Can SugarSync Save Your Company Document Pain?
Each time I hear, think or blog about SugarSync , I feel the pain of my virtual team. We also have started sending deliberate, emphatic emails to each project team saying “I am now giving up this document. The Business level of SugarSync gives administrative controls such as adding and removing users at any time and setting specific access and storage limitations for each team member. I got a demo earlier this week of SugarSync ’s new features, then Kevin over at jkOntheRun beat me to the punch with his features announcement post ( SugarSync Adds Email Attachment Uploads, 500 GB Plan ).

Informal information management and knowledge management are not the same
Problems in design could be spotted, discussed and resolved with the assistance of other team members and the end result was quality work going out the door. Many things have changed over the last 20 plus years and I feel we have lost that level of communication, team effort and indiviualism through the advent of computers. In the age of virtual teams we need to somehow still keep a level of ambient awareness, communication It’s absolutely paramount that KM sheds its skin of codifying and storing in a database…this is just information management.

  • What Does It Take to Run a Virtual Team?
    As more and more companies and teams are going strictly virtual, there are a whole new set of issues to consider and challenges to address. Using my own virtual social media marketing team as an example, I’ve identified a number of needs that require some kind of technology solution, but at the moment, we are “patchwork quilting” our tech infrastructure to accommodate all of our needs.

  • A brief guide to successful virtual teams
    More from my personal archives… I've hinted at these ideas before, but here is more comprehensive overview. While it might not be recognised, in many organisations collaborating together as part of a virtual project team or a remote workgroup (where the staff are not co-located with each other, including tele-workers) is a normal fact of working life. For example, even in a large organisation people may find themselves working virtually even if they are based in the same place, because they have little or no face-to-face interaction with the people they are working with.

  • Establishing Team Culture in a Teleworking Environment

  • Building a Team With Inexperienced Online Freelancers
    I was recently asked to manage a team of graphic designers, all of them fresh graduates with hardly any professional experience. Always eager to help, I accepted the opportunity, knowing that it would be challenging and educational, for both myself and the team. If your team of newbies is perceptive enough, they can spot these flaws for you. I soon discovered that working with new freelancers is very different from working with my more accomplished peers.

  • SugarSync and Your Virtual Team
    While speaking with the CEO of SugarSync, I quickly realized that my post about running a virtual team was missing a critical component: backup. How could SugarSync fit into my ever-expanding vision of efficient management of a virtual team? While our team does save important files to our 5pm project management tool, finding them can be a bit challenging. File sync and backup service SugarSync (which we’ve blogged about before ) just announced new small-business friendly features , including a central admin feature to manage from three to 100 users collaborating and sharing files using the app.
