About this Portal:
Peer collaboration has proven to be a highly effective means for knowledge sharing and quickly gaining insight into an unlimited array of business issues and challenges. Whether you are a CFO wanting to exchange ideas and best practices with other CFO’s, or an IT professional looking for feedback on ERP systems, iPeerGrid collaboration portals offer access to peers capable of providing the insight you need.
At the core of this portal is an engine that allows members to send broadcast communications to a very broad audience, a single recipient or any member subset in between. Target peer populations are member defined by selecting a combination of process areas, technology areas, industries, job classifications and company size. So, based on the specific nature of your inquiry, you can fine tune a subset of the member population to receive it to ensure the highest possible quality of responses.
This portal also provides access to Special Interest Groups (SIG). These are groups that typically cross industries, process areas, technology areas, etc. and provide a convenient forum for members to discuss issues relative to their common interest. Examples might include Sarbanes-Oxley, European Business Community, etc. By joining one or more of these groups, members can make a single inquiry that will reach all members of the SIG, but not any members outside of the SIG.
To support your company’s research efforts, this portal offers a superior knowledge repository that includes benchmark reports and best practices research. The repository is comprehensive covering all enterprise functions such as finance, procurement, human resources, IT and supply chain. And importantly, if you are downloading content, there are no forms to fill out! Simply click the download icon and you're done.
Hundreds of enterprise best practices will soon be available for search and download. The bulk of these best practices will cover enterprise functions such as finance, human resources, IT, procurement and supply chain. These best practices represent the compilation and normalization of numerous research studies from leading research companies. All best practices are classified according to an industry standard taxonomy.
Importantly, IBM and iPeerGrid are committed to member privacy. Your personal contact information is not shared with other members. It is entirely up to each member as to whether any personal information is exchanged.
Once you have completed the member profile, you will have a customized Member Home Page providing statistics on your specific peer population.
