One of the earliest definitions of collaborative software is "intentional group processes plus software to support them".\r\nIn terms of the level of interaction it allows, collaborative software may be divided into: real-time collaborative editing (RTCE) platforms that allow multiple users to engage in live, simultaneous and reversible editing of a single file, like document collaboration app, and version control (also known as revision control and source control) platforms, which allow separate users to make parallel edits to a file, while preserving every saved edit by every user as multiple files (that are variants of the original file). The use of collaborative software in the work space creates a collaborative working environment (CWE). \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">There are three main categories</span> of collaboration software based on their functional capabilities. Knowing how does collaboration software work can be gleaned from the tools employed.<br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Communication.</span> Helps in the exchange of communication between groups. The most common communication tools that are used are systems and applications for email hosting, file sharing, project management and a website or online collaboration applications platform that can be readily accessed. Research findings have shown that file sharing is the most common and needed feature in collaboration software. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Example tools:</span> email, voicemail, instant messaging, VoIP or video calls.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Conferencing.</span> Allows real-time collaboration among members. Groupware software tools make possible real-time discussions among project members through a virtual meeting room with a moderator who oversees the sharing of information.

Understanding what does a collaboration software do will help you justify its implementation in your organization and bolster its adoption with your employees. The successful execution of good collaboration software will afford you many advantages. Why use collaboration software? Here are four good reasons why.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Save time</span> – Time is gold, and in a business that is tantamount to money. The more you save time, the more you save on unwanted expenses, and the better it is for your organization. Collaboration among employees makes possible the quicker completion of end goals that wouldn’t otherwise be achievable in other ways. Embracing collaboration methods cuts disparate, uncoordinated work on a particular project from different contributing members and saves not only time but also resources and efforts. If you are looking to cut costs on projects, collaboration software can help in that respect.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Enhance project management</span> – Keeping a handle on a project, a team and its members and their progress are never easy to work. Coordination and communication are of paramount importance if you want a project completed. Collaboration is one of the most optimal means to guarantee that you get the most out of your team. It opens lines of communication and makes sure everything is on track in order to avoid mistakes and confusion that can delay projects.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Strengthen team relationships</span> – One sure-fire way to build effective working relationships among employees is to have them work together to complete tasks and projects. Collaboration programs are designed to do that, making it easy for teams to work almost like a concerted unit with a singular purpose. This makes teams comfortable and confident in working with one another when it comes to completing common objectives.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Improve organization</span> – The process of keeping things and tasks in order has always been a problem for businesses. It is typical to lose track of what has been done and what needs to be done in project workflows simply because everything is a mess. Collaborative programs assist in maintaining order and managing the stages in workflows through open communication and coordination among concerned individuals and team.</li></ul>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Collaborative_Applications.png"}],"additionalInfo":{"budgetNotExceeded":"","functionallyTaskAssignment":"","projectWasPut":"","price":0,"source":{"url":"http://softprom.com/node/1753","title":"Supplier's web site"}},"comments":[],"referencesCount":0},{"id":1231,"title":"Google G Suite for Salesforce","description":"Salesforce was the first commercially successful business software company built especially for cloud computing. Nearly 20 years after its debut, the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software company “dominates the market,” as Bloomberg puts it, with 19.6 percent market share in 2017, according to International Data Corporation.\r\nAlong with its status as a SaaS industry pioneer, the San Francisco-based company and its CEO Marc Benioff are leaders in corporate philanthropy. The influential Salesforce.org 1-1-1 philanthropic model <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“has inspired many in the tech community to give back and build charitable models of their own,”</span> says VentureBeat. And Salesforce was recently named number 1 in Fortune’s 2018 list of 100 Best Companies to Work For.\r\nIn the fast-changing, highly competitive industry that it helped establish, how does Salesforce maintain its position as a business, philanthropic, and workplace leader? In part, the company’s success is a result of streamlined collaboration, both internally and externally, supported by real-time, easy communication between teams and partners.\r\nAs the company grew and expanded its network of offices and partners, it found that its on-premises email system and communication and collaboration tools couldn’t keep pace. Salesforce was able to take advantage of the infrastructure capacity of G Suite, including unlimited email storage, built-in intelligence features like Smart Reply, so that their employees were able to spend less time in their inboxes and more time creating value for their customers.\r\nInitially, Salesforce migrated some users to Google Docs for its real-time document collaboration. Widespread acceptance of Docs led the company to adopt Gmail and Google Calendar followed by the full G Suite. Today, Salesforce's more than 40,000 employees use G Suite app for email, video and team chat, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and more.<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> "Salesforce employees are participating in over 50,000 Meet calls per day. Five years ago we were 1,000 to 2,000 per day,”</span> says Nick Amido, Director of Infrastructure Engineering.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“Compared to what we were using, the infrastructure capacity of G Suite alone is far superior. People’s email storage capacity used to max out at 250MB, for example. With G Suite, it’s unlimited. That’s huge,”</span> says Tetsu. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“And Gmail has built-in intelligence features like Smart Reply, so people spend less time in their inboxes and more time creating value for our customers.”</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“The integration between Gmail, Docs, Calendar, Google Drive, and other G Suite apps was another big selling point,”</span> adds Andy White, Senior Director, Infrastructure Engineering. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“As a total, real-time collaboration platform, G Suite is impressive.”</span><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><br />Accelerating the pace of collaboration</span>\r\nThe ease of real-time collaboration enables Salesforce teams to work faster and more effectively. