Why a digital collaboration platform?

At the end of 2022, eSam presented the results of the Digital Collaboration Platform project, also known as dSam. They have been working on developing options and proposals for legal and appropriate collaboration tools. It became clear that there are challenges in creating a common user experience when it comes to digital tools.

As with all productivity tools, such as chat, video conferencing and document management, they need to be put into context to achieve maximum impact. Otherwise, they risk becoming digital islands that divide rather than unite employees. A common user experience is simply a must to meet tomorrow's demands for digital collaboration.

New tools for collaboration

The main reason for acquiring new digital collaboration tools is to have tools that are GDPR-secure and that meet the regulatory requirements of the public sector. As it has been difficult to find alternative legal services, there are organisations that lack certain digital tools.

In addition to the challenge of finding legal alternative services, the digital world of work has changed with the pandemic. More and more workplaces have become hybrid, which places higher demands on collaborative tools. Time is money and therefore new effective digital tools are needed. The focus should be on collaboration and not messing with technology.
