This is a summay table from John Udell's Feb. 14 review in InfoWorld.|
Groove Workspace 2.5 |
Business Case - To work productively, people must have the right contacts, messages, and files at the right time. E-mail is a poor substitute for the richly integrated experience that Groove provides.
|
Technology Case - Despite their limitations, e-mail and the Web are the bread and butter of daily work. Now, with Groove Web Services, there are integration hooks that make it easy to connect Groove shared spaces to the mainstream.
