Abstract
This paper provides an approach to evaluating collaboration tools for distributed teams. Selected tool characteristics that increase tool usefulness will be presented and this set of characteristics will be used as the evaluation framework. The value of each tool will be determined by the amount of characteristic presence. A number of tools will be evaluated with this framework.
