This paper has reported on the findings of the implementation and utilisation of collaborative applications in the aerospace industry. An in-depth requirements analysis and tool evaluation process led to the implementation of both WebEx and Sametime. The described work represents MTU's first steps towards collaborative engineering that help to improve efficiency and speed up communication in distributed product development. The experience from the tool implementation and utilisation has shown that the technical implementation difficulties were much less critical than the human reluctance to use the new technology. Here, communication and training can support users in loosing their anxieties and appreciating the advantages of the new functionalities. The new tools are being integrated into MTU's new engineering tool landscape that will take shape within the next years.
