LumSites encourages users’ feedback and collaboration: comments, communities, document sharing and notes. Social features transform the corporate platform into a collaborative workplace and tend to replace old ways of communication.
Collaboration, a key factor for success
Collaborative systems don’t have to be limited for internal use: to improve relationship with their ecosystem and generate synergies, companies may encourage external collaboration.
If users belong to communities where they can easily access the resources they need to build knowledge, they would be able to work together effectively and to quickly solve business issues.
Sharing in a private and secure environment
But to share information and interact with business partners, people need to be confident with the tool they are using and also to be able to share easily, the same way they do with Google tools. Two major points for the environment:
Flexible: share with different users or groups depending on the topic or the project they are working on, and from one unique place,
Secure: share any file without wondering if confidential data could be accessible by any other person that the ones they shared with.
LumSites communities
In LumSites, you can create several communities in one unique site. People can add posts with attachments, photos or Google documents, very simple.
Administrators can organize their site communities (and are not limited by the number of communities). For each community, they define:
the viewers : groups of users that will have permissions to see the community and its content,
the editors: groups of users that will have permissions to edit post on the community.
With this feature, build communities is straightforward: you create a group of member (specific project, department, partners, etc.) then you give permissions to this group to be active on the dedicated communities.
Learn how to use communities in LumSites in our video tutorial.
