Collaborative Files I couldn't get through my day without Dropbox , which I have blogged about before. Dropbox continuously replicates local files to a personal cloud file space and synchronizes those folders across multiple computers and mobile devices. Within a personal file space, you can define shared folders with others.

A task management system folks will actually use - When they finish a task, will they remember to go to this tool and check it off? Files only as essential for project - not just to dump stuff. I have no clue, but it's nice to know that we're done with our business cards or that a file was uploaded 4 days ago. I'm not sure.

Getting all their in-house and on-line systems talking to each other seems to be a pressing concern of the organizations we work with. What are the challenges these groups are facing?

Do not settle for a system that ‘sort of’ works. As you aim for integration between systems, improve how systems collect and analyze data.

I figured the same system would work for the book, and so far, it seems to be bearing fruit. Self-Publishing with Print-On-Demand "Print on demand" systems allow you to upload book files (usually PDFs), which are then used to print books to order. My experience with all of this was generally good.

2) Get a wiki. Use it not only to advertise your services, but also to share files with clients, point to resources, clarify your working style/methods/contract, etc. Even having ‘touched’ a system is a lot more than not knowing what it is. get a good time tracking system.
