Enterprise Collaboration Tools: Page 9 of 14

For collaboration, WorkSite MP uses a "cluster" of multiple services that are easily distributed in client-server environments. Among the services are a content-management server (CMS), an indexer, a Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server (JAMES), a notification engine and a library.

Unlike the other products we tested, WorkSite MP doesn't let you configure and manage services through a Web browser. Server management is limited to Java applications running on the server. We used the application's process manager to manage and configure WorkSite MP and start and stop services. A library manager joins services and data stored in libraries; we set up users and groups and organized them in "realms."

We used a wizard to create workspaces and set user access privileges. WorkSite MP comes with several templates to construct a workplace. Once the wizard was done, we added content and started collaborating.

Before starting a workflow process, you must download and install a template designer--there are no default workflow templates. Once we created a default workflow template, we imported it to the server. This wasn't difficult, but default templates would have been better.
