Efficient sharing of artifacts between collaboration applications

A computer hardware system, comprising:

• a hardware storage device having stored therein computer readable program code;
• and
• a hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations found within the computer readable program code:
• evaluating each of a plurality of collaborative systems for suitability hosting an artifact according to at least one attribute of the artifact;
• selecting a first collaborative system from the plurality of collaborative systems according to the evaluation;
• storing the artifact in the first collaborative system;
• and
• automatically creating a link within a second collaborative system different from the first collaborative system pointing to the artifact in the first collaborative system.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a hardware storage device having stored therein computer readable program code,
• the computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:
• evaluating each of a plurality of collaborative systems for suitability hosting an artifact according to at least one attribute of the artifact;
• selecting a first collaborative system from the plurality of collaborative systems according to the evaluation;
• storing the artifact in the first collaborative system;
• and
• automatically creating a link within a second collaborative system different from the first collaborative system pointing to the artifact in the first collaborative system.
