Feng Office-Collaborative Work Platform

A collaborative work platform is a virtual workspace. It is a tool, sometimes in the form of a website that centralizes all the tools related to the management of a project, knowledge management or the functioning of an organization and makes them available to stakeholders. (Source : Wikipedia) 

The use of a collaborative platform is also considered to be an Eco-TIC (Green TI) action. It makes it possible, among other things to reduce the consumption of data on network and local disks, to control the number of documents and versions in circulation in the organization, to manage the life cycle of the managed elements (in progress, archive, deletion, etc.), to facilitate exchanges between employees, to reduce travel with telework, etc. (Source : Synairgis)

What are the Feng Office Functionalities? 

Here is the list of functions managed in Feng Office :

1. Notes : Feng Office allows users to create notes and whether or not to link them to other Feng Office objects. These notes can be used in the same way as you do with paper notes, i.e. to record an appointment, a reminder, a meeting report, a brainstorming session, etc. 
2. Messaging : Feng Office can act as an email client for all users in your company. Feng Office ensures that you no longer have to forward an item or put collaborators in email copies to share information! Your email elements can be managed like any other Feng Office object, i.e. classified, shared, commented, archived. E-mails in Feng Office also offer several other options such as creating a task directly from an email, creating email rules (add-on module) or sharing your emails with one or more people by giving read and/or write permission. 
3. Contacts : When you select the contacts module you mainly find a contact database. You can easily export and import your contact using vCard and CSV files. 
4. Documents : One of the main features of Feng Office is that not only can you download, upload and share any type of document, but you can also edit online files to a certain level of degree. 
5. Calendar : The Feng Office calendar allows you to track tasks and activities between collaborators. You can also synchronize your Google calendars with Feng Office. 
6. Web links : The link allows you to enter an Internet address in Feng Office. The link acts as a bookmark or favourite. 
7. Reports : Relationships with Feng Office are designed to save you time. The use of reports is as flexible as possible to process the information you need. With Feng Office you can use the general reports (already included in Feng Office) or create one or more custom reports. 
8. Tasks : The task module is the most popular module in Feng Office. This module gives you access to the functions of tasks and steps (milestones). The tasks tell users what to do, how to do it, when to do it and how long to do it. The steps (milestones) indicate to the work teams WHEN a series of tasks are expected to be delivered. However, the steps can also exist without tasks and can only be used as a reference point to indicate important dates or steps. 
9. Time : The time module allows you to perform time entry on your project and operational tasks. 
10. Basic Billing : Feng Office offers basic billing tracking functionality. When enabled, this function will associate an hourly rate with a default user. This function will allow you to record the total costs related to the time intervals made by a user, whether it is a general time or time related to a task. 
11. Workflow : It is one of the most powerful tools of Feng Office, if not the most powerful. Feng Office models are powerful tools for getting new projects off to a strong start. Instead of creating all tasks from scratch, you can easily create all tasks with very few entries and then create workflows in record time.