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“The speed of business has changed, so the pace of collaboration had to change, too,”</span> says Leandro Perez, Senior Director of Product Marketing. In one example, Leandro cites the amount of time it previously took to finalize marketing materials using Salesforce’s legacy email and productivity software, due to the back-and-forth nature of sharing drafts via email. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“With up to several dozen stakeholders in legal, product marketing, and other departments who need to review and comment, getting marketing materials out the door used to take weeks. With Docs, we can create, approve, and deliver assets in as little as 24 hours.”</span><br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Collaborating globally in real time</span>\r\nSalesforce is headquartered in San Francisco, but has employees and offices around the world, including in the Americas; Europe, Middle East, and Africa; and Asia Pacific.\r\nTo overcome geographical boundaries, Salesforce teams are heavy users of Google Chat and Google Meet. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“A few years ago, we had maybe 200 sessions happening each day,”</span> says Nick Amido, Director of Infrastructure Engineering. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“That’s exploded to more than 50,000 a day now.”</span>\r\nCorporate Communications team members work with Salesforce presenters on messaging and content and then build the presentations for the company’s many global events. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“For our World Tour, we have to prep presenters in Paris, London, Sydney, and other cities,”</span> says Leandro. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“We need to interact with many people at once and see their reactions, with everyone simultaneously seeing the same deck in Slides. We couldn’t do any of this without Meet.”</span>\r\nThe integration between G Suite apps helps team members more effectively collaborate with colleagues and business partners. Salesforce considers external partners essential to its success. When working with a partner on a Slides presentation, Salesforce teams can talk about it with them during a Meet screen share. They might also have a Doc that summarizes all the talking points. “G Suite absolutely breaks down any barriers between us and a partner we’re working with. It makes us all feel like one team, which is ideal for getting the best outcome,” says Leandro.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Knowing you have the latest deck</span>\r\nGiven the importance of content in strategy, sales, training, and other presentations, it’s essential to trust that the information contained in every deck is final, or is at least the most current version.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“When I open a Slides deck to present to a customer, I trust that I have the latest content. Being confident about the information we’re sharing helps us build even stronger relationships with our customers,”</span> says Nick Amido.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Going from hundreds of files to one</span>\r\nSalesforce uses Sheets to facilitate collaboration around long-range planning (LRP), variance explanations, and other financial matters. The LRP process used to be extremely complicated, with top-line business projections, headcount estimates, and other data input on different spreadsheets by managers in Salesforce regions around the world.\r\nBefore Sheets, every time someone made a change to a LRP spreadsheet, he or she created a new version, so there would end up being a long trail. Within a few months, there might be hundreds of versions, which was understandably frustrating and challenging for managers. And though the Finance team kept the files in a shared network folder, only one person could edit a file at a time in the legacy on-premises spreadsheet application\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“With Sheets, there’s only one version of a spreadsheet, which greatly reduces complexity and speeds up collaboration,”</span> explains Srini Namineni, Vice President, Finance & Strategy. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“Each spreadsheet has an unlimited history, so we can see who changed what, which helps with accountability. And Sheets gives regions a greater sense of autonomy. They don’t have to call someone on my team and ask them to change some numbers. They can do it themselves, and the change is instant for everyone.”</span>\r\nThe ability to add comments to a Sheets spreadsheet is another important benefit. If the financial data from a particular region is off by a certain percentage, the reason can be explained in a comment within the spreadsheet for all reviewers to see. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“Asking questions and offering explanations within a Google Sheet takes so much friction out of the process,”</span> Srini says.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Identifying underused resources</span>\r\nSalesforce has two pilot programs that leverage Google Calendar and G Suite administration tools to optimize meeting room usage. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“With the Room Insights dashboard, we’ve identified hundreds of under-utilized resources, and we’re in the process of figuring out why those rooms aren’t being used,”</span> says Jason Uhlrich, Senior System Administrator, Collaboration Team. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“Getting access to this data and being able to take action on it could have a huge impact for our organization.”</span>\r\nJason adds, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“The Room Recycler feature took 5 minutes to implement, and it’s consistently freeing up 200 to 300 hours of conference rooms each day. It was the best 5 minutes I’ve ever spent.”</span><br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Reducing backup and training costs</span>\r\nG Suite Business and Enterprise plans offer unlimited storage for users, and like other G Suite plans, provide 99.9% availability. In addition, the Google Backup and Sync desktop client automatically syncs designated hard drive folders with Drive for continuous cloud backup. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“The unlimited storage in G Suite, along with its high availability and automatic backups, allow us to stop paying additional dollars every year for a separate cloud backup service,”</span> says Andy. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“That’s a substantial annual cost savings.”</span><br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Listening to pain points</span>\r\nThe security center for G Suite lets organizations more tightly control content access, receive security recommendations, and forensically investigate incidents. For example, administrators can gain visibility into which employees have been targeted with phishing emails in order to block malware attacks—a growing concern for organizations small and large.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“The security center is further proof that Google listens to its customers’ requirements and pain points,”</span> says Jo-ann Olsovsky, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Salesforce.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Sending a clear message</span>\r\nAs Salesforce strives to deliver customer success and promote positive change through its Salesforce.org and other philanthropic efforts, G Suite helps the company excel in its various missions. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“A lot of what we do is about making Salesforce a power for good in the world,”</span> says Jo-ann.<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> “With G Suite, we can collaborate and communicate with all of our stakeholders—both in real time and in a highly secure environment—to create meaningful impact at scale.”</span>","alias":"google-g-suite-for-salesforce","roi":0,"seo":{"title":"Google G Suite for Salesforce","keywords":"","description":"Salesforce was the first commercially successful business software company built especially for cloud computing.

