In order to facilitate the flow of ideas and best practices across all orders of government and areas of public services Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) has launched a new and exciting service for the public sector around the world called Public Service Without Borders (PSWB).
The secure, cloud-enabled collaboration and social media site based on OpenText's Social Workplace software, connects all levels of public service employees to one another in order to network, share ideas, impart valuable lessons learned in such areas as governance, healthcare, technology, environment and other issues that are prevalent in the society.
Whether via the Internet or through mobile devices, participants are able to connect, network, plan and deliver exciting new partnerships and initiatives at anytime from anywhere in the world. Whether one is a Canadian, American, South African, Brazilian, British, Chinese or Indian public-sector employee, one can now connect to PSWB and engage with colleagues in a safe and secure fashion; whether to exchange policies, compare programs, or simply network.
OpenText Social Workplace is used as the social workplace forum for world leaders, diplomats and policy makers. The software helps organizations create a foundation for social collaboration, creating a real-time, community-based network where people can share content and ideas, and work more effectively on projects.
