Broadly defined, any technology that facilitates the linking of two or more humans to work together can be considered a collaborative tool. Wikipedia, Blogs, and Twitter are collaborative tools. The spreadsheet isn’t – it’s a personal productivity tool designed to function as an individual silo. Anaplan is – it’s a cloud-based platform built to be 100% instantaneously collaborative from the get-go, enabling 100s of users from anywhere in the world, partitioned by role or by function, to access the same data and use it to build or change models simultaneously online.
