Today, businesses juggle a multitude of tools to communicate and share information. The result: scattered data, fragmented conversations, and a loss of efficiency. According to a study, 52% of French people were already using online platforms to buy or sell goods between individuals in 2013, reflecting the growing interest in collaborative solutions (then came the Covid period and the resulting upheaval in the world of work and its impact on nomadism).
In concrete terms, a collaborative and social platform (or digital workplace) is your digital HQ: a single place to do everything, together.
- Communicate
- Share files
- Work on documents together
- Plan, organize, react… securely
The challenge of collaboration in the digital age
A collaborative platform is a virtual workspace that centralizes various tools and applications to facilitate communication, project management, and information sharing within an organization. It aims to streamline teamwork, whether members are in the office or working remotely, by providing a single access to the necessary resources. Unlike specialized tools like Teams or Slack, which focus primarily on instant messaging and online meetings, a collaboration platform offers a wide range of integrated features.
Features offered by a collaborative platform
Modern collaborative platforms, like Whaller, offer a range of services designed to optimize teamwork:

The Rise of Collaborative Platforms in France
In France, the adoption of collaborative platforms is booming. In 2016, transactions related to the collaborative economy reached €28 billion, double the previous year, with forecasts reaching €572 billion by 2025. Furthermore, 36% of French people reported using a collaborative platform in 2018, a percentage significantly higher than the European average of 17%.
Some striking figures:
- 80% of European academic data is stored by non-European giants (ANSSI)
- +400% cyberattacks in France in 3 years
- 70% of organizations still use non-sovereign solutions that are poorly adapted to their business
