VNCgroupware

VNCgroupware is not a separate application — it is the bundle that turns four products into one groupware proposition:

VNCmail — email
The calendar in VNCmail — calendars, appointments and resource booking
VNCcontacts — address books, companies and consent
VNCfiles — the shared file core, briefcase and attachments

Under one name, one licence and one sign-in, that is the complete classical groupware stack most organizations actually need — mail, calendar, contacts and files — without importing a proprietary collaboration platform with its own directory, its own cloud and its own terms.

What it delivers

One deployment instead of four. The four products share identity, storage and policy, so there is one place to provision, back up and audit.
One user experience. The mail app carries Calendar, Contacts and Files in its rail; a user moves between mail, a meeting, a contact and a file without switching products or signing in again.
One procurement. A single bundle line instead of four product lines, with the modules still individually attributable.
A predictable migration target. All four modules use open standards (JMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, WebDAV), so an existing mail or groupware system can be replaced without a proprietary lock-in.

What is in the bundle

Module	Role in the bundle
VNCmail	The mailbox: read, compose, filters, search, S/MIME; carries the other three modules in its navigation.
Calendars in VNCmail	Appointments, invitations and RSVPs, free/busy, recurrence, resource booking, tasks.
VNCcontacts	Address books for the organization and for external contacts, with consent and duplicate hygiene.
VNCfiles	Files, folders, attachments and the briefcase, with one permission model and governance.

Typical use

An organization replaces a hosted mail and calendar service in one step and keeps mail, calendars, contacts and shared files together.
A team opens a meeting invitation from mail, sees the attendee’s contact card and the attached agenda from the file store — in the same session.
An administrator provisions new employees from the directory; mailbox, calendar, address book and file space are available at first sign-in.

How it fits the suite

The four modules are also available individually; the bundle is the packaging.
VNCdirectory and VNCportal provide identity and sign-in.
VNCchat und VNCvideo and VNCchannels cover real-time communication; the groupware covers mail, calendar, contacts and files.
VNClagoon AI adds summaries and drafting across the bundle.
