Team Collaboration Web Sites

eureka software has the experience to create a custom-designed collaborative web site for your team process. Communicate, share documents, and work together on a project using a custom-designed collaborative web site. Collaborative web sites provide an easy way to share a process with internal and external consultants and clients. Access controls such as password protection and user roles provide a secure work area. Separate sites can be configured for separate projects with links between for easy access to multiple project sites.

Using Microsoft Team Services technology a collaborative web site can be integrated with Microsoft Office 2003 products allowing contact lists to be directly exported to Outlook. Files can be edited and saved directly to document libraries out of Microsoft Word. This integration feature provides a more efficient work process and seamless communication with the collaborative site. Alerts can be created when a document is edited or deleted or a list has changed so users can perform their activities in a timely manner.

Features of a collaborative team site might include:

• Lists

• Libraries

• Discussion Boards

• Surveys

• Integration with client programs

• Site customization

• Security

eureka software designed and implemented two complimentary team websites to support the Nevada Irrigation District's relicensing process for the Yuba-Bear Hydroelectric Project. One site is a public web site and the other is a password protected team site for consultant-client communication and document sharing. The public web site contains documents that can be downloaded and viewed, a calendar of events, and lists for meeting summaries and correspondence. The team site contains document libraries for document sharing and collaboration, contact lists, and schedules.

SMUD's Upper American River Project Relicensing process was facilitated by a collaborative team site by providing team members access to relicensing documents throughout development of the Application for New License. User roles were assigned to control access and editing capabilities to certain documents. Because of the ability to view a team site in a web browser, the relicensing team was able to share documents with key external consultants and agencies. Workspaces for Application documents and the Settlement Negotiation Group were created to better compartmentalize a host of complex documents.
