Hi folks,
Complements of our own Greg Shipley, Ron Anderson, and Lori MacVittie, I've compiled a short list of requirements and products our editors have considered for their own lab and production networks.
To find favor with our editors, an enterprise collaboration tool must:
It must have a robust group calendar/scheduling solution
It must allow some users to use other e-mail systems
It must have the option of supporting web clients for calendaring,as not all of our staff runs Win32, and we have no plans on migrating non-Win32 users.
It must have a usable interface
It should not require MS IIS, as we've had enough security problems with IIS already.
It should have PDA sync abilities
It must be a product that wasn't coded poorly (back to the security problem). We'd prefer something that not only has security features, but something that was DESIGNED to be secure.
It should be cost-effective for small organizations
Not requiring Win32 as a hosting platform would be nice (Linux would be ideal)
It must not suck.
And here are some of the products our editors are considering or using
Stalker Software communiGate Pro -- in use in our Syracuse, NY lab
We'd like to hear from you. Given the above requirements, which messaging/collaboration solution would you recommend?
