Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet.

A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network.

Short messages are typically transmitted bi-directionally between two parties, when each user chooses to complete a thought and select "send".

Some IM applications can use push technology to provide real-time text, which transmits messages character by character, as they are composed.

More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat.

A document management system (DMS) is a system (based on computer programs in the case of the management of digital documents) used to track, manage and store documents and reduce paper.

Most are capable of keeping a record of the various versions created and modified by different users (history tracking).

The term has some overlap with the concepts of content management systems.

It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management (ECM) systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems and records management systems.

Project management is the discipline of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria.

A project is a temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.

The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services.

In practice, the management of these two systems is often quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies.

Task management is the process of managing a task through its life cycle.

It involves planning, testing, tracking and reporting.

Task management can help either individuals achieve goals, or groups of individuals collaborate and share knowledge for the accomplishment of collective goals.

Tasks are also differentiated by complexity, from low to high.

Social collaboration refers to processes that help multiple people or groups interact and share information to achieve common goals.

Such processes find their 'natural' environment on the internet, where collaboration and social dissemination of information are made easier by current innovations and the proliferation of the web.
