Sharing Between Coworkers.

Busy day for me here, eh?

Well, I don't know how many of you are in "the biz" and work with companies that have many clients and share files between each other, but you probably don't even need to be to help me out.

What I'm looking for is like a script that allows my coworkers and I have a calendar that we can post appointments to, a place to upload files, and a way to track progress on our clients. Most of my coworkers are only in store 1-2 days a week, because they can work at home.

However, I need a way to check their progress and a way for them to report to me and my boss.

Even if someone can give me a better phrase to search on Google, that would be appreciated.

Why don't we build one ourselves? We're overbooked at the moment and expanding, with many projects on the queue. It's been hard enough to even work on our relaunch!

Microsoft Outlook has a project manager feature. I'm sure this works from home as well.

If you use Exchange I'm sure you can share calendars, tasks etc.

But, besides that, could Google Calendar work for this? Not sure.

Outlook would work, but I'm the only PC here =P

Mobile.me seems like a good option too.

Basecamp seems really good. Thank you for posting it.

Seconding Basecamp. It's designed to do exactly what you want.

We're now using Backpackit. By the same company as Basecamp, but more of what we need.

Thanks for all the help guys.
