Exchange of documents as email attachments in collaborative decision making lacks support for keeping track of threads of performed activities, which often leads to email overload and strain. A proactive document email attachment linking the passive content and active services could build reproducibility in collaborative processes, even if workers may tend to exchange emails indiscriminately. The key role in achieving this is played by the migration path embedded in the document code, which when interpreted by the specially designed smart email client can suport document steering. Owing to this, the email system can provide a platform for document-centric processing and can introduce self-organization in the dynamically set virtual organization using it. Proactive documents exchanged as standard MIME attachments enable any type of working content with reduced workload and improved work performance, without any substantial investment in the job resources already available in the workplace. Moreover, they enable smooth incorporation of email-based collaboration in a solution that pushes the boundaries of building overall intelligence and enhanced cognition across the cloud-edge continuum.
