Collaborative data management for business: A review of collaborative techniques

In this paper, we conducted a review of techniques and methods used for collaborative data management for business purposes on the WEB. The aim was to propose a document flow optimization and to offer an information technology support for all departments of an organization. In a business organization or a firm, professionals involved in solving specific tasks either use the same data (common information) or the activity of one professional depends on the current status of activity of another business colleague. Therefore, it is necessary to find the quickest and most convenient method to access the shared resources, to facilitate the structural data exchange between members of the same organization, as well as a real time update of shared information. Beyond that, a special attention should be given to information security, involving both storage systems and data access protocols.
