Page "Collaborative software" Paragraph 83

Collaborative software should support the individuals that make up the team and the interactions between them during the group decision making process.

Many of today's teams are composed of members from around the globe, with some members using their second or third language in communicating with the group.

This situation provides cultural as well as linguistic challenges for any software that supports the collaborative effort.

The software may also support team membership, roles and responsibilities.

Additionally, collaborative support systems may offer the ability to support ancillary systems, such as budgets and physical resources.
