When people deal with each other, they use three key approaches: conversing, transacting and collaborating (teamworking).
If you care to make the correct choice with regard to software solution, you have to get to know the differences that are significant between those interactions.
Conversational interaction is an exchange of information and transactional interaction is an exchange of a transaction entity between 2 or more people involeved, whereas collaborative interaction is employed for a change of a collaboration entity, for example: achievement of a common objective.
Interactions of collaboration are organized in such a way that the main goal of the participants is to introduce changes into the collaboration substance from something unstable and intangible, for example, an idea, into a useful solution, for example a design solution.
Collaborative software is related to groupware programs that let people exchange information and work as a team on various tasks.
The strong point of these tools lies in the ability to allow participants to see action plans, access shared documents, track projects, manage schedules, optimize business processes, be duely notified of any new objectives and events they are involved in. You may come across a number of approaches to making these applications useful: scheduling events, papers and projects, optimizing business processes and coordinating work of two or more departments or even companies.
