DMC for Cooperation

When you trade in information, knowledge or ideas — and who isn't these days — you want frictionless communication guiding your entire team, ensuring everyone is working on the same page and with a common goal. You need great tools, but your culture and systems also need to be up to the challenge. The DMC is built around providing effective channels of communication, collaboration and workflow that not only gel as a system, but also encourage a culture geared towards good practice.

The DMC is an integrated approach to your company’s core software framework that offers the benefits of single-source solutions with flexibility, efficiency and saving only open-source software can offer.

We take the absolute best of breed throughout the toolchain and bind them together into a single package with a unified feel, single sign-on and professional support.

Making Every Dollar Count

Our approach gives you the '''best possible software for any situation'''. Without being bound to a single brand or developer, quality is our only consideration. We maintain compatibilities by selecting products that adhere to industry standards and take off any rough edges with strict testing and integration procedures.

This means our core system is completely modular and it:

  • Delivers only the components you need
  • Can add functionality onto your existing systems
  • Can easily add new functionality as your requirements change

No fuss

The DMC has been designed for digital media companies and any IT person working in that areas knows that your solution isn’t a solution if the “creatives” won’t use it.

Artists and designers have notoriously short attention spans when it comes to learning tricky sign-in procedures or complicated check-in manoeuvres, and the technically adept ones will, in fact, work around inconvenient systems rather than grin and bear them. We understand real operating environments, and we have built the DMC with that in mind.

The Integrated Approach

The DMC includes:

  • Communications — Email, instant messaging, voice communication, teleconferencing, shared calendars and contact databases
  • Social networking — including internal and external wiki, blogs, RSS feeds
  • Project management — including work flow bug tracking, versioning and asset tracking
  • Network architecture — including VPN (remote access) and a central file repository, with filters and smart folders, with network and web-interface and capable of supporting distributed architecture

The software suite is available as a hosted service or a package you can install and run centrally on your systems, isolated by your firewall. If you are unhappy with your current set-up or are launching something new, Binary Culture can help manage your complete IT infrastructure, or help navigate through finding the right telecommunications solution and hardware specification.

Other DMC modules under development include:

  • Customer relationship management (CRM)
  • Accounting and enterprise resource planning(ERP)

Going Above and Beyond with the DMC

While we aim to use the best-of-breed solutions, there are some holes and that needs a new approach. Our social networking framework is one such example.

It not only offers web-building tools for community interaction and creation, but it presents a dynamic new way to organise and filter vast amounts of information. This delivers a powerful tool for project management in high-traffic businesses.

Building on open source solutions and extending their capabilities, we give your business everything it needs to quickly deliver a fully-featured website, including:

  • Articles, including regular stories, static pages, “About us” and so on
  • A news feed (which users can influence by voting up or down a topic’s relevance for high-traffic websites)
  • A wiki (to act as a central knowledge base)
  • Blogs
  • Forums

We are further expanding the technology to provide '''true Web 2.0 innovations which allow your website (or internal communications network) to be both more dynamic, flexible and functional'''. It includes:

  • Relationship management, including friends lists, post tracking, and varied access to user profile information
  • Knowledge clusters, which allow users to easily separate topics, articles or items tagged in a certain way to be automatically collected in to one or more “mini-sites” that cater to specific needs
  • The ability to create new knowledge clusters and have the system automatically generate a new homepage for it, complete with its own, dedicated, forum.

This level of social networking offers an incredibly easy, and simple to use way to manage what would otherwise be a bewildering amount of information pertaining to one or multiple projects. It allows users to easily track any links or crossovers between projects, track new additions pertaining to that particular field, or easily filter down to the areas they need to understand.
