Since 2006, we have been successfully using EGroupware in our administration. Initially, our usage started with about 70 employees, but the number of active users has since grown to 240, including 100 functional users. Typically, 100 employees work simultaneously with the system. Our flat-rate contract covers usage seamlessly.
Geographical independence and yet networked working is enormously important for our university, as we are spread over two locations. We need a smoothly functioning and easy-to-use software solution. For these reasons we decided to use EGroupware Enterprise Line (EPL). The competent, friendly team is very easy to reach and delivers fast, uncomplicated solutions when needed.
EGroupware ist mit aktuell 90 Nutzern seit 2009 im Einsatz. Als Basis für alle täglichen Arbeitsabläufe der Stadtverwaltung ist die Software nicht mehr wegzudenken. Die Stadtverwaltung Ochtrup organisiert die öffentlichen Aufgaben für die 20.000-Einwohner-Stadt im westlichen Münsterland. Verwaltet wird außerdem der Baubetriebshof, das Freibad Ochtrup und die Rettungswache. Unsere Entscheidung fiel für EGroupware aus, da.
The decision was made to use the EPL because it is almost identical to our in-house predecessor software, which was no longer up to our requirements. The migration of the data was very easy, which made our work much easier. Upgrades and the hosting of the data is done by the EGroupware team, as the server was outsourced.
After extensive testing of the software from various providers, we decided on the EPL. It offers an enormously good price-performance ratio and is very stable. External employees can be integrated into the system quickly and easily and the software can be perfectly adapted to our special needs.
We use various Unix and Windows systems. Therefore only one calendar came into question, which can be used from a server with any internet browser.
– As a research institution that is financed by public funds, OpenSource Software plays a major role.
While searching for a suitable software solution that can be used under all common operating systems, we became aware of EGroupware in a Linux trade magazine. Here the EPL was presented as the most advanced software in terms of communication with end devices. It runs very well under Linux and is Open Source. By outsourcing the hosting, the already stable software runs even better.
For me the EPL is by far the best groupware suite on the market! It is easy to set up, good to use, infinitely practical and has a good price-performance ratio.
By comparisons with the Microsoft Exchange Server and other solutions like PHProject, Bitrix24 and Horde I came to this conclusion. For this reason, I have enthusiastically recommended the software at least 15-20 times in the last 2-3 years.
Durch Vergleiche mit dem Microsoft-Exchange Server und anderen Lösungen wie bspw. PHProject, Bitrix24 und Horde kam ich zu diesem Resümee. Aus diesem Grund habe ich die Software in den letzten 2-3 Jahren mindestens 15-20 mal begeistert weiterempfohlen.
“Thanks to the extensions I requested and that were implemented by the EGroupware team, I can use the DLB instance very efficiently. We save a huge amount of paperwork and, ultimately, valuable time.”

The decision for the EPL was based on a study published by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, which was a very good decision-making aid.
Due to a complete failure of the previously used software and the 100% data loss, we were forced to look for a new software solution on the market. An important criterion for us in our decision was the stability of the system and a personal contact person
After thorough research and extensive testing, we decided on the EPL. The software is the basis of our complete daily business and covers our needs very well at an excellent price-performance ratio. Due to the outsourced hosting, a professional data backup and a protected internet access are guaranteed
The EGroupware Enterprise Line (EPL), which we have been using since 2005, is used by all employees and in some cases in production. The new option to use Guacamole to access office computers from the home office was very helpful for us.
