Is efficient project work possible without sitting at a table together? What sounds like a future vision is becoming a simple necessity in globalized markets with international development projects. A platform for virtual project work developed by T-Systems illustrates the possible field of applications in day-to-day business: without losing time because of long and environmentally harmful traveling, highly specialized experts – from all over the world – are connected quickly and securely to the project platform.

PLATON – The expert platform for virtual project work

With PLATON (PLATform for Orchestrated Networks), T-Systems offers one collaboration application including all desired functionalities at the highest security level for worldwide teamwork in real-time. Experts can discuss and work together on a CAD concept for automobile development, for example, or even on sensitive patient data from the health care field. Participants collaborate in a closed circle absolutely untroubled in virtually tap-proof project rooms installed separately for every single project through secure interfaces where intellectual property and data integrity are protected by precisely defined access rights. The advantage of the self-sustaining and secure platform is that the participants in the cross-company project teams don’t have to open their IT systems to each other. Client software with double authentication on a USB stick with a smart card and a PIN assure secure access of the team members from any place in the world that can be connected to the Internet. All documents, plans and designs are up to date and seamlessly documented at all times and available for cross-continent and cross-company project work.
