Hi Mohan,

<b>CFolders:</b>

cFolders is the Web-based collaboration platform for the PLM area. The application enables teams that work in product development in cross-enterprise scenarios to communicate and cooperate with each other. cFolders makes it possible for teams to exchange structured information as bills of material, data sheets, or customer-defined structures, for example. This approach improves the consistency of your data when communicating with external partners and suppliers which in turn reduces the duration of the project.

cFolders is integrated in SAP document management (DMS). It is also possible to use cFolders in the SAP Bidding Engine as a container for technical specifications.

<b>Collaboration Projects (cProjects)</b>

In order to cope with the high demands of complex development and consulting projects on an enterprise, planning solutions are required that support progressive project management methods and therefore have a positive influence on project duration and quality. Furthermore, it is important to have tools that are easy to use and implement and that enable project participants to work together.

cProjects covers the whole range of project management activities, from planning and execution to the final stages of the project.

cProjects integrates cFolders for exchanging documents with external partners
