Abstract

The fast evolution of the Information Systems (IS) during the last decade makes it able to cover more areas in business and other fields. One example of these areas is the way that people communicate and collaborate in business environments. In business, the digital or IT collaboration is divided into electronic communication tools, electronic conferencing tools, and collaborative management tools. The previous mentioned systems have evolved tremendously in the last few years in order to improve the way a group of people from the same organization work together in a productive way. Also, Computer-Supported cooperative work (CSCW) is centrally concerned with teamwork, learning, problem solving, knowledge building, task accomplishment and other cognitive achievements by small groups of people. There are many theories useful for framing the cognitive work that groups undertake in CSCW settings, and they may in principle not be reducible to a single theory. This Chapter will look in details into the origin of the digital collaboration, its importance for work environments and its types. Also it will explain the different digital collaboration tools.
