Title: Why a new concept ?

Content:

  • Word files and emails didn't change sharing
  • "The network is the computer" said Scott McNealy
  • Wikis are considered the tool providing the "most" collaboration
  • It lightens the load on your mailbox and its low cost.
  • The challenge is the Change Management related to users working with a tool that is based on another philosophy than the traditional "File based systems".
