Collaboration is known to be an essential component of end-user
productivity. Through the years, a great deal many point
solutions have been put forward to address various
collaboration needs. While most of these solutions have
gradually evolved from a technical standpoint, it remains that
they require end users to master a slew of separate
applications, the integration of a plethora of technologies into
existing production environments, a revision of existing
processes and an increase of IT expenditures. As a result, the
penetration of modern-day collaboration tools in organizations
remains low or limited to a few tech-savvy users.
Kryptiva builds on the fact that the end user is the cornerstone
of the ecosystem and that success is proportional to usage. At
its most basic, Kryptiva's solution enables collaboration
through file-sharing, screen sharing, instant messaging (IM)
and whiteboarding. Where Kryptiva sets itself apart, however,
is by providing this functionality through the existing email
infrastructure thereby ensuring end-user acceptance of
additional functionality and authenticated federation.
The Kryptiva software is installed as a plug-in to Microsoft's
industry-standard Outlook email client. Prior to sending an
email in Outlook, the sender simply enables the desired
Kryptiva suite elements for that message and the collaboration
process begins. Since Kryptiva's unified collaboration solution
works through email, recipients can be working from any
message provider, including web-based email services like
Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail or Yahoo! -- Outlook is not required.
Kryptiva's technology is built for scalable deployment and
leverages the existing infrastructure and software already
found in most enterprises, including integration with
ActiveDirectory and LDAP. On demand, users can therefore
create federated collaboration workspaces for internal and
external recipients, enabling seamless sharing without the
need for administration by IT departments. It reduces costs
associated with the maintenance of a new system, eliminates
the need for multiple communications products and is non-disruptive
to the enterprise.
Yielding results for all departments, effective collaboration is a
business benefit across all organizations. Kryptiva's
collaboration suite is the entry point for collaboration and a
perfect fit with existing content management solutions. Filling
the gap between email and modern-day Enterprise Content
Management systems (ECMs), Kryptiva's solution best
addresses the crucial stages of information gathering,
creation, analysis, interpretation and organization.
Features
File Sharing
Users can share documents in an
easy and secure manner instead of sending them as
email attachments. This enables recipients to access
files in the sender's shared workspace, providing
immediate collaboration. This ability for recipients to
read and write to shared documents eliminates the
need to re-send the file to the original sender. And
with the file-sharing functionality, the size limitations
of email attachments are not an issue neither is the
security aspect.
Screen Sharing
Users can invite recipients to view
one of their applications or their entire desktop simply
by selecting the appropriate option in the shared
workspace. Kryptiva's solution entirely eliminates the
set-up procedure and exorbitant cost associated with
similar services, providing on demand sharing for a
fraction of the cost.
Instant Messaging
Users can initiate
contextualized IM sessions directly from the shared
workspace. Therefore, there is no need to have an
IM client running -- or for an open-ended IM channel
where participants can be interrupted at any time. In
addition, given that it is contextualized, the chance of
off-topic discussions is reduced.
Whiteboarding
Users can simultaneously draw on
a whiteboard within the shared workspace. This
effectively enables replacing face-to-face conference
room meetings by allowing users of a variety of
different locations to sketch and comment each
others' ideas. And, given that there is one
whiteboard per workspace, users can hold
simultaneous sessions with a number of different
parties.
In a Nutshell:
-
Collaboration is known to be an essential
component of end-user productivity.
-
Kryptiva builds on the fact that users are the
cornerstone of the ecosystem and that their
natural environment is email.
-
Trivial federation enables transparent
collaboration both internally and externally.
-
Interoperability allows senders to collaborate
with any recipient; no requirement for
recipient to install software.
-
Military-grade security guarantees that all
communications are confidential and
authenticated.
