Hi Eric,

I think you're a little too pessimistic. Groupware stuff is quite
mature on linux. I haven't tried this myself, but you may have a look
at Kroupware. It's been around since 2003, and is fully functional.

http://freshmeat.net/projects/kroupware/

"Kroupware is a Microsoft Exchange replacement that was commissioned
by the German government. It features email capability, task planning,
calendar scheduling, contacts management, notes keeping and sharing
resources with your co-workers in the group. On the client side, you
can use the following software packages: KMail, KOrganizer,
KAddressbook, or Kitchensync (for Palm sync)."

I don't understand the part you write about voip:

use plug-ins which has their own shortcomings with regards to stability
and cost of rollout and none of them integrated with the VoIP vendor[1].

[1] VoIP vendor was desktop to switch solution so asterisk is not an
option. They were willing to just pay money and get the job done.

If they are willing to spend some money, they can get the
kolab/kroupware guys to make the voip plugin :) Seriously, what are
you writing here?
