Google adds another big name in SAP to its catalogue with the addition of a stream-powered collaboration tool.

SAP StreamWork encourages users to pool their information from all available data sources and work together on tasks for the best outcome. It helps users apply control and structure to discussions — aiding the process with tools that include pro/con lists, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat analyses as well as opinion polls to help move your work processes forward.

The SAP StreamWork environment will be joined with the tools you are already familiar with in the cloud.
