"Office 2010 is faster, more stable, and easier to learn and use than any system I’ve tried. To anyone considering deploying Office 2010, I’d say do it now. You’ll be amazed by what you can do.” Dmitry Kazimir, project manager, 3DreamTeam LLC With a focus on creating interactive virtual worlds, Russia-based 3DreamTeam LLC holds innovative software and applications in high esteem. But the company leaders aren’t impressed by cutting-edge technologies unless they provide valuable tools that help employees deliver better solutions, faster to the company’s growing client base. 3DreamTeam’s core competency centers on creating three-dimensional property and building models that help its clients— which range from property owners to architectural firms—conceptualize their proposed infrastructure designs. Its mission is to help its clients instantly spot changes they’d like to make before construction—saving time and money. This balance between using progressive technologies and keeping costs in check is what drives company leaders to seek out new ways to enhance team collaboration, improve organization, and streamline everyday processes so employees can continue delivering the best solutions to their clients on time and on budget. By deploying Microsoft® Office 2010, 3DreamTeam was able to accomplish just that. With tools that enable users to work together more effectively, communicate with clients more efficiently, and accomplish more in less time, the company was able to find an innovative solution that aligned with its vision. Business Needs The company’s employees lacked a way to work in tandem on projects, and employees found it difficult to update and complete extremely large documents, as they had to send revisions back and forth or take turns uploading revised Microsoft Word documents to the company’s Microsoft SharePoint® site. Employees also received hundreds of emails per day, and having to manually organize them by conversations made it difficult to spot the most recent message or respond to clients as quickly as they would have liked. Even scheduling meetings among employees and clients required the tedious process of emailing availability back and forth to establish a time that worked for everyone. Solution To overcome these challenges, the company leaders turned to Office 2010. New co-authoring tools* transformed the sequential editing and updating process with Word 2010 into a collaborative effort in which employees could work concurrently on documents and complete them faster. Enhanced email organization features helped employees more effectively manage correspondence and quickly respond to client messages. In addition, advanced scheduling tools provided more efficient ways to coordinate schedules, enabling employees to spend less time scheduling meetings and more time accomplishing business-critical tasks.
