[June 15, 2009] Our team has a further good reason to celebrate. Exactly 10 years after the "deep flash of inspiration" for a complete "Real-Time Change Empowerment System" and more than seven years after launching the first version of the OpenSpace-Online® Real-Time Collaboration Technology, we can offer our worldwide customers from business and society the new OpenSpace-Online® 3.0 version. Especially larger companies and larger organizations will benefit from the enhancement of our "Do-it-yourself conference system".
What makes the OpenSpace-Online® Version 3.0 special?
While the last version update was mainly to methodically round off the virtually-led OpenSpace-Online® Real-Time Collaboration Methodology, the development of version 3.0 is essentially about the "Do-it-yourself optimization" of the complete OpenSpace-Online® Licensing System. Especially larger, peripheral operating companies and organizations from business and society, who usually have extensive security architectures, will especially benefit from the expanded, easy and comfortably to use business solution. The development of version 3.0 again contributes to priming the clear DO-IT-YOURSELF EMPOWERMENT unique selling points of the OpenSpace-Online® Real-Time Collaboration Technology. Version 3.0 is now available to all conference organizers of single OpenSpace-Online® Conferences and all licensees interested in hosting an unlimited number of conferences. Incidentally, organizations only passing on only one business group trip to hold a face-to-face meeting, have saved far more than the costs of a multi-year license for the 100% autonomous hosting of an unlimited number of OpenSpace-Online® real-time conferences during a special license period and are then only starting to utilize the potential of our all-purpose technology.
What makes OpenSpace-Online® a worldwide unique technology?
With the implementation of our innovation an extensive vision became reality: OpenSpace-Online® is the first and only worldwide unique DO-IT-YOURSELF REAL-TIME COLLABORATION SYSTEM which any person and every organization worldwide can use 100% autonomously on a methododically structured real-time basis to initiate and organize various learning, innovation, decision-making, participation and chance process, with small or large groups, immediately providing all attendees with an instantly downloadable result documentation. All OpenSpace-Online® system elements and user models belong to a completely coordinated "Do-it-yourself Empowerment" concept. The heart of the OpenSpace-Online® system is the real-time conference software which can be used by young and old without prior technical knowledge and without the help of third parties. No advertisements, with privacy protection and advanced encoding, so protected from outside eyes, it guides small and large groups through a professionally structured real-time exchange and work process step-by-step with high intuition, using a virtual conference facilitator. This process allows dedicated and meaningful dialogues for various aspects of the conference main theme and lifts the collective knowledge of the entire group to solve important questions in an efficient and joyful way. But that’s not all. The following link will provide you with more information about the distinct features and the versatile benefit aspects of our technology.
In addition OpenSpace-Online® is a highly complementary tool which continues to be used anew with long-term success with groups, always for current occasions within the most diverse context, individually as well as before and after various online and offline activities. The high level of autonomy, flexibility, speed and data integrity offers various benefits and long-term effects: expanding self-organization, increasing change competence and independence, significantly minimizes planning, organizing, time, travel and energy costs, quickly raising the collective knowledge, highly motivated and up-to-date cooperation, immediate documentation of results, longer lasting decision-making processes and seamless further processing worldwide. OpenSpace-Online® further opens a new dimension of an "holistic return on investment" – a balance between value-centered economy, social responsibility and trend-setting ecology.
Training, instruction, internal or external online moderators are NOT required. During OpenSpace-Online® Real-Time Conferences, the participants themselves are the experts. They meet due to interest for the respective topic, create an up-to-date workshop agenda on topics that really matter together, discuss various important aspects in simultaneous and successive workshops, and mutually develop new ideas and solutions regarding the subject of the conference based on their knowledge, their questions, and their commitment. Nobody is required to jump back and forth between different tools throughout the collaboration. All participants are in the same “conference center” at the same time. The virtual conference facilitator COMOSO and the clearly structured real-time process ensure excellent navigation. Trust in the process is gained very quickly. The internet technology quickly takes a back seat and opens the floor to what’s essential in a unique way: a high focus on the topic, constructive and appreciative cooperation, brainstorming, group and individual discussions, focus on result, networking and, if desired, weighting topics and agreeing on the next steps. At the close of an OpenSpace-Online® Real-Time Conference each participant receives detailed conference documentation at the push of a button. The documentation provides the perfect basis for seamless further processing, since it contains all the contents, results, agreements and contact information worked out during the event and can immediately be used for further processing, digitally as well as in print.
