InstaColl offers free group collaboration software for document collaboration

Document collaboration is an important part of working,
especially as team-based structure becomes more prominent in
the workplace. There are inherent difficulties in trying to
do this without a specific software program. Group
collaboration software makes it easy to collaborate on the
same project without having to leave your desk.
InstaColl is one option for your document and data
collaboration needs. Unlike many other similar programs,
InstaColl offers a free service. However, the drawback is
that the free version of InstaColl is designed for
one-to-one sharing of documents. If your collaboration team
can accept this limitation, InstaColl can be an extremely
helpful and cost effective addition to your document
creation process.
InstaColl is perfect for collaborating with a group
member on a moment's notice. It's more secure too -- you
share only the "underlying data of a chosen application,"
not the desktop or applications themselves. InstaColl refers
to this as a "data-centric" approach, as you and your
colleague are actually manipulating the data from the
document, spreadsheet, or database together. It uses only a
small amount of bandwidth, so if you're on dialup, you can
still benefit from the software.
If your collaborative needs extend to a larger group
requiring one-to-many interactions, consider upgrading to
InstaColl's corporate edition. You may also want to take a
look at some other well-known collaboration software
programs, like those from
Groove
Networks and
NextPage.
However, if one-to-one collaboration is what you're
looking for and investing in a more high-end product isn't
an effective use of your budget; a free download of the
InstaColl software can be a great resource. You'll enjoy all
the benefits of real-time collaboration on a document and
none of the drawbacks of e-mailing edits back and forth.
It's an efficient and effective collaborative solution for
your team's documents.
