I haven't until now. &nbsp;The problem I see with it (from the 30 seconds I just spent on it) is that there could be sensitive documents, that we would not want to leave our network...

I have been asked to research software which will enable virtual meetings, and ongoing colabaration. &nbsp;What is wanted, is for ppl to be able to post documents, comment on them, have non-realtime meetings. &nbsp;I would envision a forum type environment, where documents can be displayed as well. &nbsp;<br />

The goal is to eliminate the need to have a room full of leaders at any set interval, and instead have a meeting space where ideas can be shared on an ongoing basis. &nbsp;Was thinking about SharePoint, but was also hoping for some other candidates.

Productivity software is application software dedicated to producing information, such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video. Most common programs and suites such as Microsoft Office and LibreOffice have their own topics. Office suites, which brought word processing, spreadsheet, and relational database programs to the desktop in the 1980s, are the core example of productivity software, but they can include communications software, personal information managers, groupware and log analysis software.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
