Examples


Sambac Energy

Each company that participated in Sambac had their own technologies and tools. In most cases, the two firms had (by chance) chosen the same tools. However, the e-mail systems were different. This created many problems in interfaces. Custom interfaces were created by each company to share the e-mail messages. It was not effective since the software changed with new versions.

In this difficult situation, the approach was taken at Sambac to use Yahoo Mail. Yahoo is one of the most widely used free e-mail systems. This worked out quite well. Even today, the same solution is being used. The internal politics and bickering were avoided.

Whitmore Bank

Whitmore deployed new offices into a region. Each office had its own unique issues. However, with the use of templates, issues, and lessons learned in groupware, the implementation period was reduced by 30% as later offices learned from experiences of the earlier offices.
