Steve & Martyn:

How these two work together depnds on the type of 'groupware' that you are intending to implement. if you are speaking of something such as Lotus Notes, then the data warehouse is organized as a form of knowledge base that supports the interactions possible with that tool, and others.

Conversely, if your 'groupware' is another interactive, collaborative tool, such as Ventana's Group Systems, or First Choice, then the data warehouse serves as a repository for information that is being acted upon by connected groups that are working specific problems but need data and information from varied sources. I use this type of groupware frequently in my practive in work groups that are reengineering process, or creating new processes, and need to know the activities, costs, data supported, etc. that are necessary to create models of the activity. That data is then stored in the data warehouse and is available for reuse by others facing similar tasks.

Hope this helps
