Auxiliary information tools refer to the new class of technologies that support the Internet. These basically include three upcoming methodologies: Unified Communications (UC), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Social Computing. All these tools aim at increasing the efficiency, productivity, operational synergies and profits of the enterprise. These three collaboration tools provide facilities to manage and organize communication, support web conferencing and online business meetings.

Many of these concepts are still at the stage of infancy. These three technologies enable Internet based collaborations with the stakeholders of an organization, by supporting online business meetings, improving business processes, and enabling integration of IT with the overall objectives of the organization.

The three technologies essentially converge to improve the image of the enterprise in the marketplace as a quality service provider and make it dynamic to the changing demands of the customers and the needs of the environment. A set of various enabling tools are key to their overall convergence. Prominent amongst them are online collaboration software that forms the foundation for effective internet collaboration. These technologies coupled with other tools, allow for seamless flow of information over corporate intranets and extranets along with the public Internet bringing stakeholders accessible to each other.
