Reinventing Web Collaboration

Web collaboration is a billion dollar business populated by some of the world’s most innovative companies.

It has produced software and services from some of the best minds in the industry.

So why on Earth would we say it needs to be re-invented ?

In our view, the entire industry is only focused on half the problem.

In our view, the entire industry is only focused on half the problem. And we think it is actually the least important half.

Let us explain:

2 There are two parts to great collaboration.

First, Structured Collaboration

Collaboration that happens at pre-arranged times or in pre-arranged places.

Typically there is a speciﬁc agenda.

Essentially, this is collaboration that happens within a meeting.

But, as we all know, meetings are often the bane of getting real work done.

Not only that, but they also disrupt the natural ﬂow and rhyth ms of work, and tend reduce pro to ductivity ra ther than e nhance it.

Yet this is where the entire web collaboration category is currently focused.

And instead of using technology to improve things... we may be using technology to amplify the problems.

™ started from a different place

Yugma can be used for structured collaboration... but it is actually best suited for the second type of collaboration

Fluid Collaboration

Fluid collaboration is the type of collaboration that tends to produce the greatest returns.

This is collaboration that takes place through small spontaneous interactions.

Collaboration that is spread out over time

Collaboration that happens anywhere

Collaboration that involves different people thinking about and working on the same thing in different ways.

Collaboration that happens when people are in sync, on the same page. Linked in thought

Ultimately, this type of collaboration is a state of being, rather than a physical or virtual space.

In fact that’s what Yugma means:

Yugma: s a state of AS anskrit word that describe ; a sharing of thought; togetherness onﬂuence. ness that res ults from a c the rich

And because of that, Yugma was built to work differently

Instead of being an intermittent application (like Webex or Go-To-Meeting)... Yugma has been designed to be a persistent application (like AIM or Skype). ™

Instead of being expensive and geared for corporations... Yugma makes collaboration affordable for individuals and business of all sizes.

Yugma works across platforms. Whether working on PC, Mac or Linux. Whether collaborating on the web, social networks or corporate internets. ™

And Yugma is easy enough for individuals to use. Without hours of training or the need for constant tech support.

Yugma allows you to share your thoughts and ideas as they happen.

Yugma breaks down monolithic, tedious and unproductive meetings into smaller, on-the-ﬂy interactions.

It enables ideas to be built upon over time and outside of a schedule.

Yugma was built to enhance how we naturally work... rather than asking us to adapt how we work to it.

Yugma brings together for the ﬁrst time, both structured collaboration and ﬂuid collaboration

And we think that changes the way you are able to work

who you work with

and what you are able to create.
