To enable efficient cross-organizational teamwork with all participating members, including top institutions like Trinity College, Dublin City University\u00a0and Dublin Institute of Technology, CONNECT has created a shared online workspace in Projectplace. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Together with 37 industry partners, CONNECT will be a foundation in Irish research and innovation in telecommunications networks, boosting\u00a0the development of wireless, cellular, 5G and IoT technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the large number of organizations involved in the project, and the need to secure sensitive information, collaboration was identified as a key challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout the use of an effective communications platform, we ran the risk of ending up with disparate teams, working independently without any type of cross collaboration between institutions,\u201d said Dr. Frank Smyth, Executive Director, CONNECT. \u201cOur operations are quite unique with so many organizations involved in different projects. We needed one platform that would bring all elements of the projects together, and that can be used by the entire CONNECT organization from the research team, through to operations and HR.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CONNECT selected ProjectPlace  after carrying out extensive research into the different collaboration and\u00a0<a title=\"Learn more about ProjectPlace  's project management tools\" href=https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/products\/projectplace\/projectplace-features\/ target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">project management tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re phasing out mailing lists and moving all communications onto Projectplace,\u201d said Smyth. \u201cWe have very quickly come to realize that ProjectPlace  serves the most value when everyone uses it, as it enables everyone working on a project to have complete visibility over who is doing what and when. The biggest benefits it offers are that it helps teams work seamlessly together and makes everyone feel like they\u2019re under the same roof.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Online meeting rooms now enable teams to come together in a virtual environment, further facilitating cross country project collaboration, planning and execution amongst CONNECT\u2019s expected 300 ProjectPlace  users.<\/p>\n<p>Another issue CONNECT needed to address was how to manage and collaborate on documents in a secure way. \u201cIt can get extremely messy when you have 30 or 40 people updating the same document, leading to chaos,\u201d said Smyth.<\/p>\n<p>By storing documents in the cloud, all members and partners can easily manage projects and securely share and edit documents in Projectplace\u2019s top rated encrypted environment without the need to interlink their organization\u2019s IT systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProjectplace\u2019s clean and simple design allows us to effortlessly share and collaborate on documents, without having to worry about version control. In addition, it ensures that every partner organization we work with has a safe and highly secure location where they can share their documents and files with relevant team members, without running the risk of them being viewed by unauthorized users.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CONNECT Centre for Future Networks\u00a0has been founded to drive telecom innovations in Ireland.
