Rapidly build and deploy real-time collaboration integrations and custom applications with the Adobe® LiveCycle® Collaboration Service on the QuickConnect™ managed services platform

Count the number of times you switch back and forth between applications each day to get your work done. There are many tools available to facilitate collaboration and productivity, but they come in a variety of disparate forms that require users to stitch them together. One moment you are in your CRM application, then back to email, then on to Instant Messenger, scheduling a meeting, participating in a web conference, etc. Each of these context-shifts takes time, coordination, and decreases your overall productivity.

Adobe’s LiveCycle Collaboration Service provides an alternative to this "alt-tab" workflow. The service enables organizations to embed collaboration tools in the right place, at the right time, to ensure more productive experiences. Whether the goal is to integrate real-time components such as video and voice into existing applications, or to build completely new real-time collaboration enabled experiences, Adobe LiveCycle Collaboration Service provides you with the toolset you need to truly enable seamless collaborative experiences in context. And because all LiveCycle Collaboration Service–based applications are run in the free, ubiquitous Adobe Flash® Player, customers can access these applications through their browser without the need to download additional software
