Section 1 - Software/Technology Productivity Tools Research and Integration Report
This section focuses on the main critical issues, best practices, and lessons learned in the business world for implementing an integrated collaboration solution with three cloud-based collaboration tools: ManagePro, CentralDesktop, and BaseCamp as a unified virtual collaboration tool. The technology research is based on information found on a number of different websites, white papers, and user blogs. As in our previous software productivity tools research reports on all three cloudbased software tools, our research team has found many similarities within the systems. Both ManagePro and Central Desktop are capable of providing cloud computing for teams and individuals that must share work and knowledge together. However, Central Desktop departs from these similarities in that it offers “social bridges” for integrating social networks such as twitter, Facebook, etc. ManagePro does not. BaseCamp seems to be more focused on project management capabilities and it’s geared more towards project managers that require seamless, online collaboration and complex corporate projects. Most of the research conducted showed common issues, best practices, and lessons learned across many of the web-based groupware programs. Let us now take a look at those common grounds for these tools. Critical Issues: Learning Curve – In order to successfully integrate these Managing Virtual Teams Software/Technology Productivity Tools in a medium size organization for its day-to-day operations and projects all over the
