As-One also supplies the proper controls needed in a collaborative environment with administrative security features and check-in/check-out of work products. What As-One addresses in the market place: Communication always has been a fundamental problem, solution, threat, and opportunity in complex projects. Costly breakdowns in communications occur regularly even in the traditional world of collocated groups. Tools to aid in team collaboration are becoming more and more mission critical to organizations. Few teams today enjoy the luxury of physical collocation, and the challenge of sustaining communications is orders of magnitude more difficult. Work from home and/or satellite offices is increasing. Project teams are distributed over wide -areas or even over entire oceans. What needs to be emphasized is that electronic communication is not just a good idea, or a cost saving option, but a requirement for successful virtual operations. By far the greatest organizational pain today is a result of teams trying to accomplish virtual work using traditional communications methods: phone, mail and travel. Organizations lack the infrastructure to capture and circulate valuable information. Project teams are not sharing knowledge gained with other teams. Best practices and lessons learned should be easily communicated to interested team members. The bottom line is that it is difficult to create a learning organization if the project teams are not collaborating and sharing knowledge. The Internet is now the ultimate medium for project teams to collaborate and with a centralized approach can significantly increase the productivity of project teams. No matter where geography puts us, electronically, we can all be in the virtual room. And not just by necessity, but by choice.   As-One allows the capturing of actual information As-One is integrated with Email As-One insures that Project and organizational information remains centralized As-One provides the needed controls on a team collaboration environment   As-One allows the capturing of actual information associated with planned tasks from the everyday project events.
