Chatter: Collaboration around  Files
  •  The term Files means Document
  • Load Files
  • Search Files
  •  Follow Files – This means you get notified every time there is a change; you can have discussion groups around the File – Private or Public
  •  As a File could be an Executive Report then you have collaboration around the document
  • File Version Management – ensure people access the latest version
  • Private File Sharing  - meaning you name the people that can view the File
  •  Avoids the need for email to send copies of Files in attachments – now you load once and have multiple assess – this will cut down a lot of email traffic and cut down server storage
