When a team of people works with the same documents, projects, contacts etc., the Team Edition is the package-of-choice: It is the perfect collaboration tool for small and medium teams and enables them to share their data (including documents and emails) in a LAN or over the internet.

The Team Edition is equally well suited for business as for private use.

SOKRATES® Communicator Team Edition is designed to assist you personally in your daily work with communication and various applications, but it equally helps you to collaborate with your team. If you work in one big office, if you are at home, or if your team is spread out all over the world: SOKRATES® Communicator  connects you! Make the choice of the perfect architecture for you and your team:

		Hosted Subscription (periodical fees): Only the client is installed locally, the application server and the database are run in the centralized data center of a provider. All you have to do is to install a client software which typically lasts less then three minutes, and to start!		In-House Data Center (one-time license or periodical fees): The clients are started locally, but the application server and the database are run on servers in your own data center having access to local software systems

After installing SOKRATES® Communicator it links your world of communication, applications and collaboration together:

• Contact Management: This fully featured module offers functionality you would only expect from expensive high-end CRM packages. Import contacts from Microsoft® Outlook® or Skype® easily and quickly!
• Project Management: Define the projects you are working on in a hierarchical tree and keep the overview. This in-built project management functionality is not intended to replace full-size project management solutions (which you could connect optionally), but to structure your work and to assign all types of project-oriented information: documents, emails, contacts, phone call protocols etc.
• Emails: The option "Emails for Outlook®" offers a natural interface to Microsoft® Outlook®. With Communicator, you can write emails directly from a selected contact or project using an unlimited number of email templates you can create. Incoming emails are automatically assigned to contacts and projects. Answer or forward emails directly from Communicator, let attachments automatically be zipped and attached, create tasks for emails to be answered and much more... Currently, we support Microsoft® Outlook® , other email clients will follow.
• Phone Calls: Register times and protocols of phone calls made and assign them to contacts and projects for future reference. The option "VoIP for Skype®" integrates Skype into the Communicator's user interface: Call a contact with one mouse-click only, get his record automatically opened when he calls you, schedule calls to do, keep an overview of missed phone calls, schedule emails, documents and other phone calls while having a call, transfer a call to another person (ideal for assistants...) and much more...
• Documents: Opting also for the module "Documents & Applications" the system registers applications you use for your specific documents: Your text processing system, your spreadsheet, your favourite browser, your PDF-viewer etc. Create document templates for your applications and register them within Communicator. From now on, you can set up, open and retrieve documents of any type directly in the contacts or projects defined in Communicator: See all documents assigned to a project and/or contacts, get lists of contact/project-related documents, create lists of weblinks and store them in "knowledge base" projects, ... Documents can be stored on the SOKRATES® Application Server which makes them available worldwide over the internet: Communicator web-enables actually your local applications! 
• Tasks: Schedule tasks for creating documents, writing emails, making phone calls etc. and delegate those tasks to your team members.

If you want to control and administer your and your team's contacts, projects, tasks, documents and communication, SOKRATES® Communicator Team Edition is the right package for you!
If you want to add more users to the system, need a more complex access right system or need a tight integration with your existing business applications (ERP, PSA...), you can easily upgrade to the BUSINESS edition later.
