Abstract

In this chapter we present results of our research on a collaborative platform that enables employees of a global company to present themselves, their business and company site in a company-wide autograph book. For the content generation the employees received an innovative technology, an application running on an Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC) that enables users to generate video, sound, simple text, drawings, and photos. Main goal of this applied research is to bridge the gap between the various company sites, to foster working relationships and to strengthen the common understanding that each employee is part of a people company. This chapter describes the application, it presents an analysis of the generated content, the evaluation of the users’ acceptance of the UMPC application and the autograph book and finally an outlook on further research activities informed by these results.
