We developed novel approaches to help enterprises in order to boost collaboration, communication and innovation.

2. Most companies start in small-size...

3. After a while, they become bigger and bigger...

4. So what does it happen when an enterprise /
organization / a company grows and grows?!

5. When companies grow, people have the
same affiliation, but usually do not know
what exactly their colleagues are carrying
out!

6. Small units in a big company are mostly
isolated and not aware of the ongoing
stuff in other units!

7. The problem gets more visible, when a
newcomer (i.e. Alice) joins the company...

8. „Who can help me on this topic? Shall I go to
each desk and ask some questions?“, Alice
asks herself.

9. Obviously not! Possible replies:
– Sorry, I do not know!
– Sorry, I am busy!
– Sorry, ask Bob please!

10. Thus, any potential collaboration remains
always potential!

11. Besides such drawbacks in collaboration,
these issues make communications more
difficult as well!
A simple example follows...

12. • Everybody reads news, articles, papers,
tweets, emails ...
• Everybody listens to podcasts, news ...
• Everybody watches video clips ...
And suddenly someone (e.g. Bob) finds
something interesting.

13. „Hey, I found an interesting news related to
marketing. With whom I have to share
this news? Is anybody interested? Shall I
send an email to all people?“, Bob asks
himself!

14. No! Becasue of Information overload issues: We
all get lots of news, tweets, emails, blog posts,
announcements, etc. that might not be
relevant to us!

15. „OK, fine! I will not send an email to all people
and keep this news private!“, Bob whispers.

16. Well... That is not also good! Because of
information shortage issues: People don‘t
want to miss interesting links, relevant news
and announcements.

17. „OK, OK! Then what should I do?“, Bob asks us!

18. Our interviews showed that most medium-to-
large organizations have such collaboration
and communication problems!

19. • Such problems exist, due to tons of reasons,
such as:
– Some people are not social and/or do not
talk a lot and/or are shy, etc.!
– Some people seem to be 24/7 busy!
– Most people do not keep current profiles!
– People are distributed!
– People forget about stuff!
– Not all people use the same
communication and social channels (e.g.,
twitter, group lunch, etc.)
– And many many other reasons...

20. Such reasons are natural and common, but
should not obstruct collaborations and
communications!

21. If you still wonder why such problems are
important … or…
Why we should boost intra-collaboration and
communication … or…
Why we should connect employees properly …

22. • The answer is simple! Because of lots of various
reasons, such as:
– Employees could unintentionally duplicate the
same tasks!
– These issues make people more isolated in
small groups!
– These issues could kill innovation and
motivation in short- and long-term!
– The company is losing time and budget
• How much? Look at next slides!

23. So how much? Let‘s talk cash!

24. • Imagine a company with 150 employees
• And each employee loses at minimum 10
minutes, because of communication problems:
• 3 € per day per employee
• >450 € per day
• >10,000 € per month
»>120,000 € per year
»… half a million …
»… more

25. So these issues are more than important!

26. How to solve such problems?

27. How to save costs and time?

28. • To address these issues, let‘s summarize them in
three main bullet points
– Employees do not know who the potential
candidates for collaboration in specific areas
with relevant expertise are.
– Employees do not know who is working with
whom on what topic in various units.
– Moreover, they want to damp information
overload and information shortage and bring
less overhead for their colleagues.

29. To adderss these challenges, we developed
novel approaches: Conterprise Solutions

30. Our approaches are (semi-)automated. Thus, as
minimum overhead as possible for users!

31. As all know, most enterprises / organizations /
companies use and keep documents, such as
reports, deliverables, white papers, blue
prints, presentations, source codes, etc.

32. We apply some techniques on such documents,
extract meaningful expertise, and build
uptodate expertise profiles for users
automatically!

33. Our hypothesis is that everybody has
acquired some expertise in the past that
could boost collaboration and innovation,
if unleashed!

34. Thus, we help users to find out what their
colleagues’ expertise is and whether they
could be potential candidates for professional
collaboration!

35. No worries… we care about privacy and
security as well!

36. We provide intuitive and user-friendly interfaces
(e.g. see below) that enable the employees to
look for the colleagues with relevant
expertise.

37. We also extract the latent professional network
among personnel automatically!

38. Thus, helping users to find out who is
collaborating with whom on what topic!

39. We visualize the latent social networks (e.g. see
below) among personnel, in order to enable
them to immediately grasp intra-communities.

40. We also benefit from wisdom of crowds …

41. That means the employees help us to improve
our algorithms and approaches automatically!
Moreover, it is proven that it is fun to do such!

42. We further utilize the extracted information to
damp information overload and information
shortage issues …

43. Besides professional relationships, we also take
into account the social relationships, in order
to make our information filtering approach
intuitive and as close as possible to real-life …

44. We build automatically like/dislike profiles for
the employees and we use them to control
information flow taking into account user
feedback.

45. Conterprise solutions boost collaborations,
communications and innovations intra-
organizations and enterprises.
