ITPEC IP April 2023 Question 94
ITPEC IP April 2023 — Question 94 of 100
Groupware is software that supports communication, coordination, and information sharing among members of a group or organization. Common functions include email, chat, shared calendars and files, workflow, bulletin boards, and web or video conferencing. These tools help people collaborate even when they are in different locations.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) Shareware is a licensing and distribution model, often allowing trial use before payment
- (c) Firmware is software embedded in and closely controlling hardware
- (d) Freeware is software distributed for use without a fee, but it does not imply collaboration functions
Key rule: Groupware is defined by collaborative functions; shareware and freeware by distribution terms, and firmware by its relationship to hardware.
