Criteria, concerns, market leadersThe collaboration tools our group uses need to be fast, powerful, and organized. With everyone having different schedules we need a collaboration tool that can bring all team members up to speed at any time they access the project. Real-time editing, such as what is provided by Google Drive, is also a necessity because each team member can see who else is currently editing a document.

Concerns include being able to reach team members when they are away from the collaboration application. Facebook provides push notifications to team member’s mobile devices when changes are made to group pages.
