Almost every collaboration suite provides tools for social sharing, file management, discussions, task tracking and other basic collaboration needs. But what are the major differences?

2. Collabora*on
SoAware
Comparison
Enterprise
collabora*on
and
social
collabora*on
soAware
have
became
mainstream
of
the
enterprise
solu*ons.
This
can
also
be
seen
from
the
solu*on
market:
It's
packed
with
hundreds
of
different
tools.
From
the
surface
they
all
look
the
same.
Almost
every
collabora*on
suite
provides
tools
for
social
sharing,
file
management,
discussions,
task
tracking
and
other
basic
collabora*on
needs.
But
what
are
the
major
differences?
The
key
to
this
answer
can
be
found
from
the
original
purpose
of
the
soAware.
Purpose
defines
in
which
context
the
solu*on
can
most
probable
ac*vate
the
people
and
keep
collabora*on
meaningful.

Some
of
these
tools
can
be
implemented
to
different

as
well,
but
this

should
help
you
to
understand
what
challenges
the

have
been
designed
to
