Collaboration system is a built-in, private social network or corporate intranet specifically for your business processes. It’s not for sharing cat memes; it’s for sharing tasks, documents, discussions, and announcements directly within the 1C Platform where your core business data (sales, purchases, accounting, manufacturing) already lives.

Its primary purpose is communication between employees, departments, and even external users regarding specific business transactions and tasks.

The Collaboration system is ready to use by default for Cloud AccountingSuite. To use it in your company’s network with On-premise AccountingSuite you need to install it in company’s network.

Download the VM image vm-cs-disk-0.zip and CollaborationSystemRegister.epf from the AccountingSuite Portal with your partners or on-premise subscription.

• Collaboration System Register Processor – use the CollaborationSystemRegister.epf file on the last step in on-premise AccountingSuite
• Collaboration System VM Download Links – open links.txt file and take direct link to download 4Gb VM image vm-cs-disk-0.zip file
