Maybe... Most 'groupware' doesn't do quite what the Exchange/Outlook combination does. One feature that is important to the group I work with is that emailed meeting requests show up in the outlook personal calendar whether the email is opened/accepted or not, and that public calendars can accumulate and show what a group of people will be doing. For example we use one for 'scheduled maintenance' for a large group of people making changes on any network equipment or servers so it is possible to notice potential conflicting changes and back out things if problems are found later. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
