The problem is, we all already live and work in silos... it is called 'my work environment'. The problem is really about which systems we should use, and that comes down to corporate and/or IT policies as much as which is the right sort of tools to use. We have opted for Ice3 Online Collaboration (http://www.ice3-portal.co.uk), and this works well for us in our business world (with our clients and partners), but inevitably creates a silo of its own. I don't know what the answer is here.

Some examples of "total collaboration" solutions are <a href="http://www.zimbra.com" rel="nofollow">Zimbra</a> (on premise) and <a href="http://www.hyperoffice.com" rel="nofollow">HyperOffice Collaboration Suite</a> (web based).
