Guide to Groupware and Collaboration Software and Sites
All together now: Making the virtual workgroup a reality.
"Groupware" or collaboration software bring a project team together in the same virtual work space. Whether it's whiteboards, file sharing, or multiple collaboration tools, there's a product out there for you.
Your company might need groupware or collaborative software if:
- You often work with contractors located in other regions or countries – particularly in different time zones.
- Business is booming, making frequent sit-down meetings increasingly difficult.
- Your work is largely project-based, requiring many phases and steps, calling for a central "hub" to track progress.
- You frequently give presentations to several sources in various locations.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Install it on your PC
Some well-established programs come as software installed on your computer or laptop or integrated into existing software.
I recommend:
Venerable IBM collaborative offering Lotus Notes is still going strong after many years, with a Lotus Notes 7 (including Lotus Notes for Collaboration) the latest edition. Microsoft Office 2007 features Groove collaboration software.
Run it online
Many companies offer groupware as an online, multi-user interface, sans download or installation. This seems to be the trend in collaboration, due to low cost and ease of setup and modification.
I recommend:
37 Signals offers innovative, secure, and user-friendly web-based collaborative tools, including the multi-functional Basecamp, for a monthly subscription. Central Desktop offers a similarly comprehensive interface, also for a monthly subscription fee based on the amount of storage space needed. For companies with simpler needs and smaller budgets, 37 Signals offers free, basic Web-based tools like its Writeboard and Ta-Da list.
Share with gadgets
Touch-screens, Webcams…there are more ways to bring groups together than the software experience.
I recommend:
3M offers its MicroTouchTM ClearTek IITM touch-screen add-on that converts your computer screen into a whiteboard that can be viewed by others outside your office during a phone conference. The white-hot popular Apple iSight Webcam combines user-friendliness with visual quality for online conferences.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Think outside of the software box when contemplating collaboration – Weblogs, commonly known as 'blogs' are a great tool for sharing ideas among many users who can either add content or comment on existing entries.
- Instant messaging software – often downloadable for free – allows for multi-user conversations from multiple computers.
- All reputable web-based groupware firms guarantee the security of their products – be sure to also ask about backup capabilities to prevent loss of data.
- Test drive any groupware you're interested in using – nearly all companies offer free trials of their software.
