    YugmaTM believes that web collaboration is for everyone, not just people in large companies. We also believe good ideas deserve to be shared, regardless of resources or geographic location. These two beliefs drove us to create an easy-to-use, affordable web collaboration service that works on Windows, Mac and Linux. It is our hope that Yugma will help you to share your ideas, learn more, stay connected with friends and family, feel the need to fly to fewer meetings, and have a more successful business.
