IBM has launched an easy-to-use interactive assessment tool that -- in only 10 minutes -- can help you compare your company’s collaboration practices with the strategies, capabilities and technologies used by companies in your industry with best-in-class performance.

The IBM Collaboration Assessment Tool is a complimentary diagnostic tool designed to help you and your organization:
• Assess your current collaboration practices
• Define the business benefits of integrating a collaboration solution including the value of connecting clients, employees and business partners to drive new revenue opportunities
• Improve customer satisfaction, enhance operational efficiency and more

This interactive assessment provides quantitative results based on Aberdeen Group’s primary research of over 450 organizations. By aligning the adoption of key value-added differentiators with organizational performance in current business metrics, this assessment identifies your organization’s current ability to maximize the value of enterprise collaboration and social business solutions.

Recognizing that the value of collaboration is different for each industry, the tool focuses on four industries: Banking, Insurance, Health Care and Government, and provides a general track for all other industries.

By answering a series of questions, you will be able to compare your company’s own strategic approach, tactics and selection of technology solutions against those of top-performing industry peers, and will understand where you are performing well and where there may be room for improvement -- all based on third-party research conducted for IBM by the Aberdeen Group. Upon completion of the assessment survey, you will be able to view your scorecard report instantaneously, or to request that it be sent to you via e-mail.

Your customized report will help you:
• Understand the effectiveness of your existing collaboration practices and approach, and compare it to best-in-class organizations within your industry
• Identify the collaboration enablers that can transform your organization into a best-in-class organization
• Build a collaboration software strategy, or enhance a current roadmap plan, using recommendations from your customized scorecard report, including achievable ROI
