BSCW Social

BSCW Social combines project tasks, documents, chat and calendars in a browser workspace with hosted or self-managed deployment.

By OrbiTeam

Overview

Tasks can contain subtasks, documents and conversations, with deadlines, effort estimates and progress summaries. Optional personal time tracking lets each user control which statistics they share. The hosted service runs in Germany; self-hosting requires server administration. Online Office editing uses an add-on. A 90-day trial is distinct from the restricted self-hosted Free license, whose basic document, communication and wiki scope does not establish full project-task access. Free server support is not included.
