Other Information:

The goal should be: To establish a government-wide collaboration environment of multiple loosely-coupled collaboration services, primarily those services already existing for intra-department use. Different services meet different needs. Loose coupling facilitates: extensibility; exploratory usage of new services; support of department historical or preferred services. Loose coupling reduces dependence on single provider. Rather than to simply choose a new collaboration tool aimed at inter-department collaboration. Attempts to choose a single tool (e.g., OMB MAX, CORE.gov) have met with only limited success.
