10 Collaboration Platforms to Consider for Your Business: “Collaboration is the cornerstone of getting work done in the enterprise. It may start with e-mail clients, but there are a number of platforms that enable file sharing, offer wiki-like work space and provide real-time collaboration through Web conferencing.

This isn’t an attempt to rank the products, or favor one over the other, but to show businesses what’s out there to help employees better work together.”

Granted, I am using a Core 2 Duo 3.06ghz system, which although already a year old, it is still considered to be a pretty fast processor.”
