e-Meetings & Virtual Classrooms

Effective Collaboration Across the Organization to Optimize Performance

Fully integrated in Softscape’s HCM Suite, e-Meetings provides sharable desktops, virtual classrooms, and instant messaging enabling employees and managers to more closely collaborate across different locations. e-Meetings facilitates real-time communications and enables virtual classrooms for distance learning activities.

By integrating the e-Meetings capability directly with Softscape’s HCM Suite, collaboration becomes a part of the ongoing development process, not a separate program or application that must be managed independently. This facilitates even greater team building as geographically disconnected employees can readily share information in real-time.

Desktop Sharing

Softscape’s e-Meetings provides users the ability to provide instant access to their application desktop. Without the need for downloads, e-Meetings provides the ability to schedule meetings or create them on-the-fly. Meeting hosts can share their desktop applications or can allow meeting participants the ability to share theirs. e-Meetings can be used for:

• Performance reviews – Managers and Employees can collaborate in goal and development planning
• Meeting collaboration – Meeting participants can share documents in progress with changes being made in real time
• IT Help desk –Users having problems with their desktop applications can show their desktop to IT staff

Virtual Classrooms

When used in combination with Softscape’s Learning Management System, e-Meetings provides the ability for organizations to conduct virtual training. This cost effective solution allows instructors engaged in distance learning activities to show expected results or to view students’ work in progress. Using standard internet cameras, classroom courses can be broadcast to remote offices and employees.

Instant Messaging

Instant Messaging (IM) provides secure and instant communications completely integrated as part of the Softscape Apex HCM platform. Softscape’s IM can be enabled exclusively through the Internet browser with no need for any additional downloads or client software. Softscape’s IM has been optimized to utilize minimum network bandwidth to maximize performance. As security is a prime concern for enterprises dealing with instant messenger applications, Softscape’s IM provides the several key security features:

• Can be instituted behind the corporate firewall to prevent misuse
• Does not allow for malicious attachments or scripts
• Provides for full logging and auditing of all IM chats and file transfers.
