Jon Udell : MS Office “system” attacks collaboration

When Microsoft took a $US51 million stake in Groove Networks two years ago, the motivation was clear. Collaboration would be one of the themes of the new decade; Office needed to become a more compelling platform for teamwork. Office 2003 attacks the challenge not by splicing in Groove DNA, but rather by cobbling together a solution that enhances the core productivity apps using SharePoint and the new Live Communications Server. The results are delightful in some ways, perplexing in others, and mostly tangential to collaboration’s bread-and-butter application, email.

Groove offers a new webcast showcasing the benefits of using Groove Workspace Project Edition to manage distributed projects. This webcast is presented by Brigitte Hayes from Team Direction. I had some difficulties accessing the webcast as there seemed to be something wrong with the current page, it will probably be fixed soon so i'll try again later.