Knowing how does collaboration software work can be gleaned from the tools employed.<br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Communication.</span> Helps in the exchange of communication between groups. The most common communication tools that are used are systems and applications for email hosting, file sharing, project management and a website or online collaboration applications platform that can be readily accessed. Research findings have shown that file sharing is the most common and needed feature in collaboration software. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Example tools:</span> email, voicemail, instant messaging, VoIP or video calls.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Conferencing.</span> Allows real-time collaboration among members. Groupware software tools make possible real-time discussions among project members through a virtual meeting room with a moderator who oversees the sharing of information. These web based collaboration applications meetings are helpful when there are important matters to be decided on by project members who are in various locations. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Example tools:</span> video conferencing, IM conferencing, online forums, social media group chats, community boards, application sharing.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Coordination.</span> Assists in group activities, schedule and deliverables. Coordination software solutions are used for complex interdependent tasks to realize a common goal. Typical business collaboration app suits for time management, project management and online proofing so that team members are aware of deadlines, are properly coordinated, and can monitor the status of projects. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Example tools:</span> calendars, time trackers, spreadsheets, client portals, alerts and status updates<br /><br /><br />","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\">What does collaboration software do?</h1>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Internal Communication System.</span> Teams need an efficient communication system to be able to stay on task and not miss crucial aspects of ongoing projects. With many tools built into web based collaboration apps that allow all forms of communication – email, IM, voice, video – as well as mechanisms to review and retrieve conversations and discussions, team members are assured of uninterrupted coordination and kept in sync.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">File Sharing.</span> Like communication, the ability to share files, documents, data and all other forms of media is one of the most important features of collaboration software. Many groupware now carry robust document management systems, providing you and your team members a convenient means to share, access, view and retrieve files</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Content Creation.</span> Several all-in-one collaboration platforms offer content creation functionality that allows producing and publishing content both for internal and external audiences. This is useful for inbound marketing activities like creating blogs and informative content to attract new audience and enhance your business’ online presence.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Powerful Search.</span> Finding old files, previous conversation or past blog post are facilitated by the robust search feature of web based collaboration software. What was previously a time-consuming process, now you can use tags and search filters to find what you’re looking for in quickly and efficiently.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Personal and Group Calendars.</span> Keeping track of numerous meetings, events and other important matters that need your attention is a sure headache-inducer. Personal as well as group calendars are integral features in most collaborative platforms and mobile collaboration apps to help you and your team members stay attuned, involved and present at all times, wherever they may be.</li></ul>\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">What are the benefits of collaboration software? </h1>\r\nThere are a number of benefits of collaboration software that can result in more efficient and effective completion of tasks and goals. Understanding what does a collaboration software do will help you justify its implementation in your organization and bolster its adoption with your employees. The successful execution of good collaboration software will afford you many advantages. Why use collaboration software? Here are four good reasons why.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Save time</span> – Time is gold, and in a business that is tantamount to money. The more you save time, the more you save on unwanted expenses, and the better it is for your organization. Collaboration among employees makes possible the quicker completion of end goals that wouldn’t otherwise be achievable in other ways. Embracing collaboration methods cuts disparate, uncoordinated work on a particular project from different contributing members and saves not only time but also resources and efforts. If you are looking to cut costs on projects, collaboration software can help in that respect.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Enhance project management</span> – Keeping a handle on a project, a team and its members and their progress are never easy to work. Coordination and communication are of paramount importance if you want a project completed. Collaboration is one of the most optimal means to guarantee that you get the most out of your team. It opens lines of communication and makes sure everything is on track in order to avoid mistakes and confusion that can delay projects.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Strengthen team relationships</span> – One sure-fire way to build effective working relationships among employees is to have them work together to complete tasks and projects. Collaboration programs are designed to do that, making it easy for teams to work almost like a concerted unit with a singular purpose. This makes teams comfortable and confident in working with one another when it comes to completing common objectives.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Improve organization</span> – The process of keeping things and tasks in order has always been a problem for businesses. It is typical to lose track of what has been done and what needs to be done in project workflows simply because everything is a mess. Collaborative programs assist in maintaining order and managing the stages in workflows through open communication and coordination among concerned individuals and team.</li></ul>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Collaborative_Applications.png"}],"additionalInfo":{"budgetNotExceeded":"-1","functionallyTaskAssignment":"-1","projectWasPut":"-1","price":0,"source":{"url":"https://gsuite.google.com/customers/salesforce.html","title":"Web-site of vendor"}},"comments":[],"referencesCount":0},{"id":1229,"title":"Google G Suite for Whirlpool Corporation","description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Challenges.</span> Product leadership is driven by strong market demand for big products and big brands.

