Some companies opt for suites because of the new functionality they provide. John I. Haas Inc., a Washington-based producer of hops used in beer manufacturing, moved from multivendor systems to Oracle Corp.'s Oracle Collaboration Suite in 2003 because the company wanted to cost-effectively add Web conferencing and wireless e-mail access.
"It's easier to do Web conferencing because it's built into the suite, and we can schedule meetings and have [the meeting information] shown on calendars," says Kyle Lambert, vice president of information solutions. Lambert says the tool is proving to be vital as John I. Haas relies more on Web conferencing to make product presentations to customers and for employee collaboration, training and document sharing.
The suite also makes it easier for employees to locate shared files, Lambert says, because they're accessible from a single Oracle database used with the messaging product. "We don't have to hunt in multiple locations and servers to find information," he says. This is especially useful for employees who spend a lot of time on the road and need easy access to files, says Lambert.
