Application sharing allows people in different locations to collaborate on a single document at the same time through web-based conferencing tools. It saves time and money by eliminating the need for travel and allows for easy document editing and approval. The tool is easy to use and can be uploaded to a company’s internal system.
Application sharing is a business tool that allows people on different sites to collaborate on a single document at the same time. Sharing remote access of this type normally involves the use of some type of web-based conferencing tool that allows one individual to have ultimate control of the session, but with the ability to grant privileges to each participant to work on the document in question. Depending on the type of platform used, all conference participants may need to download some type of collaborative software to join. More often, the application sharing function is managed through software that resides on the provider’s server, with the document and the changes made during the meeting saved on the hard disk of the person who acts as meeting moderator.
One of the main benefits of application sharing is that you don’t need to bring key people from a number of different locations together in one site to work on a common document. This means that if you need salespeople or others within the company to work together on preparing a proposal for a prospective client, setting up a web-based conference and using the application sharing tool makes it easy for everyone to contribute to the document at the same time. The conference moderator allows each participant access to the document, making it easy to upload and insert photos, sections of text, or even edit existing text. All changes and updates are saved in the original document which resides on the hard drive of the computer used by the moderator to log in and start the conference session.
From this point of view, application sharing can save a lot of time and money. There is no need to incur travel expenses when working on a document. Plus, no time is wasted when it comes to creating, refining, and finally completing the document. This can be especially important when a document needs to be prepared at very short notice, when that document needs to be reviewed, edited and approved by staff located in different locations.
Application sharing is an extremely easy tool to use. Generally, anyone who has worked with any type of spreadsheet or word processing document will have no problem participating in this type of group collaboration. In addition to using this tool during a web conferencing session that is started on a provider platform, there are also application sharing tools that can be uploaded to a company’s internal system, allowing anyone with access rights to the project to participate without having to leave their individual workstations.
