In the age of ‘information explosion’ it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and organize data. And for a startup organizing and control at an early stage is really important. The following web apps will make sharing and collaboration much easier for a startup:

Basecamp: A great web-based project collaboration tool. It brings the people involved in a project together and makes communication easier. Assigning tasks, sharing files, tracking time and meeting deadlines – all becomes easier with basecamp. It has a 30-day free trial period and then you can choose from various reasonable plans available. A highly recommended web app to use – it doesn’t break your bank and provides first-class collaborating service (both internal and external).

Dropbox: It provides online storage space. There are so many files and documents that need to be stored and accessed frequently and dropbox makes this very easy. Not only storage but features like file sharing and offline backup of your files (which any member of your staff can access) are also provided by this tool. It is relatively inexpensive and easy to use.

Google Apps: This is a web-based collaboration and communication tool for businesses launched by Google. Calendars, e-mail, contacts, document sharing are a few features of this tool. Very useful and highly recommended for all startups.

Dimdim: It’s an outstanding tool to conduct web conferences online. The application works entirely from your web-browser – no need to download anything. Save on traveling expenses and conduct meetings, presentations and seminars online.
