  Documentation and Communication

  I've worked at several agencies and corporate companies and have experienced similar pain points. Lack of or outdated documentation was the main pain point followed by limited visibility into project updates due to poor communication.

  RE: Collaboration: Tools & Technologies

  Hmmm. I would ask what is the size of the sample that you used for this study as well as the types of companies and sizes. The results seem fairly at odds with what the media tells us, and what I have seen first hand in dozens of companies I work with.
  
  Collaboration tools--wikis, social networking, WebEx, Telepresence, file sharing, unified communications and many other tools are in use and their usage is growing. Based on your study it seems that email is the mail form of collaboration. Email seems like a fairly narrow usage of collaboration technologies and very very dated...might be valid 10 years ago, but not sure if it's in sync with today.

  It wouldn't be true to say that Email is not used in organizations for Collaboration purposes. We have been using an enterprise collaboration suite which allows sharing of email accounts among team members called Taroby (www.taroby.com), in our organization. It really is an excellent application which equips teams to collaborate very effectively.
