As the result, they choose 2 software: Highrise for CRM and TeamworkLive for collaborative working system.
I do not have any idea about their choosing. However, I asked myself: what are alternative open source solutions for these needs. Actually, I am interested in collaborative working model. For a long time ago, I've had an idea about creating a software solution for collaborative working, but I do not have enough time to research carefully about this idea at that time.
In this topic, I only show you some open source solutions for collaborative working model that are available on Internet. I haven't had a detail look on these solutions. I hope you can. If you have more helpful information about these solutions or other solutions, please share to me also.

Hi,
Here is some nice collaboration tool:
http://www.clockingit.com/
http://www.redmine.org/
http://www.dotproject.net/
http://www.assembla.com/ <- This one is really nice, but not open source. Just use the free trial :-)
I'm doing some search too in this area.
Hope to share some more idea soon with you.
Arnaud
Thanks Arnaud for your sharing.
These tools are very interesting.
There are a lot of free/open source tools. This is also a good one http://openatrium.com/features.
I could combine to use some of them to make my life better (including the management tool such as TargetProcess or ThoughtWorks Mingle, not PI: I hate it hehe).
However, I don't care whatever you're using; according to me, the key of everything is the way you manage and the way you apply your methodologies/experiences/tools to proper situations (context, culture, ...). Top of all is still the human things!!! Do the best the human thing, you solved almost the problem!
Duy.
