Online Collaboration Tool Brings Freelancers Together

March 26, 2009 – 10:22 pm

These days, a lot of people are going out on their own, working for themselves and doing freelance projects. The problem many freelancers are finding though is that most larger projects require a full team of developers and analysts, making it difficult to find other freelancers to pull together a team.

A new collaboration network has been setup for such freelancers to productivily put together teams and increase their opportunites for contracts in the UK. freelanceadvisor.co.uk allows freelancers to search for people with similar skillsets and create a virtual team online, greatly increasing the scope of projects that they can bid on.

Freelanceadvisor.co.uk Advisor, Darren Fell:

We have created an online collaborative network that allows individual contractors and freelancers to build a virtual team online. Its tough enough out there for freelancers and contractors and there is no need, with the technology tools we have available now, for communication to be a barrier

The site provides tools for the team to stay in touch as if they shared an physical office, ensuring that the entire team knows where they are on the project and enabling everyone to stay on the same page. While the “Network” as it’s more commonly known by won’t fit every style of contractor, for many it has become a way to broaden its offerings in contract bids.
