This seems to be a question we hear over and over in our communication. Have you ever sat at your computer repeatedly clicking the send and receive button, while someone on the other end of a phone call is repeatedly asking, “Did you get it yet?”
Using email to share media files with others makes about as much sense as having meetings just for the sake of meeting. Poorly planned or facilitated meetings frequently fail to meet the objectives or expectations of the participants. As a document sharing method, email is equally disappointing.
We’ve all had the experience of sending someone an email attachment only to have them say they didn’t get it or that they can’t open it. Not to mention that there is no way to be sure that when they do get it, that they are actually looking at the same file you are – not the one you sent as an attachment last week.
Today’s group collaboration tools permit more opportunities to meet the requirements of the creative process and facilitate project management. With Apeer, when you are actually connected to someone in an online collaboration session you can be viewing and commenting on the same file, in real time – and know for sure that the person you’re communicating with is looking at the same thing. That’s something you could never do using email.
