| | As project groups and work teams become more geographically dispersed, the need arises for better methods of document sharing and community messaging. The new tools that are enabling collaboration (all of the "Social Media" tools that are broadly publicized: blogs, twitter, LinkedIn,IM, etc.) can certainly make organizations more efficient by allowing employees and partners to work together in real time. Recent AIIM research reveals that traction and adoption of these tools has doubled over the past 12 months. The research also points to serious governance issues as even the most basic precautions for legal compliance are not in place and tools are being selected with little regard for ongoing content management. With proper planning, your organization can integrate the information on collaborative platforms with your corporate strategies and practices.
