Planning to purchase a set of collaboration tools to facilitate communication between your employees?

Evaluating tools that make it easier for a distributed team to meet, to stay in synch, and be more productive?

That's great news.

But what to buy?  A lot of companies sell collaboration solutions. But not all solutions are created equal.  Some meet very specific needs, but offer little flexibility.  For instance, video conferencing systems that can be used only by people in rooms with specific endpoints.

To help outline what to consider at this critical stage -before making a purchase -we created a simple infographic.

Check out the top considerations. Review your needs. Then you can make a more informed decision about a collaboration solution. Get the right foundation to support growth, accommodate user needs across functions, work with a diverse set of devices, and be easy for IT to manage.
