eGroupWare is an enterprise ready web-based groupware suite.
It is a flexible framework capable of hosting applications such as group calendar, address book, project management, e-mail, accounting, inventory, and more. These applications share a user store and a flexible access control system to control information sharing.
One of the applications that eGroupWare can be used for is to help project managers effectively manage projects. It provides valuable assistance in managing schedules, contacts, emails, tasks and files.
At the core there is an API for PHP that allows creating new web-based applications that work within this framework.
