Zusammenfassung vom Kontext und den Gesamtzielen des Projekts

The change from static intranet to enterprise social networks and digital workspaces is a reality, and they will become the primary communication tool in companies over the next few years. According to IDC, as organizations are increasingly interested in reducing their amounts of daily emails sent – up to disappear in some cases -. Time spent on the search for information decreases productivity by 25-30% and implies around 500bn€ loss per year.
