Teamware Office is a set of groupware applications that provides users with an easy way of carrying out their office tasks and communicating with each other. Teamware Office includes facilities for electronic mail, time and resource scheduling, discussions, document management and retrieval; it helps users find, view, analyze and act on information in a user-friendly and timely way. The facilities are designed to meet the needs of users, whether they are individuals in local or remote offices, or members of a team within an enterprise or an external business partner.
Teamware Office is built on Internet standards. Relying on these open standards protects the existing IT investments and supports the stepwise deployment of Internet technology. At the heart of the system is a true X.500/LDAP based directory system that provides high scalability and connects users and information across sites securely.
Directory is the heart of Teamware Office. In addition to being a normal end user tool for maintaining personal address book and searching directory information, the Directory client provides tools to maintain the user and resource accounts, user and resource groups and user templates for the administrator. There are powerful and versatile server end tools for managing a large number of directory objects at once. Directory can host multiple organizational directories and it can exchange information with other directory systems via LDAP standard.

Teamware Office modules can be accessed with standard web browsers via WebService. This service enables fixed WWW addressing for any Teamware Office object over standard HTML templates. WebService does not require a separate web server. The administrator can modify the pre-defined HTML templates or create new ones.
Documents residing in the Teamware environment can be accessed from the Web. On one hand, this allows centralized and secure documentation control. On the other hand, it allows as wide a distribution of documents over the Web as desired. When appropriate, the documents, calendars, discussions, and messages residing in the Teamware environment can also be made available to non-Teamware users through the Web. WebService supports the SSL2 protocol for secure communication between servers and browsers.
Teamware Office supports both centralized and distributed system and user administration.

In addition, Teamware Office supports server based virus detection with the Network Associates Total Virus Defence package.
