It doesn't matter if your organization is large or small, or if you have a complex network or have no server at all. Knowing about online collaboration tools can help organizations and individuals be more effective, for less money, especially when your staff is not located in one central location.
In this free webinar, Kami Griffiths will interview Jon Warnow from 350.org to learn about the tools that they use to accomplish their mission specifically Google Apps, Skype and Salsa Labs-Democracy in Action. We'll also hear from Jay Boren, from Google, who will provide more information about Google Apps and the ways that nonprofits and libraries can take advantage of this suite of free tools.
This webinar is ideal for decision makers, board members, accidental techies or anyone interested in learning how one nonprofit is successfully using online tools for collaborating.
You can discuss this webinar on Twitter with the hashtag #techsoup or join us for a live-stream of the event in Second Life.

With the number of supporting corporations currently at 37 (offering 392 different donated or discounted products) TechSoup Global has provided approximately 4.9 million donated technology products since program inception to NGOs around the world.

Right now, the way collaboration works in many offices is that one person sends out several copies of a document to colleagues for review. Those people make their edits, and then someone has to attempt to incorporate all of them in a way that makes sense, which can be labor-intensive and frustrating. A second version of the document is eventually produced and distributed, more edits are made, but then... There's always someone who sends in revisions to the first version late (see Rachel). And somehow that person's edits have to be incorporated into the third version. How do you solve this problem?
You move into what we call “the cloud.” The cloud model really enables a new kind of real time collaboration. Take our document example: the main problem was that everyone had a different copy of the document. In the cloud, there is only one version: the current version. Sure, we can keep copies of all the old versions to track changes, but when they’re working, everyone is on the same page. Collaborating in real time.
