size to help improve their productivity and output. This is through collaborative software tools.
The result has been very positive as it has seen great growth for the businesses. Collaborative
technology cannot be isolated from collaborative software. This is a shared software that
supports joint functions and shared goals. It may be looked at as intentional processes arising
from a common group that supports such shared processes and functions. The use of the

that demystifies the collaborative activities and coordination as supporting means of computer

bookmarking, wiki, text chat, among others. This is when such are used for a social group. The
technology may also apply outside the confines of a workplace to include such sites like online
