Group-Office Groupware and CRM on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Group-Office is a mature open source groupware and collaboration suite used by businesses, agencies and public sector teams to run their shared email, calendars, contacts, documents and projects on infrastructure they control. It brings together webmail with shared and personal address books, a group calendar with resource booking and free or busy scheduling, a versioned file store, task and note management, a project and time tracking module, and a built in CRM for companies, contacts and support tickets, all behind one sign in with fine grained per group permissions.

Calendars and contacts synchronise to phones, tablets and desktop clients over CalDAV and CardDAV, and email is handled by connecting Group-Office to the IMAP and SMTP servers you already run, so your existing mail stays where it is while the rest of the suite ties it together. Group-Office can authenticate against its bundled database or against your existing IMAP server, LDAP or Active Directory.

It suits any organisation that wants the everyday tools of a hosted office and CRM suite, without handing its email, calendars, contacts and documents to a third party, and without per seat licensing.
