>From the perspective of someone who works with both offshored and outsourced vendors. Email is the best for accountability, unfortunately the enterprise client is Notes which sucks harder than a dyson.
For day to day itteration work, IRC for an office like discussion (unsecure though) and skype for IM/Voice detail orientated conversations. I use adium but will try to get peers over to skype. >From a design perspective, with dedicated hardware like the Philips VOIP8411B which will also plug in to your 19th century lines along side skype-in/out, the easy progression from im to voice, easy group IM etc etc.. I find its the best all round communications solution. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
