The Scoop on 6 Popular Collaboration Platforms

Kramer VIA Collage

This wireless presentation solution offers connectivity for computers and mobile devices logging into a session over the wireless network or LAN. Users can share multiple screens simultaneously, with the exact number dependent on the number of available displays in the space. It also offers the ability for users to take control of the material on others’ devices.

This means the possibility of true collaboration because any user with permission can make changes or additions to a shared document. The system is reliant on network connectivity for all users because providing access to shared documents requires uploading them to a cloud.

While that might not seem like an issue in most instances, sometimes the simple ability to share materials simply, whether for presentation or collaboration, might be all the client wants. The Kramer solution does offer the sought-after ability to manipulate documents as a group, but keep in mind that in applications like Word, PowerPoint and Excel, there is still only one cursor to control. This means only one person at a time can do the actual editing.
