimal setup cost to create your portal and establish your team.
You will get a secure portal that lets you:
- Post messages and communicate online with other team members
- Securely transfer documents to other team members (up to 200MB)
- Share a project calendar
You may wonder how is this different from other online tools - why not just use email or free Instant Messaging? In a number of ways, actually:
Security: All communication and data transfer are encrypted and secure. Email is easy, but it is NOT a secure transfer method!
Access: Although the data is far more secure than email, you can provide access to any user you designate. Any authorized user, within or outside of your organization, can collaborate with you on your portal. Many organizations block Instant Messaging and document transfer systems, but Synectics' messaging and transfer tools meet strict government security requirements that allow them to be used in any environment.
Traceability: All your communication and data files are in one place. Chat messages are logged for easy access later, and can be used to document discussions. No searching through email inboxes for the 'latest version'!
Usability: Email boxes get full, administrators set size limits, documents get sent and overlooked. Using a collaborative portal, everyone shares one copy of a document and can easily see all the pertinent communication for the project.
Setup costs are based on 5 hours of Synectics' support. Support rates are approximately $125 per hour.