A business typically relies heavily upon the applications, services and data contained within a data center, making it a focal point and critical asset for everyday operations.\r\nData centers are not a single thing, but rather, a conglomeration of elements. At a minimum, data centers serve as the principal repositories for all manner of IT equipment, including servers, storage subsystems, networking switches, routers and firewalls, as well as the cabling and physical racks used to organize and interconnect the IT equipment. A data center must also contain an adequate infrastructure, such as power distribution and supplemental power subsystems, including electrical switching; uninterruptable power supplies; backup generators and so on; ventilation and data center cooling systems, such as computer room air conditioners; and adequate provisioning for network carrier (telco) connectivity. All of this demands a physical facility with physical security and sufficient physical space to house the entire collection of infrastructure and equipment.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What are the requirements for modern data centers?</span>\r\nModernization and data center transformation enhances performance and energy efficiency.\r\nInformation security is also a concern, and for this reason a data center has to offer a secure environment which minimizes the chances of a security breach. A data center must therefore keep high standards for assuring the integrity and functionality of its hosted computer environment.\r\nIndustry research company International Data Corporation (IDC) puts the average age of a data center at nine years old. Gartner, another research company, says data centers older than seven years are obsolete. The growth in data (163 zettabytes by 2025) is one factor driving the need for data centers to modernize.\r\nFocus on modernization is not new: Concern about obsolete equipment was decried in 2007, and in 2011 Uptime Institute was concerned about the age of the equipment therein. By 2018 concern had shifted once again, this time to the age of the staff: "data center staff are aging faster than the equipment."\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Meeting standards for data centers</span></span>\r\nThe Telecommunications Industry Association's Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers specifies the minimum requirements for telecommunications infrastructure of data centers and computer rooms including single tenant enterprise data centers and multi-tenant Internet hosting data centers. The topology proposed in this document is intended to be applicable to any size data center.\r\nTelcordia GR-3160, NEBS Requirements for Telecommunications Data Center Equipment and Spaces, provides guidelines for data center spaces within telecommunications networks, and environmental requirements for the equipment intended for installation in those spaces. These criteria were developed jointly by Telcordia and industry representatives. They may be applied to data center spaces housing data processing or Information Technology (IT) equipment. The equipment may be used to:\r\n<ul><li>Operate and manage a carrier's telecommunication network</li><li>Provide data center based applications directly to the carrier's customers</li><li>Provide hosted applications for a third party to provide services to their customers</li><li>Provide a combination of these and similar data center applications</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Data center transformation</span></span>\r\nData center transformation takes a step-by-step approach through integrated projects carried out over time. This differs from a traditional method of data center upgrades that takes a serial and siloed approach. The typical projects within a data center transformation initiative include standardization/consolidation, virtualization, automation and security.\r\n<ul><li>Standardization/consolidation: Reducing the number of data centers and avoiding server sprawl (both physical and virtual) often includes replacing aging data center equipment, and is aided by standardization.</li><li>Virtualization: Lowers capital and operational expenses, reduce energy consumption. Virtualized desktops can be hosted in data centers and rented out on a subscription basis. Investment bank Lazard Capital Markets estimated in 2008 that 48 percent of enterprise operations will be virtualized by 2012. Gartner views virtualization as a catalyst for modernization.</li><li>Automating: Automating tasks such as provisioning, configuration, patching, release management and compliance is needed, not just when facing fewer skilled IT workers.</li><li>Securing: Protection of virtual systems is integrated with existing security of physical infrastructures.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Machine room</span></span>\r\nThe term "Machine Room" is at times used to refer to the large room within a Data Center where the actual Central Processing Unit is located; this may be separate from where high-speed printers are located. Air conditioning is most important in the machine room.\r\nAside from air-conditioning, there must be monitoring equipment, one type of which is to detect water prior to flood-level situations. One company, for several decades, has had share-of-mind: Water Alert. The company, as of 2018, has 2 competing manufacturers (Invetex, Hydro-Temp) and 3 competing distributors (Longden,Northeast Flooring, Slayton). ","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Data_center.png","alias":"data-center"},"878":{"id":878,"title":"Remote Desktop Software","description":"The term remote desktop refers to a software or operating system feature that allows a personal computer's desktop environment to be run remotely on one system (usually a PC, but the concept applies equally to a server), while being displayed on a separate client device. Remote desktop applications have varying features. Some allow attaching to an existing user's session (i.e., a running desktop) and "remote controlling", either displaying the remote control session or blanking the screen. Taking over a desktop remotely is a form of remote administration.\r\nRemote access can also be explained as remote control of a computer by using another device connected via the Internet or another network. This is widely used by many computer manufacturers and large businesses' help desks for technical troubleshooting of their customers' problems.\r\nRemote desktop software captures the mouse and keyboard inputs from the local computer (client) and sends them to the remote computer (server). The remote computer in turn sends the display commands to the local computer. When applications with many graphics including video or 3D models need to be controlled remotely, a remote workstation software that sends the pixels rather than the display commands must be used to provide a smooth, like-local experience. HP Remote Graphics Software is one such remote workstation solution.\r\nRemote desktop sharing is accomplished through a common client/server model. The client, or VNC viewer, is installed on a local computer and then connects via a network to a server component, which is installed on the remote computer. In a typical VNC session, all keystrokes and mouse clicks are registered as if the client were actually performing tasks on the end-user machine.\r\nThe target computer in a remote desktop scenario is still able to access all of its core functions. Many of these core functions, including the main clipboard, can be shared between the target computer and remote desktop client.\r\nA main use of remote desktop software is remote administration and remote implementation. This need arises when software buyers are far away from their software vendor. Most remote access software can be used for "headless computers": instead of each computer having its own monitor, keyboard and mouse or using a KVM switch, one computer can have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and remote control software, and control many headless computers. The duplicate desktop mode is useful for user support and education. Remote control software combined with telephone communication can be nearly as helpful for novice computer-users as if the support staff were actually there.\r\nSince the advent of cloud computing, remote desktop software can be housed on USB hardware devices, allowing users to connect the device to any PC connected to their network or the Internet and recreate their desktop via a connection to the cloud. This model avoids one problem with remote desktop software, which requires the local computer to be switched on at the time when the user wishes to access it remotely. (It is possible with a router with C2S VPN support, and Wake on LAN equipment, to establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection with the router over the Internet, if not connected to the LAN, switch on a computer connected to the router, then connect to it.)\r\nRemote desktop products are available in three models: hosted service, software, and appliance.","materialsDescription":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is Remote Desktop Software?</span>\r\nRemote Desktop Software is a tool that uses Virtual Network Computing (VNC) to allow one computer to remotely access and control another computer over an internet/network connection.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How does Remote Desktop Software Work?</span>\r\nRemote Desktop Software uses a client-server model to connect to and control a computer remotely:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Server:</span> The server is a remote device that is being controlled.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Client:</span> The client is the local device used to control the server.</li></ul>\r\nThe server's UI is displayed on the client monitor which enables the client to control the server via keyboard and mouse inputs.

