Team Collaborative Applications
Team collaborative applications (TCAs) provide an integrated set of Web-based tools for collaboration among team members from one or more organizations. The core integrated functionality areas are shared work spaces for managing and sharing files, assigning and coordinating tasks, and maintaining other project and team information. User and workspace administration, configuration, and customization are generally performed by individual users. Although all work asynchronously, several have added real-time collaborative tools. The following are representative vendors and products in this market:
• EMC (Documentum eRoom)
• IBM (Lotus Team Workplace and Lotus Workplace Team Collaboration)
• Interwoven (WorkSite)
• Open Text (Livelink)
Collaborative applications designed for a particular vertical market such as manufactured product design or life-cycle development (product data management [PDM] and product life-cycle management [PLM]) are not included here. |
