A conferencing application that is quickly growing in popularity is collaborating at a distance. A small number of people work together on the same document or spreadsheet on their screen, which can be adjusted instantaneously (in real-time). All are equal in role.

Examples
Examples of collaborating at a distance from daily practice are going over tenders, text compilation or adjustment or consulting other people. Say, for example, you are working with your colleague on a client’s tender. You wish to submit the result directly to your client and you want to be able to highlight specific aspects. Collaborating at a distance means you will not have to leave your desk. Or, you are reviewing a proposal for a new brochure with a copywriter. Adjustments are immediately processed and the result is directly visible. You will be able to make decisions on the final text quicker and you will prevent misunderstandings.

People who work at home
The services that KPN has to offer for collaboration are perfect for people who work at home. This way they can remain fully committed to the organization. Collaboration at a distance allows those people to contact each other frequently and intensively. They actually become co-workers in a virtual office.
