HOMMES & PROCESS launches a new Groove Workspace solution called Workspace Dashboard. Workspace Dashboard is dedicated to organizing and scheduling team projects within Microsoft Office SharePoint. Using a single dashboard, it also provides a social mapping tool allowing human resources departments to analyze social networks within their organizations.
Workspace Dashboard enables the creation of projects sites within SharePoint and can also generate templates for Microsoft Office Groove workspaces which will be used to coordinate and standardize online and offline collaboration.
The main site enables users to search for existing projects and easily view the most recent changes. A collaborator can join a project or create a new one when this is an authorized option. A new project involves the creation of a new SharePoint project site and new Groove Workspaces. The project manager will then be able to invite his/her team members, assign them roles and give them access to the SharePoint site or to the Groove workspace(s) or both.
Each project site allows working with documents, files and/or business forms. These data are synchronized in the corresponding Groove workspace. Also workspace member management can be handled by project: member invitations, role assignments, project access management.
According to the project requirements and defined user rights, a project member can work within the SharePoint project site or within Groove workspaces. When a project has terminated, it can be closed and archived. When needed, a project can be easily restored on request.
The Groove workspace reflects the content of the SharePoint site. It enables mobile and offline use. Additional tools are available if needed for mobile users.
The social mapping tool can help Human Resources departments identify the links between users, learn about who is working with whom, view the most successful projects and identify expert profiles within the organization. This kind of valuable information translated into graphical schemes can help make the right decisions when dealing with Human Resources.
A capacity planning functionality is available to help managers, analyze application use, plan the resources needed to make it work better and make sure users get the required service level at controlled costs.

Discover expert solutions by HOMMES & PROCESS to benefit from:
Trusted domain services permit the creation of managed Groove environments that can be customized for user teams that complies with corporate standards security policies.
Discover the advantages of the Trusted domain services
The HOMMES & PROCESS backup solutions assure that all Groove workspaces are properly backed up, allowing data recovery at any time. Groove users invite a backup agent into their workspaces in order to make sure they will be correctly backed up.
The challenge:
Make sure Groove users have invited or will invite the company’s backup agent into all existing workspaces.
The Backup Enforcer solution(1) eliminates the risk of omission as it checks the backup agent’s presence in each and every workspace. When Backup Enforcer does not find the backup agent in a workspace, it automatically sends an invitation to the domain’s backup agent.
IT administrators will be reassured knowing that all Groove data are correctly backed up thanks to the Backup Enforcer. Moreover, this makes for compliance to corporate policies while at the same time end users do not have to bother about backups.
Finally, HOMMES & PROCESS can help organizations implement and maintain their Groove backup infrastructure.

(1)Requirement: A Groove Backup Server must be already in place and a backup agent invited into each workspace.

Jean-Michel Davault and Fabrice Barbin, both MVP Groove experts, have recently co-signed an article published in the French IT magazine “IT-Expert” for its September / October edition 2009. The article entitled “Collaborative SI: centralized versus decentralized” deals with the advantages and limits of Centralized and Decentralized information systems. Following this analysis, both authors propose their conception of company information systems, allowing for a solution which balances usage and a company’s IT resource management.
Centralized architectures play an important role in the approach of business intelligence, in particular in the capitalization of strategic information within the company.
In contrast, decentralized information systems which are often more agile, allow a better reactivity and a better adequacy with the open and distributed aspects of companies (in particular for telecommuting workers, mobile collaborators and within environments with limited connectivity).
In the article, the authors make a point of noting that despite the advantages of centralized architectures, company information systems need to be more open and intelligent. New needs are emerging today, for tomorrow, aligning work and organizational trends: mobiles workers or dispersed collaborators in multiple sites, telecommuting workers, workers without enough network bandwidth work or unreliable connectivity, etc.
A decentralized information system adapts itself better to the changes linked to the economic fluctuations.
With a decentralized approach, users can immediately access pertinent and exploitable information even without a network connection.
From a technical and organizational point of view, this approach is interesting for mobile users. Indeed this model ensures information availability and resource continuity even if in case of a network problem, while securing the company data and its access (contribution, copyright, electronically certificate…). Moreover this approach leans on the matrix management model and not a hierarchical model.
But organization and coordination are necessary. In spite of its advantages the decentralized approaches present several limits:
Finally the article concludes on the complimentarily of the Microsoft collaborative solutions: Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Groove and Microsoft Services Online.
The complimentarily of this solution is a positive illustration of a mixed information system, allowing companies to improve its capacity of knowledge management in a strategic objective.
These technical solutions associated with HOMMES & PROCESS’s expertise allows possible global solutions, agile and efficient, linking up management requirements in the company and the best practices for the users and the collaborators.

The social networking takes a significant part in the web 3.0 phenomenon. They are many different profiles and their authors come from the all social strata. But we shall be reserved about this fact. Indeed, a sociology survey which reveals your “web appeal” by analyzing your habits in the social networks shows that the amount of private information available for a profile depends on the social background.
In summary, the global trend shows the degree of exhibition fluctuates accordingly to the social and cultural background. So people white collars would publish more personal information than the executives and the company managers. This behavior could be explained by a will to enlarge their network beyond their social background.
Indeed to build an efficient social network through the web, one must define his own objectives first, personal or professional, public or chosen network, uncontrolled or secured. Office Groove 2007 and SharePoint Workspace 2010 enable secure social networking for business for those who are looking for solutions that let them control their own data without compromises.
In the professional context, Microsoft Groove Office is a secured professional network which allows an efficient collaboration and interaction between business contacts and identified users.

HOMMES & PROCESS we propose solutions, a sum of both organizational and technical innovations, which help organizations improve their competitiveness during those hard times and get ready when better times are back.
Which are the expected scenarios to get out of the crisis?
Economists differentiate three possible scenarii to get out crisis:
The "V" Scenario: Growth is back immediately after the depression
Innovation is one of the key to stay ahead and prepare for the future, when it creates real value. However decision-makers ask themselves: “how do I do to invest in innovative solutions when jobs are in danger?”Is it worth investing in innovation during down times?
At HOMMES & PROCESS, besides helping organizations implement new technologies, we can help with change management for a smooth transition period and successful human implementation of new teamwork methods.
