WIKI

    Today more and more big corporations are benefiting from the use of wiki's. As the article               7 Effective Wiki Uses and the Companies That Benefit From Them reports seven big companies that are currently using Wiki's for team collaboration, design, and work groups. The companies that participated in the article are; SAP, IBM, Pixar, Red Ant, Sun Microsystems, Sony Ericsson, and Carbon Five. The article describes and goes on to explain how the Wiki's began inside the company via the "techies" within the company creating their own work groups in order to expedite a project and to keep it organized. Also discussed in the article are references to how some of the companies ask their consumers or clients about a particular product or design  and how it is currently suits their particular expectations. The companies then use the feedback to perfect the design for the client or adapt the design to the consumers wants/needs. A particularly unique feature that Sony Ericsson uses in it's Wiki usage is the English language. All posters and contributors to the wiki must use English. The companies that participated in the article are from around the globe. The global perspective gives readers the assurance that wiki's are not just a US tool for workload collaboration and organization.
