| Peer Communications is a great way to communicate with follow workers
- communicating with branch offices across the street or around
the world.
The Web is a way for business associates within a company to
publish and share tips, lesson plans, experiences, etc.
Sharing business plans whether published on the Web site or
through specialized sites, many business associates within the
same company share their work with colleagues.
Why should a business with an existing Web-based messaging
system consider developing and deploying peer group communications
applications? The answer is that while the Web can adequately
serve as a communications platform, peer computing simply may
be more: cost-effective, more personally efficient
and more flexible and adaptable to person-to-person communication.
Peer Communications are Cost Effective
There is no need for IT administrators to manage access,
security, storage or other tasks associated with centralized
Web-based shared work spaces. Team members make use of their
own local computing resources.
Administrative costs are not limited to activities inside the
firewall. Peer computing makes direct use of local computing
resources in business-to- business and business-to-consumer
settings.
Peer communications offer personal efficiency
In a peer computing environment, as in a person-to-person
phone call, the user has personal control. He or she makes a
direct connection to someone else, there's no up-front setup
required. What's more, with most peer communications, the user
easily can bring additional members into the interaction.
Peer communications offer flexibility and
adaptability
This sense of personal control will grow as
further innovation occurs at the edge of the network. Why rely
on a development team to add server functionality for a shared
application, such as a Web-based shared work space, when it
can be added directly (and more quickly) at the edge of the
network by end-users?
