Analysis, comparison and recommendation of major collaborative OA products in the Chinese market

Some enterprises think that the OA system has no technical content and is relatively simple. At the same time, their own needs are relatively simple, and there is no need to spend too much cost. As a result, they purchase non-streaming products at a very low price. However, in use, we found that the product is always "costly and costly". This product not only has poor stability and security, but also has very imperfect product details. In addition, the Service is not guaranteed, so we should not mention secondary development, even the most basic requirements are difficult to meet, not to mention Personalized Requirements and advanced requirements. We can barely use the previous year or two and then select a new type.

I. CollaborationOAMain functions:

Collaborative OA generally includes three basic functional modules: Information Portal, process management, and knowledge management. These three basic modules contain many detailed functional applications, which are not described here. In addition to these three basic modules, the system also provides a series of optional functions such as administration, project management, asset management, human resource management, customer management, and financial analysis reports.

2. CollaborationOACore:

1. Workflow Management

As the most essential part of the OA system-workflow management, most enterprises only use the simplest process approval, and business process management is achieved through workflows, with little integration with multi-process and multi-system data.

2. Collaborative Management

The core of the collaborative office system is "collaboration", which refers to the process or ability to coordinate two or more different resources or individuals to accomplish a certain goal in a coordinated manner. All systems that help collaboration can be called collaborative office systems, including OA.

At present, OA has become synonymous with the Collaborative office system because OA manufacturers play a decisive role in developing the application of the collaborative office system, and the collaborative office system is empowered by OA as a carrier, its main applications are built on the basis of OA.

In terms of concept and application, collaborative office systems can be regarded as the advanced evolutionary version of OA. There is a inheritance relationship between the two, but they are quite different. In the industry's opinion, this evolution is just as important and obvious as from a carriage to a car.

Specifically, the collaborative office system should include four areas of collaboration:

1) personnel collaboration:

Break the limitations of departments, positions, and levels, take projects and transactions as the core, and achieve smooth communication and collaboration among team members.

2) Process Collaboration:

It integrates, standardizes, and simplifies office processes, and integrates office processes across multiple systems to reduce repetitive work and improve work efficiency and accuracy.

3) data collaboration:

Data integration in the collaborative office system is realized, and data integration between the collaborative office system and other business systems is realized to eliminate information islands.

4) Resource collaboration:

Allows team members to share and obtain valuable knowledge and experience anytime and anywhere, so as to achieve accumulation, inheritance and development of knowledge management.

Based on the above decomposition, we can clearly see the differences between OA and collaborative office systems. If we can achieve the above four points, we can be called a real collaborative office system. Otherwise, it is an oa-office automation system.

Iii. Mainstream collaborationOAAnalysis and Comparison of system development companies

Some enterprises have spent a lot of money and bought the so-called big brands. They found that they only "look beautiful ". It is often because the strength of this product is not needed, and the product you need is not. This is the dislocation of the product and demand, resulting in the product is not applicable. Such results also make the system difficult to use.

What is "Good OA? Everyone has different concerns and different answers, but some basic content is the same. For example, the functional design, stability, practicability, usability, and scalability of the system are hard conditions and indispensable. On this basis, you can examine your important aspects.

I have selected mainstream collaborative OA Product Development vendors in the Chinese market: Weaver software, Zhiyuan software, Jinhe software, Huatian power, Tongda technology, and Beijing Bo Hao Technology Co-OA Platform for comparative analysis, compare and analyze the design capabilities, technical development capabilities, customer reputation, number of cases, and service response capabilities to help enterprises select the collaborative OA system developers.

Vendor name	Development language	Ease of use	Scalability	Customer reputation	Technical development capability	Service response capability
Weaver Software	Java	Average	Medium	Good	Good	Average
Zhiyuan Software	Java	Medium	Average	Good	Good	Good

Summary:

1. In terms of functions and advancement, huidian technology's OA product technology is outdated, its technical system is closed, its platform costs are high, its product acceptance cycle for gold and software is long, and its products and concepts are out of touch seriously, UFIDA's core functional workflows and support capabilities of large users are weak, Tongda technology lags behind, and its core functions are weak. In this dimension, Weaver software and Beijing bohao technology are outstanding, advanced Technology and comprehensive functions.

2. In terms of scalability, Weaver software, Zhiyuan software, gold and software, huidian technology, and Tongda technology are all based on their own platforms, which are relatively closed and weak in scalability. Weaver software provides comprehensive functions, but is easy to use and difficult to learn and master. The Beijing Bo Hao technology OA platform is a new generation of collaborative OA platform developed based on the SharePoint platform. It is highly scalable and integrated with its own developed workflows, it is equivalent to having two systems, enterprise portal and collaborative OA.

3. Technical development capabilities are compared and analyzed in terms of system functions, system performance, and business system integration capabilities. Weaver software and Beijing Bo Hao technology's collaborative OA platform are outstanding in this regard. through communication with engineers of Beijing Bo Hao technology and Weaver software, they work with OA, workflow, and system integration, server Load balancer and other technical aspects have reached a certain depth.

4. Customer reputation mainly analyzes and counts the customer's evaluation of the developer and whether the developer is successfully implemented.

The above suggestions are for your reference.
