Most organizations wanted to accomplish a project with the online collaboration approach. This approach is done when the right tools are available to them. It is the collaboration tools that provide the mechanism for the transfer of data and information in an unhindered fashion that help to propel an organization forward.
All organizations can choose from two different paths for their online collaboration to occur. This can be by placing the collaboration tools on the company server or using the cloud management approach. Both paths will achieve the same goals but each one has different advantages and disadvantages.
The cloud online collaboration path is the least expensive of the options available to every company. This platform will have all of the collaboration software programs on the server so access can be made. The main reason there should be a limit to the number of users that will have access to all of the collaboration tools is that the cloud management approach is a rented system.
Despite the additional cost of allowing more users to have access to the cloud online collaboration tools, an organization should also make access available so the flow of data and information will remain unhindered. It is a balancing act that must be played out for the benefit of any organization.
Because of security concerns and the size of an organization, many companies chose to load the online collaboration tools to their company's server. This will require the purchase of user licenses, but greater control over who will have access to your server and the programs is possible.
The types of online collaboration tools that will be needed should include the real time tools of instant messaging, web conferencing of all types and if needed desktop sharing. What most organizations do not realize is that desktop sharing has been part of the security function for a company to use for many years.
The unified messaging portion or synchronized messaging are also included in the online collaboration tools. This is because this is the group of tools that email falls into. This group of tools should also include voice messaging, fax and other telephony services.
To help make an organization more efficient in the way their information is organized, the use of an online collaboration file folder or folders should be set up. This access should be a two way street so files can also be downloaded for use by employees when their tasks require it.
To help keep all of your project team members informed about meeting and events the use of the online collaboration calendars should be used. There should be a general one that will make it easy for the project manager to place a posting that will involve all of their project team members.
The use of the online collaboration filing cabinet is a collaboration tool that is now becoming a must for most organizations. This is an area on either the company server or a SaaS third party provider's server
