"Inspired by the human side of data"

Today's information economy is built on data - terabytes of data contained in millions of documents that are generated by millions of knowledge workers.

The Internet-age also mandates that in most cases, these documents have to be shared across multiple people - people who might not always be in the same physical location.

While e-mail was a satisfactory, first-pass mechanism to share information across geographical boundaries, it's store-and-forward asynchronous nature pushed people towards looking for real-time alternatives.

However, most real-time collaboration/web conferencing products in the market rely on crude screen-sharing techniques and are inevitably unreliable and difficult to use.

Until now...

InstaColl Overview

InstaColl is a powerful Instant Collaboration solution that is unlike any other real-time collaboration/web conferencing tool in the market.

In essence, InstaColl is not a new collaboration product - instead, InstaColl extends familiar mainstream desktop productivity tools such as the Microsoft Office suite into rich, interactive platforms that allow users to present, review and edit their documents, spreadsheets and presentations collaboratively with remotely-located colleagues.

Most people have experienced web conferencing and real-time collaboration as a formal session where a set of pre-designated people arrive at a predetermined time and share pre-decided documents and information along a scripted agenda. InstaColl believes that these collaboration occasions are only a small subset of the collaboration that goes on in organizations - where a majority of collaboration opportunities emerge in a spontaneous and on-demand manner. InstaColl is made to support a wide range of ad-hoc, spontaneous collaboration opportunities where users can initiate a session on a spur.

InstaColl adopts a data-centric model where only the data is shared with the applications running locally on individual desktops. This ensures that bandwidth requirements are very low and even dial-up users can experience InstaColl and users can collaborate even if their operating system or application versions are different.

InstaColl's hybrid peer-to-peer/client-server architecture promises low latency and 100% connectivity. InstaColl allows for seamless collaboration between people inside and outside the firewall, without having to reconfigure the firewall to allow outsider access, which is time-consuming and presents security risks.

InstaColl makes it extremely easy to meet online. Your invited attendees will easily join your sessions in minutes because no pre-loaded software is required and no configuration is necessary; they participate as your guests, at no cost to you or them. Start InstaColling online today!
