To begin with, there is a first level of tools called “cooperative tools”. This kind of tool is made to enable team members to communicate between themselves. We can cite as example mail, chat, video conferencing or whiteboard. In other words, these tools are the basics of team working in a company and you must be using them every day.
But if they enable colleagues to communicate, they don’t enable them to work on the same goal and with the same files. That’s why a new generation of tools is more and more used by companies: “Online collaboration tools”…
I was, until I started using a small software tool I found on another blog, and I have to tell you I couldn’t live without it anymore !
