Smart ways to extend your enterprise collaboration solutions by integrating intelligent instant apps.
A quick look at how enterprises can use intelligent instant apps to break down the barriers, bringing together external suppliers, customers and employees to solve difficult business problems.
In the past we’ve covered how to use Intelligent Instant Apps to help improve the way you can interact with people, process and transact, and generally get important things done.
So how does this fit into the enterprise space?
The are many large incumbent solutions focussed around collaboration, like IBM Connections, which has been a leader in the space… well, since the space existed. Add to this IBM Watson Workspace, the smart new kid on the block, which is like a smart version of Slack and other conversation-centric tools.
Rather than try to compete with these products, Buzzy integrates to help businesses extend these awesome platforms outside of traditional organizational boundaries to achieve amazing things.
Here’s an example: ACME Inc is a furniture manufacturer facing the challenge of getting 300+ container shipments to 100+ customers across the globe each year.
In the demo below, we’ll show how Paul (the supplier in Asia) uses a Buzzy app on his phone to keep Gloria (US based ACME Inc employee/IBM Connections user) in the loop and ensure that Samantha (ACME Inc Purchasing Agent) can keep Raoul (customer in Europe) up-to-date on where the shipment is.
Note, this is just one shipment — now imagine 300+ each year… Phew!!!
Please watch the follow video for a demo of this in action:
This is just one example of how intelligent instant apps can help organisations extend collaboration beyond their own team boundaries.
There are literally hundreds of scenarios where instant apps can help businesses… and never enough time, money or resources to build them. That’s why with Buzzy we’re focussed on allowing citizen developers to create these apps and deploy them into production in minutes.
With just a few clicks you can can enable your IBM Connections Cloud environment and start creating apps from the 50+ templates or from scratch (see this article on how to enable Buzzy in the Connections Catalog).
Buzzy also works with IBM Connections on Premise too — contact us for details on how to deploy, or visit our website for more info.
But wait there’s more — we’re making beta access to our IBM Watson Workspace app available while we wait for it to be published to the IBM Watson Workspace catalog. This will allow you to a) Single Sign On (SSO) with IBM Watson Workspace to Buzzy and b) create custom actions. To access, enable the Buzzy app for your IBM Watson Workspace: https://workspace.ibm.com/enableApp?shareToken=7ab05ed0-a36b-4e44-9746-b70b36981eb5
