I am Computer Science graduate student.I have been a part of the professional Software Industry prior to joining the Masters program in Texas A&M and have developed a few enterprise Software Solutions. 

Being in a product company, it was required of me to interact with several clients regarding the conception and development of the modules that the softwares needed to provide. Hence i have strongly felt the need of a seamless growupware that can easily be accepterd by non-technical cliens as well for the efficient functioning of the development phase and delivery. 

This largely motivated me to take the course where I am looking forward to learn the nuances of a groupware and critically analyse tools that can be used in the context of collaboration between various teams in an organization.

Some collaborative softwares I have used 

• Google Docs
• Microsoft Word [ using annotations and comments for reviews and modification]

I use Gmail and Facebook to stay in touch with friends.

The professional tools I have used for meeting are

• GoToMeeting
• AnyConnect
