Groupware can be defined as tools that enable people to work together through communication, collaboration and coordination. Lotus Notes is such a groupware system. Through email, messaging, shared databases, workflow applications and computer conferencing Lotus Notes enables groups to communicate, to collaborate and to coordinate their work.

Research has shown that many organisations invest in Lotus Notes for the purpose of implementing collaborative working. Often such organisations do not follow through and Lotus Notes remains in use only as a tool for email messaging.
