"Groove Virtual Office uniquely addresses the increasingly virtual, distributed nature of work," said Groove Networks CEO Ray Ozzie. "Two straight years of recognition from InfoWorld, and the positive feedback we receive from customers every day indicate that we're addressing a real need among teams that are geographically distributed, have representatives from multiple organizations and most often can't find a single time to get everyone on the same page. We'll continue to listen to these customers and address what looks to be a fundamental change in the way teams are working to meet their objectives."
