File Converters are Coming:

“We are running on target and expect to release a free public beta version of the file format converters in Spring 2007, with final converters available six to eight weeks after we launch our next version of Office for Mac (which, as previously reported, will be available 6-8 months after general availability of Win Office.)” http://blogs.msdn.com/macmojo/archive/2006/12/05/converters-coming-free-and-fairly-fast.aspx

Florida Emergency Management

Planning, tracking, responding to natural disasters – deployed for 2005 hurricane seasonField work and data gatheringWorking across federal, state, county, and private sector boundariesLots of information, lots of change, response time is key

“Because of its architecture of dealing with distributed workforces over different scales of time and locations, and the ability to manage common projects and issues across workspaces, Groove is the closest thing I’ve seen to reflecting the world of disaster response.”

Craig FugateDirector,

Florida Division of Emergency Management

Siemens Medical Systems

Product deployment projectsTeam work with vendors, customersHighly mobile team membersIntegration with the structured business process and corporate databases

Most project managers couldn’t use the Web applications on our systems from the field because it was too painful to dial in. Now, every action is recorded in Groove, pumped out to the data warehouse, where we can run reports.
