Web-based collaboration: What it means

As business goes global, gone are the days of network servers and passing discs back and forth. Thanks to the ground-breaking efforts of giants like Google and Microsoft, partnering with people both off- and on-site is as easy as a few mouse clicks.

A quick internet search will result in a plethora of Web-based collaboration and communication tools worth investigating. These resources are allowing lean-and-mean businesses to work from anywhere and partner with anyone -- from telecommuting employees and outsourced contractors to vendors and suppliers. These tools save travel time and related costs, can increase productivity, and are built for flexibility.

The key to choosing the right tool is to know your needs. It's easy to get distracted by some of the innovative functionality, but the foundation of your assessment needs to be rooted in what will make collaboration and communication easier for your team.

Finding the right tool for your organization can take a little bit of legwork. There are both free and fee-based services that were built to serve just about any organization's needs; they cover the gamut from online meeting space to project management to real-time document manipulation. So, it's important to have an idea about both what you want and what fits within your budget.