You’ve likely spent some time on the phone or exchanged a few emails. Perhaps the prospect has visited your website a couple times. They’re likely not sold on you and actively forming their opinion of your brand. This is why it’s imperative that your first presentation is a slam dunk. When a prospect sees you, your brand, and your product on display, you want them to leave excited for the benefits you can offer them.\r\nA great presentation software gives you the tools and functionality you need to create a winning presentation. And create it quickly and easily.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">In addition to usability, below are more benefits a good presentation software can bring to your organization.</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Consolidation of information. </span></li></ul>\r\nA great slide deck combined with quality content is often one of the best single sources of sales information in your company.\r\nMost sales decks contain a complete pitch all the way from pain point identification to feature/benefit pairings. Testimonials, best practices, and case studies are often scattered throughout.\r\nThis means you have a single file you can hand off to new sales reps for training. Or, if you need to pull a testimonial from a happy customer, you can find it in the slide deck. This one-stop shop for valuable sales information is made possible by a good presentation software.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Mobility for reps on the go. </span></li></ul>\r\nIf your sales reps are doing a lot of physical site visits, having a mobile sales presentation that they can carry around in their pockets is a whole lot easier than lugging around a laptop. Almost every modern presentation software offers robust mobile functionality.\r\nHaving the consolidated information mentioned in the last point available at all times is a powerful asset for the rep doing on-site visits or demos.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Consistency across the team.</span> </li></ul>\r\nMost presentation solutions allow for the creation of custom templates. This, combined with a “master slide deck” means that you can ensure greater alignment across your sales reps. This, with a content management platform, means your content is version-controlled and up-to-date. Which is important as its being presented to prospects.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Rapid content personalization. </span></li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span>Let’s say you’re about to hop on a presentation call with a prospect. Right before the call, you receive an email from him letting you know his boss will be on the call as well. As it turns out, she’s particularly interested in one specific feature of your product.\r\nWith a great presentation tool, you can edit slides immediately (often from your mobile device, if needed). You can also delete, append, or customize information. This allows you to quickly tailor your messaging and visuals to fit the needs of a particular prospect or market segment.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Firsthand feedback from prospects.</span></li></ul>\r\n There are a lot of advantages of making sales presentations a two-way conversation as opposed to a monologue. Even if you can’t meet in person, real-time verbal feedback from prospects is incredibly valuable information.\r\nA good sales rep will listen closely for clues that certain slides are holding the attention of the audience. These are moments that likely deserve to be highlighted or more deeply articulated. \r\nA great presentation software will allow you to add slides, write copy, and format visuals immediately after the prospect hangs up. All while the information is fresh in the presenter’s mind. That way you can elevate their points of interest.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/presenter.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":1552,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/google-cloud-storage.png","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Google Cloud Storage","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"2.00","implementationsCount":0,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":5,"alias":"google-cloud-storage","companyTitle":"Google","companyTypes":["vendor"],"companyId":179,"companyAlias":"google","description":"<p><span style=\"color: #747474; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Geo-redundant storage with the highest level of availability and performance is ideal for low-latency, high QPS content serving to users distributed across geographic regions.

This is widely used by many computer manufacturers and large businesses' help desks for technical troubleshooting of their customers' problems.\r\nRemote desktop software captures the mouse and keyboard inputs from the local computer (client) and sends them to the remote computer (server). The remote computer in turn sends the display commands to the local computer. When applications with many graphics including video or 3D models need to be controlled remotely, a remote workstation software that sends the pixels rather than the display commands must be used to provide a smooth, like-local experience. HP Remote Graphics Software is one such remote workstation solution.\r\nRemote desktop sharing is accomplished through a common client/server model. The client, or VNC viewer, is installed on a local computer and then connects via a network to a server component, which is installed on the remote computer. In a typical VNC session, all keystrokes and mouse clicks are registered as if the client were actually performing tasks on the end-user machine.\r\nThe target computer in a remote desktop scenario is still able to access all of its core functions. Many of these core functions, including the main clipboard, can be shared between the target computer and remote desktop client.\r\nA main use of remote desktop software is remote administration and remote implementation. This need arises when software buyers are far away from their software vendor. Most remote access software can be used for "headless computers": instead of each computer having its own monitor, keyboard and mouse or using a KVM switch, one computer can have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and remote control software, and control many headless computers. The duplicate desktop mode is useful for user support and education. Remote control software combined with telephone communication can be nearly as helpful for novice computer-users as if the support staff were actually there.\r\nSince the advent of cloud computing, remote desktop software can be housed on USB hardware devices, allowing users to connect the device to any PC connected to their network or the Internet and recreate their desktop via a connection to the cloud. This model avoids one problem with remote desktop software, which requires the local computer to be switched on at the time when the user wishes to access it remotely. (It is possible with a router with C2S VPN support, and Wake on LAN equipment, to establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection with the router over the Internet, if not connected to the LAN, switch on a computer connected to the router, then connect to it.)\r\nRemote desktop products are available in three models: hosted service, software, and appliance.","materialsDescription":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is Remote Desktop Software?</span>\r\nRemote Desktop Software is a tool that uses Virtual Network Computing (VNC) to allow one computer to remotely access and control another computer over an internet/network connection.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How does Remote Desktop Software Work?</span>\r\nRemote Desktop Software uses a client-server model to connect to and control a computer remotely:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Server:</span> The server is a remote device that is being controlled.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Client:</span> The client is the local device used to control the server.</li></ul>\r\nThe server's UI is displayed on the client monitor which enables the client to control the server via keyboard and mouse inputs.

