Importantly, it also provides the functionality required to support collaborative planning in a
single integrated window. Combined with specific applications designed to improve and / or
provide enhancements designed to address the shortfalls of the ―off the shelf‖
implementation of Sametime, the application is able to meet the operational requirements of
Distributed Collaborative Planning (DCP) for the war fighter at sea.
