Building ROI From Your Investment in HighQ Collaborate

During our forum in 2013 we established that many of our clients buy HighQ Collaborate to address just one single issue of challenge, despite the flexibility of the platform. Our clients said that for them the top five use cases for Collaborate were the following:

75% use HighQ Collaborate for secure file sharing
64% use it for team collaboration
64% use it for secure client extranets
57% use it for virtual data rooms
50% use Collaborate for client knowledge sharing
It’s now the end of January 2014 and all but the last few clients have upgraded to Collaborate 3 and importantly all those clients quickly realised that HighQ Collaborate wasn’t a one trick pony and could add tremendous value to their orgnaisation. Whether our clients purchased HighQ Collaborate for secure file transfer, a white label dataroom, or to provide the latest generation of extranets to their clients, all have realised the untapped potential of their investment.

Since upgrading to Collaborate 3 our clients are slowly coming to understand is that we’ve been working very hard behind the scenes bringing together a blend of those consumer grade solutions to the enterprise, a mobile optimised platform, an awesome user experience and that we’ve had you, the clients, in our thoughts along the way. The majority of us at HighQ have worked in or for law firms before. We know the challenges you face and importantly we are building solutions to help you address them. Read More

Seven Ways Group Tasks Help You Keep Track of Projects

You might be working on multiple projects at once, working on one with multiple components, or maybe just working on a small project – either way, having a place to keep your thoughts organised, keep your team up to date, and to use as a reference point for information is invaluable. The Tasks module in HighQ Collaborate is a useful tool for organising your project and keeping your group tasks on track.

No matter what you’re working on or how many people you’re working with, here are seven ways group tasks will help with your projects:

1. Tasks help you keep track of what you and your team members are doing

All tasks stay visible within your team’s collaboration site, which means that you can always keep an eye on the status of your own tasks and those of colleagues and team members. As the task list is collaborative, everyone can see and add to task lists, and it is easy to quickly see overdue tasks, and filter tasks by assignee or due date. When tasks have been completed, they appear on the task list marked as complete, so it is easy to see what has been done and what is outstanding.

2. Tasks keep all relevant information in one place

What is so great about using group tasks to organise projects is the ability to keep everything associated with the project in one place. You can attach files to tasks and link to wiki pages and blog posts which makes it even easier to carry out the task once you start. If you assign a task to someone else, you can attach all the relevant information that they will need to complete it. Read More
