Abstract :
This paper examines an experience with two contrasting cases of developing similar collaborative online workspaces for teams distributed across many organizations. The paths for these development efforts involved traditional html/database technologies and Microsoft SharePoint technologies. The paper discusses the benefits and hindrances resulting from each implementation and illustrates novel uses of SharePoint.
