As companies move towards aligning and streamlining real-time business processes with their suppliers, customers, and partners and choosing the technologies to support those processes, it becomes essential for users to collaborate in real-time, in order to speed decisions.

Nearly 80% of respondents to InformationWeek Research’s February 2003 Real Time Business report said collaborative business technologies will be key investments for 2003. However, as important as these investments in new collaborative technologies may be, they will be made in an environment of continuing IT budget constraints, and corporate culture obstacles. Businesses must now pay particular attention to metrics such as total cost of ownership and return on investment when considering these new technologies.

Join us for a one-hour Webcast and hear a panel of IT executives discuss the challenges and opportunities they've encountered, as well as the decision-making and evaluation processes that have led to successful real-time collaborative business across their extended enterprise.

Discussion topics include:

		Choosing how, when and where to implement real-time processes across the enterprise
		Overcoming corporate culture obstacles in implementing real-time business processes
		Strategies to improve speed and efficiency in streamlining data and processes
		Cost benefit analyses of collaborative technologies

Log on from your office and participate in this interactive Webcast on real-time collaborative business technologies.
