Asynchronus groupware is the type of groupware applications in which the user collaborate with each other by accessing the shared collection of objetc any time , from any place. The users do not need to collaborate with each other in real time. Due to this, there has always been a discussion to compare the efficiency of asynchronus and synchronus groupware in terms of different attributes including time consumption, efficiency, quality output and more.
There has been researches conducted and it has been shown that asynchronus groupware is more efficient and saves time, cost and also results in an output that otherwise would not be possible with synchronus groupware strategy.
It has also been said, however, that for some important high-level organizational changes, synchronus groupware needs to be the important part as it brings all the parties on a platform at the same time, and so reduces the chances of future conflicts.
Researchers have also proposed different methodologies to support asynchronus systems.
For further study of the impact of asynchronus groupware and how it can be best used, these papers are a good source.
