“Groupware software (or collaborative software) is
designed to enable users to collaborate, regardless of location,
via the internet or a corporate intranet and to work together in a
virtual atmosphere.“In an organisation, productivity rests on the intranet, and a
groupware or collaboration server is what helps to make the
intranet productive. This type of software provides critical
services like email and address books, and establish communication
via instant messaging.“To provide an insight into the quality of software that is
available, we have compiled a list of 9 excellent groupware
servers. We have included web based solutions as well as classic
client-server solutions.”
