It taught groupware everything it knows. Much like the Internet and all intranets, groupware permits users to view shared files. But when it comes to sharing information, groupware goes the extra mile. It allows users to easily access, update and make copies of files across platforms and from sundry sources and servers. By enabling messaging, information sharing, collaboration, calendaring and scheduling, groupware removes many communication barriers - streamlining the work environment.
Users communicate to a broader audience in richer, and in many cases, more productive ways.
Today groupware is loaded with Internet messaging standards. And e-mail is the essence of the software. Another way the software makes communication easier is with calendaring and scheduling. Users electronically post their schedules for the rest of the group to view freely. With this feature, users don't waste time setting appointments.
