COLLABORATIVE NETWORK

Dervish Studio has developed a network of talented collaborators around the country with professional experience in strategy, design and technology development.

Using digital technologies we are able to share and co-create, on an ad-hoc basis, for each project. Our collaborative network promotes solutions that are not localized, but infused with a broader perspective.

DIGITAL NETWORK

When we talk about a collaborative network that can exist in different physical locations yet hold to project deadlines, collaborate remotely, and "distance design", we are speaking of a method for using technology to overcome physical limitations.

Beyond the phone and email, Dervish Studio's utilizes a design extranet to facilitate an exchange of information and ideas. Project timelines, document exchange, CVS (concurrent version systems), are all handled by the Dervish XXtranet.

Additionally, we can collaborate on documents in real-time using online meeting systems like WebEx (www.webx.com).

At Dervish Studio, we've got the angles wired.