It replaces three messaging products that Google had implemented concurrently within its services, including Google Talk, Google+ Messenger (formerly: Huddle), and Hangouts, a video chat system present within Google+. Google has also stated that Hangouts is designed to be \"the future\" of its telephony product, Google Voice, and has already integrated some of the capabilities of Google Voice into Hangouts. Users can be messaged by their Google+ accounts. Google has been planning to evolve Hangouts into 2 main parts that are the most important: Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. This service is already available to G Suite customers and will be available to consumer uses. Google is not sure of when to allow normal consumers to use both new services. Google will attempt to allow every user of Classic Hangouts migrate to both new services. Hangouts allows conversations between two or more users. The service can be accessed online through the Gmail or Google+ websites, or through mobile apps available for Android and iOS (which were distributed as a successor to their existing Google Talk apps). However, because it uses a proprietary protocol[8] instead of the XMPP open standard protocol used by Google Talk, most third-party applications which had access to Google Talk do not have access to Google+ Hangouts. Chat histories are saved online, allowing them to be synced between devices. A \"watermark\" of a user's avatar is used as a marker to indicate how far they have read into the conversation. Photos can be shared during conversations, which are automatically uploaded into a private Google+ album. Users can also now use color emoji symbols in their messages. As with the previous Google+ Hangouts, users can also perform a group video chat with up to 10 users at a time. In 2016 Google upgraded Hangouts to 25 concurrent users in HD video for Work/Education. The new Google Hangouts app on iOS integrates a Google Voice number to some extent, but on Android the SMS support in Hangouts doesn't fully integrate with Google Voice for calls or texts. Integration was first expected by 2014, but was deprecated in January 2016. The reason for the delay appears tied to Google switching away from the XMPP protocol it used, as mentioned above. For Google Chrome, users do not need to install a plugin. However, for Internet Explorer 11, the user must install the \"Google Talk Plugin\" to be able to use the video features. In Android 4.4, Hangouts is integrated with text messages sending and receiving functions, which is the default SMS app on the Nexus 5. For other Android phones, users can choose to open the SMS function when they download the new version of Hangouts via Google Play. SMS conversations are shown in a drawer on the left side. The update also adds GIF support and a new location-sharing button, which allows the user to send their GPS location to their contacts. As of version 2.3 (September 12, 2014), Hangouts includes the ability to make free voice calls to other Hangouts users, and charges users (via pre-registered credit) to call landline and mobile phones internationally except for calls to the United States and Canada which are free of charge. Currently, Android users must have both the Google Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer apps installed if they wish to call landline or mobile telephone numbers via the public switched telephone network. On August 15, 2016, Google announced that Hangouts on Air will be discontinued on September 12. Users will have to utilize YouTube Live for live-streaming events. Google Hangouts includes several Easter eggs to surprise users.</p>","shortDescription":"Google Hangouts is a communication platform developed by Google which includes messaging, video chat, SMS and VOIP features.","type":null,"isRoiCalculatorAvaliable":false,"isConfiguratorAvaliable":false,"bonus":100,"usingCount":10,"sellingCount":6,"discontinued":0,"rebateForPoc":0,"rebate":0,"seo":{"title":"Google Hangouts","keywords":"","description":"<p>Google Hangouts is a communication platform developed by Google which includes messaging, video chat, SMS and VOIP features.

All of them require: “Give more opportunities for web conferencing!”. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that the WebRTC technology is gaining the favor of an increasing number of small and medium-sized businesses.\r\nA recent study conducted by Software Advice showed that more than half of employees in small businesses prefer web conferences, noting their efficiency and usability. The advantages are especially noticeable in comparison with communications via telephone or the use of special applications. However, the benefits of web conferencing do not end there - according to the study, they not only increase the speed and quality of online meetings, but also provide a lot of opportunities for collaboration. In addition, and this is obvious, they reduce travel costs.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Speed and quality come first.</span>\r\nIt is worth noting that now small and medium businesses are almost gone from the use of communication hardware and use desktop computers and mobile devices. Despite the fact that audio and video conferences are still very popular (they are used by 45% and 50% of users, respectively), web conferences are actively replacing them. Judge for yourself - according to statistics, every third user selects them as a means of communication after the first experience of use.\r\nThe main reason for such a rapid growth in popularity is the speed and quality that web conferencing users provide. According to respondents, the main advantage of web conferences is the ability to organize a meeting much faster than before. Now there is no need to spend time on installing special applications like Skype or similar - any communication systems using any third-party programs are a thing of the past. Also worth noting is the ability to connect to the web conference literally in one click.\r\nMore than 40% of the people surveyed showed dissatisfaction with the tedious procedure of entering authorization data, noting the simplicity and convenience of connecting to the WebRTC web conference. All you need is access to the Internet!\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">We work in a team</span>\r\nIt is no secret that the use of web conferencing significantly reduces the company's travel expenses. After all, booking tickets, searching for hotels and meeting places can result in a decent amount, which will seriously hurt the company's income. Using web conferences, you get the opportunity to arrange business meetings, even with overseas partners, without leaving your office. But that's not all! Web conferencing offers a range of tools to overcome language barriers. For example, in the field of healthcare, videoconferencing has been used to establish consultations between doctors and patients from completely different countries. With the help of online translators and other special features of web conferences, people can get the necessary help from qualified foreign specialists.\r\nDo not forget that web conferencing is not only a convenient way to hold a video call. You can arrange trainings for your team using file transfer and document display functions, as well as conduct job interviews without wasting time.\r\nIt is interesting to note that small and medium-sized businesses share their product samples with prospective clients using web conferences, turning them into a powerful marketing tool. This brings the business to a fundamentally new level, allowing the company to take a leading position in its industry!","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Web_Conferencing_Applications.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":1535,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/google_compute_engine_U-K-376940-13.png","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Google Compute Engine","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"2.00","implementationsCount":0,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":5,"alias":"google-compute-engine","companyTitle":"Google","companyTypes":["vendor"],"companyId":179,"companyAlias":"google","description":"<p style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Main features of Google Compute Engine:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 5px;\">Computing environments.

