Multi user software

What is multi user software ? *Multi user software* is a type of computer-based systems that enable multiple persons to use them concurrently; usually they work through client-server technology. The principles realized in multiuser computer tools stand for regulated sharing of the common informational sources ( multi user databases ) and for proving the same instruments ( multi user interfaces ) for people who are engaged into common activity. In such a way, multi user software is instrument supporting collaboration in workgroups, forming a shared virtual environment where people can exchange essential information along with having multi user access to common, approved and authorized data. Some of well-known products such as MS Excel, Outlook and MS Project can work in multi user mode , but they use different technologies for this purpose. MS Outlook and MS Project require additionally paid multi user license supported with special software like MS Exchange and MS Sharepoint.
Multi user software technology: As it was mentioned before multi user architecture is usually based on client-server principles. These principles are the following: shared data source ( multi user database ) is driven by the server component of software ( multi user server ) which actually allows and supports multi user access into this database, performed from allocated multi user terminals – clients, or client applications. In other words, multi user software can be deployed over local computer network where multi user terminals (individual computers) are interconnected through and serviced by the main server computer. On each individual PC, there can be client component of multi user software installed, providing multi user interface, and searching for the multi user server component that is placed on the main server computer. Stable connection between the server and the clients allows creating and driving *multi user environment* where multiple users can collaborate in real-time regime, immediately watching changes made within the system by their teammates.

	Multi user software benefits: Owing to capabilities provided by multi user virtual environments a lot of activity spheres can be supported by such software. Multi user computer networks give wide opportunities for data sharing and coordination. Actually, if to speak about task and time management, multi user mode means real-time updating of information in multi user database, so every time when team members look into their client applications, running on their computers, they can see the latest variants of schedules and timetables, so if some mistakes are made while composing the project calendar, as soon as they are corrected, everyone will get aware of this – that's because of recording and retrieving data from the common source. Basically, multi user software increases awareness of collaborating people and boosts up informational turnover, because of avoiding papers that are traditionally used in business collaboration.
Multi user environmentin project and task management: VIP Task Manager is striking example of multi user software allowing workgroup members to plan and share their tasks described with multiple parameters, and to control these tasks through using adjustable interface modes ( Task List, Task Tree, Calendar ) for keeping aware of workperformance, team and individual productivity, for identifying project evolution, controlling costs and efficiency. Multi user software license for VIP Task Manager doesn't need any additional payments and instruments as this program was initially designed for multi-user collaboration, however, it can be used in single user regime as well.
