groupffice

Productivity and mobility are today's realities. As organizations and companies expand across geographical boundaries, the need to reduce the virtual distance between the users/groups working together increases. Groupffice provides a virtual collaboration platform using which individuals and groups can communicate, collaborate, organize and share information seamlessly.

Groupffice is a suite of collaboration components which includes E-mail, Documents, Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Message Boards, IM and more. The power of collaboration comes in when these individual components are shared and used within a group. Groupffice allows users to create multiple sharing resources and components, and use all of these components within groups unleashing the real power of collaboration. Be it your office, home, or anywhere on the road, all your data can be accessed from any computer that has an Internet connection and a web browser.
