I never looked at that before, but will set up one of their free accounts to give it a try. We have recently been using <a href="http://projects.zoho.com" rel="nofollow">Zoho Projects</a> to manage a server upgrade/relocation project involving about a dozen people. So far the project is going well and Zoho Projects has proven easy to use and very helpful. The integration with <a href="http://invoice.zoho.com" rel="nofollow">Zoho Invoice</a> is also a nice benefit for a few consultants that are contributing to the project - the consultants can track their time on each project task and then generate an invoice with one click. The invoices/payments are tracked for them in Zoho Invoice. Thanks for the heads-up on Deskaway. I never looked at that before, but will set up one of their free accounts to give it a try.

We use a system called <a href="http://www.deskaway.com/" rel="nofollow"> Deskaway </a> to manage our internal communications apart from chat. I think chat wastes time and i dont think Google apps fulfills the niche of an 'internal website' particularly well. DeskAway allows us to have be an online repository - something that Google apps doesnt do quite well alone. But i think the 2 work fabulously well together.
