Mashable - one the world’s largest blogs on tech and social networks - have released a great and comprehensive list of effective online apps to help create and run awesome companies.

The list covers all the key areas like “accounting”, “communications”, “CRM” … and of of course the most wonderful and important discipline of them all: “marketing & communication”.

It got me thinking; what do we use at TraceWorks to run our business? Here’s our internal list, as I remember it:

1. For marketing we use Headlight (integrated with Carma, Google, Microsoft CRM)
2. For invoicing and accounting we use e-conomic
3. For online presentations we use GoToMeeting
4. For live-chat-support we use Liveperson
5. For bug tracking and project management we use Ontime2008
6. For relationship management we use Microsoft Dynamics CRM
7. For internal collaboration (WIKI) our design team use Google Sites
8. For managing ad hoc external projects our marketing team use Basecamp
9. For website CMS we use Umbraco

and perhaps a few more ..?
