OT: teaming and Conferencing

Hi,

It has been awhile since we evaluated T+C, but here goes..

network drives are solid! 
maybe do some re-thinking about the folder hierarchy and that's it..
for indexing and searching, QuickFinder would give an easy solution.

> What about emails, ect ... will it pull in email from GW that is

Nope, don't think so.

> What about calendar -- will meetings that have been scheduled in GW
> for a project somehow be visible in T+C?

Nope, don't think so. Appointments from T+C goes to GW, but not the otherway.. it is not a real migration or sync :/

Setting the Teaming part for testing is quite simple. The Conferencing part is more tricky and then there was the hassle with the voiceboard hardware.

Teaming looked like a nice product to consolidate different wikis, blogs and teamspace solutions into one product. Conferencing looked quite awful.
