Introduction:

Collaboration is a working practice whereby individuals work together to a common purpose to achieve business benefit. 

Collaboration enables individuals to work together to achieve a defined and common business purpose. It exists in two forms:

• Synchronous, where everyone interacts in real time, as in online meetings, through instant messaging, or via Skype, and
• Asynchronous, where the interaction can be time-shifted, as when uploading documents or annotations to shared workspaces,  or making contributions to a wiki
