Email: Probably the most used tool for collaborating, whether it's sending notes, documents, scheduling meetings or sharing links. There are many who say email is not a good tool for collaboration and envision its demise. We think it's just bound for a slightly new usage scenario. But that's a story for another day.

Discussion Groups: Google still offers them, and they are still a part of many new collaboration software solutions.

Wikis: Wikis are old and new. They've been around for a very long time, but have definitely improved with age.

Databases: The database I remember most -- not so much with found affection -- was that found in Lotus Notes. They were used extensively to store technical documents and were a pain to search.

File Share: Yes, the file share is/was a collaboration tool. Store your files in a folder system created to support your project team.

Question and Answers: Q&A's were a popular way to get the answers we needed to our questions. Still are.

Conference calls: Before web conferencing solutions we had the good old conference call. Sometimes it's easier to get your other work done when participating in a conference call, so they aren't all that bad.

Instant Messaging: Not sure this really fits in the tools of yesterday because we still use them a great deal, but this technology, like wikis, has also come a long way.

TOOLS FOR COLLABORATION AND TEAMWORK TO AN ORGANIZATON

Document Collaboration: These tools provide the ability to not just share a document with others, but to actively work on it together, in real time. Google Docs is a well known example, but there are many other variations to Google Docs.

Profiles: We use to call them Employee Directories and had deep discussions about what information to capture in a user's profile. But profiles are much more today, enabling us to share details about ourselves, our interests, our knowledge and expertise, and much more.

Blogs and Wikis: Pretty standard stuff these days really. Blogs let us share information and knowledge and allow people to respond via comments, tagging and rating. Wikis allow multiple people to contribute to a subject.

Microblogging: Twitter and Yammer are the most notable microblogging technologies, but there are other vendors like SocialText, NewsGator and others who focus strongly on this capability. Sometimes also called an activity feed, you can let people know what you are working on (manually or via automation), discuss documents, projects, etc, and at the same time ask for help to the general community.

Communities: These are groupings of capabilities like those listed above set up for projects, communities of interest or practices, or around other topics and themes. There are many different types of communities, open or private, internal, external, mixed.

Calendars: Shared calendars allow you to have one calendar for all those involved in a project.

Idea Management: Also known as innovation management. These tools provide the ability for employees to participate in generating ideas for things like products and services, ways to improve existing products and services, business processes, etc..

Social Networks: How many times have you heard "Facebook for the enterprise". Social Networks enable employees to work together and play together. A prime example: Salesforce.com's Chatter.

Social Knowledge Networks: SKNs are tools that provide a place to share and find the organization's knowledge, pulling content from across the organization into a single location to share and collaboration. SKNs are specialized communities.

Web Conferencing: No more need to travel with the availability of numerous web conferencing tools.

User generated content: There are any number of tools to allow users to submit content, both moderated or un-moderated.

The Tools We Have Today

Keeping in mind that we still have all those tools listed above, the emergence of Web 2.0 has brought a slew of new technologies that can take us to new levels of collaboration.

As we've said before most people's definition of collaboration is fundamentally social. This is because in our personal lives we have access to these capabilities on the Web, like Facebook, Twitter and other social networks that allow us to both socialize and share with our friends and family. It only makes sense that we have these same capabilities in the organization. Now we have social software coming out of every corner of the office, and social features being added to our traditional systems. What are some of these capabilities?

Document Collaboration: These tools provide the ability to not just share a document with others, but to actively work on it together, in real time. Google Docs is a well known example, but there are many other variations to Google Docs.

The tools and technologies for collaboration and teamwork include email, cell phones and wireless handhelds, social networking, wikis, and virtual worlds.

1. Social networking sites give corporations another way for users to share ideas and collaborate with each other. Businesses can use them as a way to communicate with and reach out to customers. If done correctly, they can be a great tool to sell products, service customers, and communicate to the masses.

2. Wikis are specially created Web sites that provide a way for users to contribute and edit text content and graphics about a wide-ranging assortment of topics. They are generally less costly than formal knowledge management systems and may be more dynamic and current. As companies increase the need for storing and sharing employee knowledge and insights, wikis will grow in popularity.

3. Businesses can use virtual worlds to house online meetings, training sessions, and lounges for employees to communicate with one another.
