Event description

Communication and collaboration tools are equally important to Fortune 500 companies and small business owners. So much of our knowledge is managed via emails, spreadsheets, documents, and contact lists. How we safely share and distribute this information to our colleagues and trusted partners can be the difference between your business’ success and failure.

Unfortunately, small business owners often don’t have the time, budget, and resources to fully evaluate and test the limitless suite of tools, products, and hosted services available on the market. These products can improve operational efficiencies, expose valuable knowledge to colleagues, and enable your organization to effectively communicate–especially when many of us operate via multiple ‘home/office/apartment/coffee shop/[fill in your own]’-based work environments.

Whether you’re a Google convert, a Microsoft stalwart, an open source proponent, or still using filing cabinets, we invite you to share your knowledge.

I imagine if you changed this to social media and put it out on twitter or to the Seattle social media group you would be flooded. Cloud computing is a bit of a stretch for the pure biznik members

Would love to attend this! Researching Google apps is 'on my list'. However I can't get to this location at that time of day:( I hope to see a repeat of this event sometime in the evening and/or on the eastside.

Sherry, I appreciate the feedback on using Twitter--gosh there is so much to learn out there! As this is my first BizNik hosting event I will research Twitter for future events.

Tamara, I would love to schedule another session in the future. I know the Bellevue Starbuck's has a conference room that can be reserved.

Another aspect of hosted collaboration are on-line meetings using WebEx, Live Meeting, or Connect...So maybe an on-line discussion is in the cards, too?
