A Guide to Online Collaboration Software
By Gerry Blackwell , May 5, 2011
Online collaboration software was pioneered by smaller start-ups such as Zoho and BaseCamp, which makes a project management-oriented collaboration suite, and by pure Internet companies such as Google (Google Apps, Google Cloud Connect). And the products initially appealed mainly to small and medium businesses.
"There was a time when those big players were not that interested in the cloud," noted Jacqueline Lawson, a small business consultant with cozzas.com, a Zoho specialist. Those days are clearly long gone.
As Lawson pointed out, 500 million Facebook users, a growing number of them businesses looking to make connections with customers, have helped make the cloud the place to be, and they attract big players.
