ITPEC IP October 2025 Question 93
ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 93 of 100
Groupware supports communication, collaboration, and information sharing among members of an organization — e-mail, chat, shared documents, schedules, and video meetings are typical functions.
It provides a common digital workspace so teams can coordinate tasks and exchange knowledge across locations and time zones. The name describes its collaborative purpose rather than its price or method of distribution.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) Shareware is software distributed for trial or limited use before payment
- (c) Firmware is low-level software embedded in hardware devices
- (d) Freeware is software offered without a usage fee, though it can remain copyrighted
Key rule: Groupware is classified by collaborative function; shareware and freeware are distribution or payment models, and firmware is embedded device software.
