TOKYO, December 25, 2012 - Hitachi Solutions, Ltd. (Hitachi Solutions) today announced the release of the latest version of the Hitachi Advanced Collaboration System on January 7, 2013. Supporting Japanese, English, German, Italian, and French, the system offers a shared whiteboard workspace and other tools that allow corporate users at different locations to interact and share information to facilitate collaboration within the company. The latest version comes with an added sticky note function, which helps to enhance meeting productivity and improve teamwork by making it easier for team members in separate locations to brainstorm and share opinions.
Good communication is crucial to helping companies accomplish business activities faster. It is particularly true for international corporations, which often have marketing, production, and decision-making departments in locations around the world. For companies like these, it is crucial to build effective communication that keeps all team members on the same page and shortens product time to market. Companies need collaboration systems that facilitate more effective communication to achieve these goals. In an increasingly global business environment, collaboration systems will become an essential part of any corporate IT infrastructure.
Hitachi Solutions addressed this need by launching the Hitachi Advanced Collaboration System in Japan, the U.S. and Europe on March 1, 2012. This user-friendly, innovative collaboration system offers an integrated interface that enables users at the same meeting or in distant locations to share audio, video, and documents, as well as a whiteboard workspace. With the release of this latest version, Hitachi Solutions adds a sticky note feature for greater efficiency and more dynamic collaboration, helping companies reduce the time to market even further.
The Hitachi Advanced Collaboration System whiteboard provides a central workspace for members of a team to utilize at every stage of the process from collecting and organizing information to decision-making. Decisions can be made more quickly because all necessary information is located in a single place and shared efficiently among all team members. With the new sticky note function, users are able to post text, photos and videos, to the whiteboard and documents, which visually enhances the organization and presentation of opinions and ideas. Comments expressed on sticky notes are more visually accessible, help to evoke new ideas and promote more dynamic, robust collaboration.
With the release of the Hitachi Advanced Collaboration System, Hitachi Solutions aims to develop the market for new collaborations systems, which have never been more vital than in today's increasingly global business environment.
