The platform empowers virtual communities to work in a new and more efficient way. The product is an Open Source Collaboration tool based on the concept of "What you see is what you have access to", utilising the power of J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) technology.
The Collaboration Platform was developed in order to provide organisations with a "common ground" on which various teams, composed by members of the organisation (e.g. staff, partners, clients, suppliers, etc.), can work and collaborate effectively. The whole platform divides its resources into logical groups (called Communities) and smaller subsets (called Workgroups). Each Workgroup constitutes effectively a mini Web site, where its Members can use various services in order to enhance their teamwork, coordination and collaboration. A Member needs to be authenticated by providing a username and password combination, before entering one of the Workgroups of the Collaboration Platform. Furthermore, each Member has a User Profile, which defines their access rights for each service, including access to specific actions, sections and/or services.
The platform offers the following services:
" Group Manager" Web Manager" Document Manager" Forum" Email & SMS notifications" Workflow & Workflow designer" Web Content Management" Knowledge Management
