Interview with Microsoft VP Jeff raikes about "the office of the future" at Fortune.com. Link by Michael Herman "Many companies are thinking about what I call the knowledge worker supply chain," he said. "It's a great concept I learned from Ray. [Ozzie's long been one of the few software outsiders Microsoft executives openly admire.] Pharmaceutical companies, for instance, can't hire all the scientists they need, so to build the next generation of drugs they have to create teams across organizational boundaries. Groove facilitates that part of the supply chain."

quote from Infoworld article about  .NET oct. 2001: Using SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol), Groove has built an extensible integration framework called the Remote Client Framework, which allows the client to interact with any other environment capable of processing SOAP. "Ultimately the goal of the Remote Client Framework is to allow us to integrate with other environments either through a third-party application or through some other Groove client that we can connect through end-to-end security to tap into the native Groove environment," said Matt Pope manager of device platforms for Groove, based in Beverly, Mass.
