Technologies used by virtual teams
Skype[4] is a software technology that helps to replace the need for face-to-face communication between virtual team members. Skype works by presenting peer-to-peer VoIP features (voice over Internet Protocol) that gives a virtual team the ability to be able to make telephones calls from computers anywhere in the world. This translates into reduced expenses because telephone calls made with Skype travel over the company's data network rather than the phone company's network.

TelePresence[6] is the brand name of an enterprise videoconferencing system that was created by Cisco Systems. Sumner Lemon, a journalist for IDG News Service, was all praises for the videoconferencing system that includes "life-size, high-definition video...the screens create the illusion of a virtual table, with up to 12 participants seated around the same table." In early 2010, Cisco Systems began marketing a newer, enhanced version of its TelePresence 3000 series enterprise videoconferencing system called Cisco CTS 3210, that seats up to 18 participants on one side of the virtual table."

Zoho Creato[7] is an easy-to-use software used to build a shareable online database system that collects and stores data in cyberspace. According to the company's website, the database software "is a web based software that helps you create online database apps to organize your business information." Zoho Creator offers an "organized mechanism for storing, managing and retrieving business information over the web, anywhere, anytime." In addition, Zoho Creator is built on a web-based platform that is scalable, and this translates into a product that can easily be integrated into the existing technological infrastructure of any virtual team.
