PBWorks is a collaborative environment that started as PBWiki in 2005. In 2009, it was rebranded as PBWorks, a collaborative platform. I've used it since it was a simple wiki, both the free version and the educational version. It's one of the tools I recommend to students when they embark on group projects and need a reliable, free place to collaborate.
In May of this year, the next generation of its business solution was announced offering the what they call "first cloud-based collaboration software with massive scalability and the security features enterprise businesses need." The scalability feature allows businesses to move from a single corporate account to include thousands of individual workspaces and store multiple terabytes of data. The search feature is a universal "faceted" feature that allows users to refine search results by a variety of parameters including file type and who last edited the document.
In an article published online yesterday in Law Technology News, the PBWorks Legal Edition was described. The Legal Edition "supports document sharing, co-counsel teamwork, client interactions, and overall management of complex cases and the teams that handle them." A template store makes getting started easy; one, a Departmental Workspace template, can be used to set up an intranet-style workspace for a department or group. Read the article to learn more about PBWorks Legal Edition. And visit PBWorks to create your own collaborative environment.
