The 2008 Beijing Olympics were showcasing three major themes as all eyes were on last weekend’s opening activities – the Green Olympics, the High-tech Olympics and the People's Olympics. In a way, the themes are a strong reflection of how the Global Village truly is shrinking. It is through shared philosophies and ideas, such as the greening of the planet, that bring together people of all walks of life using such high-tech means as collaboration software.

Before the advent of the World Wide Web, knowledge transfer was largely done in person and at great expense especially when separated by oceans and continents. Even now, crippling fuel prices and an economic recession have severely limited the travel budgets of many organizations.

Today, the ability to manage projects, share ideas, even train new employees through a shared online workspace, has greatly improved business operations and productivity. Wiki, instant messengers, web-based task management systems, and online business calendars are becoming common tools for many organizations whether the team members are located in neighboring countries, states, or even neighboring cubicles. A great productivity tool is useful regardless of geography.

And as with any major international event, security concerns will top the list for the safety and well-being of the participants. It’s no different in the technology world. With common stories of hackers tapping into large stores of personal and proprietary data, many businesses are leery to adopt new forms of online collaboration tools.

The ability to lead a productive team shouldn’t be sacrificed over the concerns of securing intellectual property, financial records, and other valuable data.

Choosing the right collaboration software that provides a secure environment and is accessible from anywhere can provide peace of mind to business teams. Additionally, the centralized communications that many central desktop platforms provide can greatly minimize the Inbox clutter and improve efficiencies commonly sacrificed by inundated email accounts.
