EGroupware

EGroupware is a browser-based, open-source groupware suite for teams and organisations, providing calendars, contacts, email, file management, tasks and project tools accessible from desktop and mobile browsers. It is developed and maintained by the EGroupware project and available as cloud packages or on-premises installations.

Key Features

• Unified online office: calendar, address book, tasks, projects, ticketing and integrated email client.
• Integrated online document editing via Collabora Online for collaborative editing of text, spreadsheet and presentation files.
• Modern frontend based on Web Components / Lit (notable tech change in recent releases).
• Flexible authentication and SSO options (OpenID Connect, OAuth, SAML) and LDAP/AD synchronization for user management.
• Multiple deployment options: Linux packages, Docker containers and cloud-hosted trial packages; push/notification server and integrations for chat/video/remote-desktop.

Use Cases

• Company intranet and team collaboration with shared calendars, tasks and project tracking.
• Secure document collaboration and editing with Collabora Online for teams avoiding desktop office installs.
• Centralised user/auth management for organisations using LDAP/AD and federated login (OpenID/OAuth/SAML).

Limitations and Considerations

• Full feature set and recommended installation path rely on distribution packages or Docker; a manual developer clone/install can be more complicated and may miss components (push-server, integrations).

EGroupware is a mature, extensible groupware platform aimed at organisations that require full data control and multiple integration points. It is actively developed with regular releases and public demos/trials available from the project.
