Collanos September 8, 2006

A colleague from Novell moved to Collanos - I looked at their products - and it’s interesting.

The Collanos Workplace seems to fill several of my needs for working with my team:

- document sharing and management
- team task lists
- discussions
- cross platform

Most importantly - the model is peer-to-peer. That means that none of my ‘corporate data’ ever lives on someone elses server. That was one of the major downsides to using something like Backpack or Basecamp. (Cool - but kinda interesting from a risk and security angle).

By having this ‘built’ and in the web it also means I don’t have to build an internal server, manage it, keep it safe, back it up - and also use VPN to get data in and out of it.

Feedback soon. I’ve sent the team the data - we should be running in a couple of days.