The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet. Large clouds, predominant today, often have functions distributed over multiple locations from central servers. If the connection to the user is relatively close, it may be designated an edge server.\r\nInfrastructure as a service (IaaS) are online services that provide high-level APIs used to dereference various low-level details of underlying network infrastructure like physical computing resources, location, data partitioning, scaling, security, backup etc. A hypervisor, such as Xen, Oracle VirtualBox, Oracle VM, KVM, VMware ESX/ESXi, or Hyper-V, LXD, runs the virtual machines as guests. Pools of hypervisors within the cloud operational system can support large numbers of virtual machines and the ability to scale services up and down according to customers' varying requirements.\r\nTypically IaaS involve the use of a cloud orchestration technology like Open Stack, Apache Cloudstack or Open Nebula. This manages the creation of a virtual machine and decides on which hypervisor (i.e. physical host) to start it, enables VM migration features between hosts, allocates storage volumes and attaches them to VMs, usage information for billing and lots more.\r\nAn alternative to hypervisors are Linux containers, which run in isolated partitions of a single Linux kernel running directly on the physical hardware. Linux cgroups and namespaces are the underlying Linux kernel technologies used to isolate, secure and manage the containers. Containerisation offers higher performance than virtualization, because there is no hypervisor overhead. Also, container capacity auto-scales dynamically with computing load, which eliminates the problem of over-provisioning and enables usage-based billing.\r\nIaaS clouds often offer additional resources such as a virtual-machine disk-image library, raw block storage, file or object storage, firewalls, load balancers, IP addresses, virtual local area networks (VLANs), and software bundles.\r\nThe NIST's definition of cloud computing defines Infrastructure as a Service as:\r\n<ul><li>The capability provided to the consumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications.</li><li>The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications; and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).</li></ul>\r\nAccording to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the most basic cloud-service model is that of providers offering IT infrastructure — virtual machines and other resources — as a service to subscribers.\r\nIaaS-cloud providers supply these resources on-demand from their large pools of equipment installed in data centers. For wide-area connectivity, customers can use either the Internet or carrier clouds (dedicated virtual private networks). To deploy their applications, cloud users install operating-system images and their application software on the cloud infrastructure. In this model, the cloud user patches and maintains the operating systems and the application software. Cloud providers typically bill IaaS services on a utility computing basis: cost reflects the amount of resources allocated and consumed.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Cloud Computing Basics</span>\r\nWhether you are running applications that share photos to millions of mobile users or you’re supporting the critical operations of your business, a cloud services platform provides rapid access to flexible and low cost IT resources. With cloud computing, you don’t need to make large upfront investments in hardware and spend a lot of time on the heavy lifting of managing that hardware. Instead, you can provision exactly the right type and size of computing resources you need to power your newest bright idea or operate your IT department. You can access as many resources as you need, almost instantly, and only pay for what you use.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How Does Cloud Computing Work?</span>\r\nCloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases and a broad set of application services over the Internet. A Cloud services platform such as Amazon Web Services owns and maintains the network-connected hardware required for these application services, while you provision and use what you need via a web application.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Six Advantages and Benefits of Cloud Computing</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Trade capital expense for variable expense</span>\r\nInstead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can only pay when you consume computing resources, and only pay for how much you consume.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Benefit from massive economies of scale</span>\r\nBy using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers are aggregated in the cloud, providers can achieve higher economies of scale which translates into lower pay as you go prices.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Stop guessing capacity</span>\r\nEliminate guessing on your infrastructure capacity needs. When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an application, you often either end up sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity. With cloud computing, these problems go away. You can access as much or as little as you need, and scale up and down as required with only a few minutes notice.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Increase speed and agility</span>\r\nIn a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only ever a click away, which means you reduce the time it takes to make those resources available to your developers from weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in agility for the organization, since the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Stop spending money on running and maintaining data centers</span>\r\nFocus on projects that differentiate your business, not the infrastructure. Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking and powering servers.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Go global in minutes</span>\r\nEasily deploy your application in multiple regions around the world with just a few clicks.

