Sometime back, it was hard to have a meeting online without the accompanying transmission delays and fuzzy pictures. Imagine collaboration across cities or countries today – made extremely simplified and productive thanks to the varied collaboration software.
Social collaboration software products allow you to create a workspace where all information can be shared and analyzed, immaterial of the location. Any changes made to the data are instantly updated to all platforms, resulting in a brilliant exchange of ideas leading to creativity in issue resolutions and improved revenue generation. These social tools simplify the inclusion of outside participants like partners, suppliers, and contractors in the collaboration process. The collaboration software available encompasses a range of not-always-related activities.
Some popular examples include:
·Informal information exchanges over email or instant messaging (Pidgin, Ebuddy, Skype)
