Recent communication, collaboration, and content advances are essential. Is your enterprise ready to fully leverage them?
There are breakthrough opportunities at the intersection of communication, collaboration, content, and activities (3CA). Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are 3CA enterprise leaders, and Atlassian, Slack, Zoom, and other smaller competitors are also widely deployed. The modern 3CA model, accelerated by the shift to remote work triggered by COVID-19, can dramatically improve productivity, responsiveness, and employee job satisfaction, offering significant operational and competitive advantages. TechVision Research can help you define and execute a 3CA strategy for your enterprise that will help you capitalize on the new 3CA opportunities and prepare for future advances as well.
Let TechVision Research help you make progress. Our advisory workshops are designed to help you understand the basics, what you are doing well, and what you might need to improve.
A Facilitated Two-day, Highly Interactive Communication, Collaboration, Content, and Activities (3CA) Workshop
TechVision Research’s 3CA On-Site Strategy Workshop gets all enterprise 3CA stakeholders on the same page in understanding how modern 3CA cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace represent huge leaps forward compared to earlier alternatives such as SharePoint Server. Workshop participants collaborate to craft a 3CA strategy that’s optimized for your enterprise, fully leveraging new 3CA opportunities and providing a clear path from current systems to your new 3CA cloud deployment.
At the conclusion of the workshop engagement, your organization will have:
- Stakeholder consensus based on a robust 3CA market framework that clearly explains 3CA opportunities and challenges and positions competitors ranging from Atlassian to Zoom
- A comprehensive understanding of the pros and cons of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace as enterprise 3CA platforms, along with details about what deployments on those platforms entail in terms of implicit commitments to the vendors’ underlying cloud platforms (Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform)
- Insights into the blurring boundaries between documents and databases, along with implications for enterprise information management
- Appreciation for how the shift from traditional app dev tools to new activity automation tools (such as Google AppSheet, Microsoft Power Automate, and Slack Workflow Builder) is empowering enterprise “citizen developers” to rapidly, securely, and effectively address their own business process and workflow needs
- Guidance on how to structure and execute a migration plan from legacy 3CA systems
In the workshop you’ll learn tips and techniques that will help you…
- Apply a focused, collaborative learning experience to build consensus and drive major 3CA strategy decisions.
- Use our proven and road-tested methodologies to get your 3CA strategy quickly and effectively on track.
- Develop and train your team through collaboration with our expert analysts.
- Produce a tangible model for expressing and tying goals, guidance, and technology to 3CA resources and processes.
