We collaborate with others most of time in a context but since the result of the collaboration is not captured contextually it gets lost. A collaboration platform should integrated collaboration tools with contextual applications

2. Collaboration is a continuous process that
shifts through different modalities such
as video conferencing, chat, messaging
etc. within one single context such as
engineering development, support etc.
A consummate collaboration solution must
provide a way to seamlessly integrate all of
these modalities in one contextual thread for
the purpose of continuity and analytic

3.  A typical Business process consists of a starting point, several
sequential activities, and an endpoint. People typically use a
combination of one or more collaborative tools -- Email, IM, Audio,
TelePresence, Web, Teamspaces etc. and are required to collate
information exchanges over all these modalities to ultimately
accomplish a single task
 This proposal serves to stitch these scattered communication
episodes into a single Collaboration- Thread and puts the
“Collaboration into Context” by auto connecting the dots in order
to create a continuous Collaboration Stream that can be augmented,
resumed, archived or analyzed to help drive optimal business
results.
 Organizations can derive productivity boosts by shifting the burden
of maintaining the context of that user’s activity from the user’s
mind, into a Collaboration Application which will build a complete
context for the user. Now the users can be free to focus on task at
hand rather than getting distracted to gather a context to
accomplish their task.

4.  Context is a collaboration space where ideas
exchanged over one modality can be
augmented in other
 It keeps the history so that collaboration
information streams can be connected and
analyzed in-context
 It provides a way to fuse reactive thoughts of
a real-time modality with the reflective
thoughts of a non-real-time modality

5.  Use “Enterprise Social Network” as relationship fabric
 Integrate real time AV conferencing, chat and screen
share soln. which can be launched from a context
 Context is a framework for building collaboration
applications
Real-time collaboration can be augmented by non-
real time “comments and reply” mechanism on
conference transcript associated with the context
 Analytic on collaboration data collected within a
context to understand contextual metrics
