Abbreviated as ECS,
Enterprise Collaboration Systems is a type of information
system (
IS). ECS is a combination of
groupware, tools,
Internet, extranets and other networks needed to support
enterprise-wide
communications, such as the sharing of documents and knowledge to specific teams
and individuals within the enterprise. Some examples of enterprise communication
tools include
e-mail,
videoconferencing, collaborative document sharing, project
management tools and others. The objective of an ECS is to provide each user
with the tools for managing communications, documents and other information
that individuals need to manage their own tasks efficiently in their
departments.
