The "Bolt-on Method" is the common way businesses approach their project needs.

 The business employs different systems for the many functions of their company.

 The systems require information to be duplicated in several different places.

 The IT Department "bolts" these systems together to be able to share this information.  It is laborious and needs to consistently evolve.

This is "sharing", NOT Collaboration. Notice how users sit apart from the information.

The problem further compounds as businesses work with other companies.  This "Band-Aid Approach" tries to piece everything together inefficiently. 

 Users are outside of the many collaborative circles which are now plastered together.

 External servers record traffic flow but the QA is still the responsibility for each internal organisation.

The ProjectCentre Approach. ProjectCentre turns the process inside out.

 There is only one version of information and it is in the centre where everyone can access it at anytime.

 All users sit inside of the collaborative circle.

 ProjectCentre becomes the meeting place.  It provides the communications, document control, finance & reporting in the centre where everyone meets and works together.

TRUE COLLABORATION
