Some Examples of What They Do
All collaborative websites are different, and the services they perform are
as varied as the people who use them. Below are just a few basic
examples of what our website are doing for people right now.
File Sharing
A collaborative website can act as a wide-area-network file server,
with both upload and download access to shared files of any type,
entirely through the web browser. The read/write privileges for files and
directories are completely configurable, and automatic version control is
provided, letting you "rewind" files to earlier versions.
Group Calendar / Email Reminders
One of the most basic and important tasks in any organization is
making sure that the right people show up to the right places and the
right times. Collaborative websites can not only have a shared group
calendar, but can also notify interested people of events
automatically via email.
Time and Resource Tracking
Collaborative websites can be used to keep track of customer
information, employees' work hours and expenses, and other kinds of
bread-and-butter information. Keeping these things in a web database
improves both capture and access.
Document/Knowledge Management
Every day, employees produce great amounts of valuable information
that is then usually lost soon afterward. Document and knowledge
management solutions help you capture, catalog and index this
knowledge for future discovery and use. This can be a great help for
solving the age-old "don't we have this written down somewhere?"
problem.
