Abstract
A user-friendly web-based team collaboration solution that provides diverse team members the opportunity to participate in synchronous and asynchronous activities through a teamspace. Using a single platform that integrates team collaboration with business process management, team activities may be implemented through ad-hoc tasks and business process management driven steps to accomplish specific business objectives. Using this single platform, collaboration artifacts may also be managed through a records management system, thus making team collaboration efforts available as records. Numerous method variations, as well as related systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
