Where I currently work, I've just installed EPIWare for our developers:

http://www.epiware.com/document_management_gpl_screen.php

It includes document management, time/resource/project management tools (Gantt 
Charting, etc), Calendaring and milstone management, task management, etc.

Being web-based, it is immediately accessible to anyone with an internet 
connection and access to the web, so it's very friendly to remote user, and is 
only dependent on a web browser - no client software is needed on the 
connecting user's machine, which is good for non-standard setups or even 
internet cafes and the like.  Even PDA and smartphone users are catered for.

My preference for groupware tools is always web-based.  While it certainly 
isn't a panacea, it does make dealing with "road warriors" far less of an 
issue, particularly when you can't control what software or hardware they will 
be using.
