Problem with Collaboration Tools • Disjoint and incompatible collaboration tools • Technology driven tools require constant context switching to perform a single task • Inability to aggregate diverse types of collaboration data by project, task, or metadata • Proliferation of Web 2.0 content silos weakens corporate governance • Needto collaborate across organizational boundaries with external parties
Unified Collaboration Environments? • Soaring costs or technical barriers for integrating silos of repositories • Many collaboration environments are • Vendor-specific • Lack a standard model, interface, and protocol …especially in the enterprise domain
Standard Collaboration Model • Provides a complete range of collaboration activities so that customers, independent software vendors, and system integrators can build contextual collaboration environments using service components from multiple vendors.
