What is a collaborative workspace?

Acollab is a collaborative platform that allows you to create as many collaborative workspaces (or projects) as you wish.

A workspace can be created for each of your teams or work groups, or for each of your projects, or for each of your customers.

In a workspace you define the permissions for each user, then you set up the applications you want to use (files, messages, projects, agenda, wiki, forum, survey, task monitoring…).

A collaborative workspace is therefore an online virtual space dedicated to a group of people with different tools to make teamwork easier (communication, information sharing and member coordination).

It is also a great traceability tool so that everyone can follow the progress of projects.
