A social product development strategy cuts through all the hype.  We assess the current collaboration capabilities and deliver practical solutions for obtaining maximum product development efficiency from social collaboration tools.

• Software as a Service (SaaS) strategy. Closely related to Social Product Development is SaaS. Google Apps for Business or Microsoft 360 for example, can provide 50% potential gains in employee productivity, 35% annual reduction in total IT costs and 10% reduction in operational and supplychain costs.
