    Peter,
    You are light on defining needs. Based on what you listed install the
    first one you find it will provide basic file management and group
    calendaring.
    As an off-the-top-of-my head list of follow-up question: In the file
    manager are you looking for content-based search, categories, flexible
    ACL, drag&drop, retention cycles & version management? On Scheduling are
    you looking for common/shared/delegated calendars, integration with PDA,
    synchronization with off-line calendar, public calendars,
    alerts/reminders, invitations, alternative times, attachments to
    calendar? How many clients, do they have a simple group structure or
    overlapping groups? Do you need integration between modules? Do you need
    off-line use?

    Best regards Dave
