Groupware server - Why should you use a client-server groupware?

Does your organization use a task management software solution? Does this solution have a groupware server and a groupware client which both are parts of the groupware technology? If no, then do you want to know about new opportunities that your organization will gain if such a groupware technology is implemented? Those organizations which already use groupware servers and groupware clients within the groupware technology provide their employees with shared access to critical folders contained on groupware servers and real time collaboration through the interface of groupware clients. During testing and using of the groupware architecture, these organizations have understood one important thing: comprehensive groupware architecture allows reducing costs of communication, establishing real time collaboration, improving employee productivity, and giving a complete work visibility.

Why doesn't your organization get the same benefits and implement efficient groupware architecture? Just imagine how the groupware architecture will do its work. Let's see how it works. The marketing department of your organization has prepared the plan for the coming month. Then this plan is presented at a meeting to general company's management and successfully approved. A copy of the approved plan is sent by email to everyone in the marketing department together with task lists to accomplish the plan step by step. Upon arrival of the task lists and the plan, each employee will review the plan and get a personal task list to do. During fulfillment of the plan, the department head can arrange daily or weekly sessions in the form of real-time chats with subordinates to discuss issues arisen. At the end of every week or month each employee will report about completed points in the plan and statuses of outstanding tasks.

This example demonstrates how the workflow of your marketing department can be organized by using the groupware technology. The groupware server will store all information in one location and the groupware client will provide convenient and usable interface to access this information. Such a concept is realized in VIP Task Manager which is based on the groupware technology. This groupware example lets you establish good task management in your organization which is supported by real time collaboration and easy information exchange.VIP Task Manager consists of groupware server and the groupware client. The groupware server is due to be installed on a dedicated server or any PC in the network. The groupware client is due to be installed on office computers of your employees.
