# What you Can Do with It
# Information management
In terms of information management, the CoB platform was developed from the perspective of a regular Web user. As such, its user interface is, for an inexperienced user, much more accessible and intuitive than an Excel spreadsheet. Despite being an exclusively Web-based application, it was designed from scratch by professionals with solid knowledge of online security. All the information stored and analyzed in the platform can be shared quietly among employees of the same team but kept secret from the rest of the world and even the rest of the organization.
Much like an Excel spreadsheet, with the help of the CoB platform any business user can easily structure the lists they need to maintain and define which columns and fields to use. Entire databases can thus be built very easily.
# Task management
In regards to work coordination, instead of just sending an e-mail message, in the CoB platform you can easily create tasks and associate them with work blocks that are in turn associated with information. This contextualization of the existing tasks makes it possible to track the work of employees, reallocate employees between tasks, receive notifications when there is a need to modify existing tasks, and quantify the status of projects. All these features allow you to do much more than email, which offers no contextualization whatsoever.
# Equipment management
When it comes to interacting with devices, we know that in organizations whose business relies heavily on large amounts of different types of documents, the typical solution ends up dealing with each device separately. In contrast, the CoB platform eliminates all the repetitive work traditionally involved in processing data about equipment such as computers, communication equipment, or servers. The only requirement to communicate with a device through the CoB is that it be reachable.
Within the CoB platform, you only need to indicate in one go which task is to be performed on each of the devices, as if you were communicating with a single device. This applies both to when you want to act on the equipment and when you want to receive information from it.
