I am trying to work out whether/how Groove may be able to help but am
becoming more and more confused by what I read and what I am told by our
license provider. Hoping someone can clarify!
I am based in the UK and am a governor for a small school. There are a
maximum of 20 governors who need to share information, some of which is
confidential. At times there may be others with whom we need to share
specific information. I believe that Groove may help us to do this more
efficiently and would like to pilot this but need some help to put a proposal
to the board.
My questions specifically are:-
- if we ensured all participants had Groove 2007 on their PCs, could we
simply "get going"? (Using initially free trial versions?)
- This presumably would use the public relay, and I understand that the
information is ONLY on each participant's PC - so is secure?
- Given that the above is true, why/when would we be better off to move
either to Enterprise Services or to administering our own server? This is
presumably more costly so there must be some benefits, but maybe we don't
need them.
- If (for example) we used public relay, and I was the manager of a
wokrspace, but I was going to leave the board, could I simply give the
Manager role on that workspace to someone else and they take it over?
Thanks so much for any help, it seems like a minefield for the uninitiated!!!
