When I looked at free collaboration software a couple of years back we gravitated to using three or four.  Not one met all our needs yet there wasn't a pressing need to use one and only one for all our needs.  We as a team examined half a dozen or so and decided on a subset. Picking the list to me wasn't as important as getting the team members to feel like their input was valued and that it was 'their' choice.  I felt that participation would be directly related to that sense of having contributed than being simply asked  to join up and collaborating.I would include Google Apps in the mix for sure - get your own domain if you can.  Then depending on your specific needs and how you work the following might be worth considering:Google voice for a free virtual phone number that rings multiple phonesAccunote, teamness, CoMindWork, OpenACircle, Pelotonics, Project360, BaseCampHQ, RallyDev, PBWorks,Dropbox, Box.net, MediaFire, ZumoDrive, sync.live.com for file syncing and sharingCreativeProOffice, Office Live Workspace,FogBugz for software development teamsEvernote for note taking across multiple platformsTeamviewer and LogmeIn for remote access and one-to-one screen sharingsignNow ConnectNow for one to one screen sharingTungle.me and Timebridge for schedulingA publication (can't recall which) published the following "Fifty Free Resources for Startups" some months back (not all are collaborative):Dotomator.com and wordoid.com for name generationdomaintyper.com and godaddy.com for domain name generationlogoease.com and logomaker.com for logo designweebly.com and wix.com for website createrwordpress.com and blogger.comgoogle.com/apps and business.zoho.com for email servicebasecamp.com wave.google.com and zoho.comdoodle.com for online meeting schedulefaxzero.com for faxing fm computeryousendit.com for large files xfersmailchimp.com email marketingsurverymonkey.com for onlinebloglines.com reader.google.com for rss readerdropbox.com and box.net for file storagefiledropper.com mediafire.com for file sharingtadalists.com and rememberthemilk.com for to do listsdimdim.com yuuguu.com and mikogo.com for online and video meetinggoview.com and screenr.com for desktop sharingvyew.com and mikogo.com for desktop sharingaviary.com and picnik.com and pixlr.comzoho.com docs.google.com and thinkfree.com for doc editingzamzar.com and youconvertit.com for online file conversiondabbledb.com and creator.zoho.com for easy onlne forumlinkedin.com and xing.commindomo.com mindmeister.com for mind mappingyammer.com present.ly corporate micro bloggingdigg.com and delicious.com for book marking and researchdocstoc.com and scribd.com for pdf doc storage/sharingslideshare.net sliderocket.com for online presentation and sharingSorry if this has been a brain-dump but hopefully you'll find something that works for your team.  All the best...

In my experience one of the problems of CMS (or DAM) software is the requirement to keep it up to date, and open source tends to require updating more often, and or more work involved in doing so. I used to use Wordpress, Moveable Type, and Drupal and others for blog type stuff, but now I find it easier to just use Blogger (the bar at the top can be removed, there is just an unobtrusive Blogger link at the bottom). So thinking along the same lines, hosted systems includeDropbox 2GB free (extendible by introducing friends)Rapidshare 10GB freeBoth have desktop software that enable drag and drop and look rather like an external disk. Another option - if you don't mind updating - is Moodle, an educational content management system which has fairly advanced file sharing/uploading capabilities and a way of connecting to Google docs, Amazon S3 storage, Dropbox repository and a variety of other repositories. Another thing I do is take screen shots of my files and post them to Flickr. I think that this gives people an idea of what is on offer.

Investing in a digital document management system may not be a topic that automatically tops the list of priorities of many management teams but its importance should not be underestimated.An effective digital document management system can play a crucial role in helping an organisation to enhance the way information is stored, accessed and shared.In today’s digitally connected world, the expectation that information will be available on demand and accessible on any device is likely to be the norm for many people. However, it is still not uncommon to find organisations in which people may have to spend time rummaging through filing cabinets for a particular document, or scouring their emails in search of a specific piece of information.A digital document management system addresses these issues head on, helping to create more efficient and secure solutions to improve document workflows.The document management process begins with the conversion of paper documents, forms and records to electronic files. Electronic conversion eliminates the need for manual paper processes which may be prone to errors. It also does away with the need for the retrieval of physical files from filing cabinets or off-site storage.Read more at newsletter.ricoh.co.in

Having worked with a manufacturing giant in sales and marketing and developed our own system as an entrepreneur, I can say the most important things in evaluating a DMS would be:Are all documents being stored in the database? This could render the application and experience very sluggish. Its better done via metadata and stored locally within the organization Is there a proper and easy to use version management system? There are several versions to each document and storing each is quintessential to understand the project entirelyAre there too many forms and fields in forms that create your metadata? If so users usually would skip filling all of it altogetherIs the system flexible enough to avoid running to support for minor changes? Usually the document management systems installed with large organizations are like legacy software and a very small change in a form field needs support and therefore moneyIs the document flowing properly across departments? Documents need to transmitted to other departments with proper approvals and this workflow creation and editing needs to be flexible as people come and leave the organizations over time. Updating the system should be easy.Most of all is the system secure? Coz the application is actually a route to the most confidential documents like POs, estimation, design etc. Has the application and the actual document been isolated?
