Highly configurable collaboration and document management tool, which needs to be customized by technical users for business use.

When to Use

• Storing personal documents that no one else needs to see
• Documents that need to be shared individually
• Temporary content, not yet ready for sharing (such as draft documents, notes, presentations, etc.)

• For chat-based communication for collaboration
• The collaboration is more ad-hoc, for when colleagues informally work together on small, short-term or transitory projects or initiatives
• When robust document management is not a requirement 

• For more structured collaboration, where team members need to coordinate steps and work in an organized manner
• When there's a need for robust document management capabilities (metadata, versioning, check in/out, approvals, audit trails, workflows, etc.)
• When there's desire to have tight administrative controls and governance around site management
