Using Groove 2007 to stay in synch

  • Article

            

  • This short demo shows succinctly how Groove 2007 can be used effectively. One of the examples/problems shown is how to alleviate chain-mail, whereby people can end up having to trawl through a long email with multiple replies and subsequent out of synch file attachments

  • Groove acts as a lynchpin in making sure teams can collaborate effectively across multiple time zones and disciplines, at the office, home or on the road. Groove can also be combined with SharePoint to publish content to a central portal. The best way I can describe Groove is akin to a structured scratchpad, were you can store documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, InfoPath forms, you name it, in a peer to peer, or peer-peer-server hosted infrastructure. Groove acts as a peer-peer collaboration tool, keeping everyone in synch, seamlessly and securely. And for me one of the really neat things is that Groove can punch through firewalls and home routers whilst securely passing only changes (deltas) to other users systems
