Mastering the challenges of collaboration in distributed teams
Efficient communication is essential for productivity in companies. Especially when working in distributed teams or at different locations, there is a risk that not all employees receive all relevant information. Due to the large number of communication channels, it is often difficult to find important information and conversations or make them available to everyone. With CONTACT's Activity Stream, you can eliminate these barriers. You can easily provide information on specific objects, such as documents or topics, and discuss them within the team without leaving the context or the system.
Benefits of Activity Stream
- Tailored delivery of information across the entire company
- Targeted distribution of information with contextual reference
- Automatically distribute or subscribe to topic-related information centrally
- Inspire employees with outstanding user experience
- Provide an appropriate working environment for product development

Share information with contextual reference

With the Activity Stream, your team can quickly and easily create or comment on context-related posts and share objects. Employees are able to participate in product-related discussions, share information on components or provide project information directly in the context of a product, project, assembly or other object. Via Tagging, you address individual employees or groups directly. This saves time and ensures that information remains where it is needed: directly in relation to the specific object.

Centrally distribute or subscribe to topic-based information
You can set up automatic subscriptions to provide your teams with project-, department- or task-specific information using roles and affiliations. Your employees can subscribe to additional themed channels as required. All posts are personalized and listed in My Stream. A summary of activities is also available as an email. Important events relating to subscribed objects are automatically logged and displayed in the Activity Stream - for example, when a document is released or a milestone is reached.
