UCT Team Member has been recognised as HCL Ambassador

,

Congratulations to our team member Julian Mosen who has been recognised as HCL Ambassador in 2024!

The HCL Ambassadors program is a recognition program that showcases the best of the HCL community. Ambassadors go ‘above and beyond’ their normal job roles to help others, share information and organise events for the whole community to benefit from.

Also from our point of view, the title is a tribute to Julian’s many years of commitment, which he very much deserves.
Julian himself writes about it on LinkedIn:

“I am very proud and grateful to be recognised as an HCL Ambassador in 2024.
Looking back at the last few years, I have counted all the students that I introduced to software development using Domino, Connections, Leap and more recently Volt MX. It is an amazing number, almost 50 Computer Science students who have been trained in application development using HCL technologies and have worked very closely with me on various hands-on projects where we developed, tested or evaluated scientific approaches using one of HCL’s products. I am grateful for the support from HCL and the community through all the student projects, Bachelor’s and Master’s theses and student assistants that work with me. I am looking forward to all of the upcoming projects with the additional support of the HCL Ambassadors’ community.”

Also from our point of view, the title is a tribute to Julian’s many years of commitment, which he very much deserves.

Congratulations, Julian!

Research on visual collaboration tools and their integration into enterprise collaboration platforms

The need for digital alternatives for training and development workshops has increased due to digital transformation, advances in digital workplaces, and the increasing number of people working from home or in distributed teams. This demand proved to be even more critical during the COVID-19 pandemic, when physical workshops were not possible, and digital solutions had to be found to provide remote access to business meetings as well as for delivering engaging and interactive workshops. Since working with a whiteboard is an essential part of most workshops and in the daily work of many employees, there is a need for a deeper investigation of visual collaboration tools that can be described as digital whiteboards. These tools offer graphical elements to visualise ideas and methods for facilitating collaborative work on a shared canvas or workspace enabling multiple collaborators to work together synchronously or asynchronously. This research is part of the DFG-funded project 2C-NOW (Collaboration and Coordination in Networks of Work) and the overarching CEIR research program. In the scope of 2C-NOW, the CEIR team is investigating transformations to work processes and practices in large-scale, heterogeneous enterprise collaboration platforms to obtain a deeper theoretical and practical understanding of how collaborative work takes place within the digital workplace in organisations.
