Online Collaboration Tools

So you're looking for good online collaboration tools that will increase the productivity of your business, improve company workflow, and facilitate optimal project management- at an affordable cost. There are some key things to keep in mind in your search for good online collaboration tools.

1. Communication

   Good online collaboration entails top communication applications, including Intranets, Extranets, web conferencing, email, IM, discussion threads, discussion forums and RSS activity feeds. Each of these tools prevents miscommunication, save time and promotes transparency within the company- which in turn builds trust and company unity.

2. Project Collaboration Tools

   Good online collaboration tools include applications that are specifically designed to make project planning, implementation and completion easier. Central Desktop provides online calendars, centralized online file storage, online document revision controls and shared workspaces to make project success easy.

3. SaaS

   SaaS, meaning software as a service, means that the online collaboration tools you are installing require no hardware, no expensive IT staff and no costly license fees. Central Desktop requires no maintenance, offer free updates and can be set up and used in minutes. Good online collaboration tools should make life easier, not more complicated. SharePoint, on the other hand, can take up to months of planning and implementation before it can be used.

4. Affordability

   Online collaboration tools save money in an endless number of ways. Money is time, and collaboration tools cut time in new employee training, project planning, paper costs, phone bills, team meetings and event planning. SaaS solutions are also affordable and easy to maintain, saving you tens of thousands in technical and hardware maintenance.

5. Usability

   Good online collaboration tools are user-friendly and intuitive. Central Desktop is commended for its user-friendly interface, so simple that even the most non-computer savvy clients begin using it immediately. At the same time, the interface is professional looking and incorporates a desktop theme nicely, making working from home feel like you're in the office.

Many Central Desktop customers experimented with other collaboration apps before and found that it was almost impossible to get any technical support.
