US Government Customer Statements II

“Felix, I do not think you will have problems selling your product once people figure it out. Your product completes IBM Connections. As you say in your marketing material it provides the top-down communication that overlays IBM Connections so that the employee has no other place to attend to. They get the top down via your product and the bottom up via IBM Connections. Employees do not have to go anywhere else, everything is in one place.”

Customer Statement"VAUDE has had an conventional intranet with a web content management system. It worked OK for our internal communications. However, the content from line of business outdated / decayed quickly. We were therefore looking for an alternative Intranet platform.

As a medium sized company we wanted to avoid running multiple platforms for communication and collaboration. We were searching for an integrated or hybrid intranet platform that spans collaboration, knowledge management and internal communications.

IBM Connections convinced us as a superior collaboration and knowledge management platform. The Web Content Management Extension (XCC) from TIMETOACT neatly integrates internal communications into IBM Connections.”

Customer Statement“We created an ideal information architecture that seamlessly integrates internal communications and collaboration in an hybrid Intranet. Our new Intranet has been perceived very well by our employees. As it turned out, the integrated internal communications simplifies and accelerates the adoption of IBM Connections withinthe employees. The Web Content Management Extension can be adopted to changing requirements easily. Line of business appreciates the simplicity with which they can create and curate content to maintain their landing pages.

Throughout the project we worked with TIMETOACT for analysis, conception, consulting, customization and implementation. All work was achieved within the agreed budget. Our experiences with TIMETOACT were excellent and we can fully recommend working with TIMETOACT."

With XCC the launch of IBM Connections was much more effective. The XCC based Intranet landing pages are a communication channel to our managers and simplify onboarding of our employees to IBM Connections. XCC has increased acceptance of our Intranet and is an indispensable tool for us.

XCC drives IBM ConnectionsThere have been some pilot projects with IBM Connections in the last two years, but the general acceptance was low. Only a small minority of knowledge workers were using it regularly.

In 2015 we launched IBM Connections with XCC for the whole company. XCC enabled us to transform IBM Connections in a real intranet platform for everyone. The “for all effect” is amazing. Our intranet is now entirely used for both: Collaboration and Internal Communications.

The relaunch of IBM Connections with XCC was a big bang, an absolute success. XCC gave us the push we needed. Now IBM Connections is widely adopted from Management to accountants.

I wish we had initially launched IBM Connections with XCC from the very beginning, that would have made things much easier.

After only 90 minutes training, even our IT layman were able to create great landingpages for their departments. That’s absolutely incredible!
