Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the concept of collaborative IT infrastructure. Based on data from our own research plus case studies from the literature we propose a framework for the implementation of such infrastructure at the level of hardware, software, and protocols or guidelines on how to manage such projects. This framework is applied to a typology of projects including four dimensions: number of sites, number of projects, locus of project (intra versus interorganizational), and level of cultural homogeneity versus heterogeneity. The resulting insights allow us to present considerations on the successful implementation of a collaborative IT infrastructure for different types of virtual projects. A summary of insights obtained and future research suggestions are also offered.
