Virtual Work Collaboration

This resource describes the processes that need to be in place to support a virtual team. The processes include computer-based communication, work methodologies, and collaboration technology. While the focus is on using these tools in a virtual situation, we might also use the tools in other settings.

Future research and project

Future research works can be addressed for this project and other replicas used for other business units and processes that can provide further insights for groupware evaluations, and to support, design, and establish a framework for best practices and lessons learned, that if the case, serve as a baseline to look for models, explore and develop standards based in a common standard-based foundation, that in consequence will address common efforts of researches developers and practitioners dedicated to all different and diverse aspects of collaboration.

We expect to complete the implementation of the final release of the system where we can include as new requirements, all the feedback and hidden needs coming from participants as part of the analysis, results, and conclusions drawn from this study.

On the other hand, the project was already accepted as a free open source project where we are looking to include additional modules with features that allow reconfiguration and customization, and then have a system available for the free open source worldwide community.