One of the earliest definitions of collaborative software is "intentional group processes plus software to support them".\r\nIn terms of the level of interaction it allows, collaborative software may be divided into: real-time collaborative editing (RTCE) platforms that allow multiple users to engage in live, simultaneous and reversible editing of a single file, like document collaboration app, and version control (also known as revision control and source control) platforms, which allow separate users to make parallel edits to a file, while preserving every saved edit by every user as multiple files (that are variants of the original file). The use of collaborative software in the work space creates a collaborative working environment (CWE). \r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">There are three main categories</span> of collaboration software based on their functional capabilities. Knowing how does collaboration software work can be gleaned from the tools employed.<br /><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Communication.</span> Helps in the exchange of communication between groups. The most common communication tools that are used are systems and applications for email hosting, file sharing, project management and a website or online collaboration applications platform that can be readily accessed. Research findings have shown that file sharing is the most common and needed feature in collaboration software. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Example tools:</span> email, voicemail, instant messaging, VoIP or video calls.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Conferencing.</span> Allows real-time collaboration among members. Groupware software tools make possible real-time discussions among project members through a virtual meeting room with a moderator who oversees the sharing of information. These web based collaboration applications meetings are helpful when there are important matters to be decided on by project members who are in various locations. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Example tools:</span> video conferencing, IM conferencing, online forums, social media group chats, community boards, application sharing.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Coordination.</span> Assists in group activities, schedule and deliverables. Coordination software solutions are used for complex interdependent tasks to realize a common goal. Typical business collaboration app suits for time management, project management and online proofing so that team members are aware of deadlines, are properly coordinated, and can monitor the status of projects. <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Example tools:</span> calendars, time trackers, spreadsheets, client portals, alerts and status updates<br /><br /><br />","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\">What does collaboration software do?</h1>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Internal Communication System.</span> Teams need an efficient communication system to be able to stay on task and not miss crucial aspects of ongoing projects. With many tools built into web based collaboration apps that allow all forms of communication – email, IM, voice, video – as well as mechanisms to review and retrieve conversations and discussions, team members are assured of uninterrupted coordination and kept in sync.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">File Sharing.</span> Like communication, the ability to share files, documents, data and all other forms of media is one of the most important features of collaboration software. Many groupware now carry robust document management systems, providing you and your team members a convenient means to share, access, view and retrieve files</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Content Creation.</span> Several all-in-one collaboration platforms offer content creation functionality that allows producing and publishing content both for internal and external audiences. This is useful for inbound marketing activities like creating blogs and informative content to attract new audience and enhance your business’ online presence.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Powerful Search.</span> Finding old files, previous conversation or past blog post are facilitated by the robust search feature of web based collaboration software. What was previously a time-consuming process, now you can use tags and search filters to find what you’re looking for in quickly and efficiently.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Personal and Group Calendars.</span> Keeping track of numerous meetings, events and other important matters that need your attention is a sure headache-inducer. Personal as well as group calendars are integral features in most collaborative platforms and mobile collaboration apps to help you and your team members stay attuned, involved and present at all times, wherever they may be.</li></ul>\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">What are the benefits of collaboration software? </h1>\r\nThere are a number of benefits of collaboration software that can result in more efficient and effective completion of tasks and goals. Understanding what does a collaboration software do will help you justify its implementation in your organization and bolster its adoption with your employees. The successful execution of good collaboration software will afford you many advantages. Why use collaboration software? Here are four good reasons why.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Save time</span> – Time is gold, and in a business that is tantamount to money. The more you save time, the more you save on unwanted expenses, and the better it is for your organization. Collaboration among employees makes possible the quicker completion of end goals that wouldn’t otherwise be achievable in other ways. Embracing collaboration methods cuts disparate, uncoordinated work on a particular project from different contributing members and saves not only time but also resources and efforts. If you are looking to cut costs on projects, collaboration software can help in that respect.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Enhance project management</span> – Keeping a handle on a project, a team and its members and their progress are never easy to work. Coordination and communication are of paramount importance if you want a project completed. Collaboration is one of the most optimal means to guarantee that you get the most out of your team. It opens lines of communication and makes sure everything is on track in order to avoid mistakes and confusion that can delay projects.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Strengthen team relationships</span> – One sure-fire way to build effective working relationships among employees is to have them work together to complete tasks and projects. Collaboration programs are designed to do that, making it easy for teams to work almost like a concerted unit with a singular purpose. This makes teams comfortable and confident in working with one another when it comes to completing common objectives.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Improve organization</span> – The process of keeping things and tasks in order has always been a problem for businesses. It is typical to lose track of what has been done and what needs to be done in project workflows simply because everything is a mess. Collaborative programs assist in maintaining order and managing the stages in workflows through open communication and coordination among concerned individuals and team.</li></ul>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Collaborative_Applications.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]}],"suppliedProducts":[],"partnershipProgramme":{"levels":[{"id":707,"level":"Partner"},{"id":709,"level":"Premier Partner"},{"id":1287,"level":"Distributor"}],"partnerDiscounts":{"Partner":"","Premier Partner":"","Distributor":""},"registeredDiscounts":{"Partner":"","Premier Partner":"","Distributor":""},"additionalBenefits":[],"salesPlan":{"Partner":"","Premier Partner":"","Distributor":""},"additionalRequirements":[]}}},"aliases":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"implementations":{"implementationsByAlias":{},"aliases":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"agreements":{"agreementById":{},"ids":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"comparison":{"loading":false,"error":false,"templatesById":{},"comparisonByTemplateId":{},"products":[],"selectedTemplateId":null},"presentation":{"type":null,"company":{},"products":[],"partners":[],"formData":{},"dataLoading":false,"dataError":false,"loading":false,"error":false},"catalogsGlobal":{"subMenuItemTitle":""}}
