Common causes are that it is not clear what system should be used to find a particular piece of information or that its absence on one system incorrectly implies that it is not available elsewhere.

A problem that is harder to correct occurs when a person requires a piece of information but is unsure whether that information even exists at all. 

Project Area the operative collaboration interface for any actor participating to almost one of the CO-ENV projects. It is supported by the collaborative portal server and a common vault. The portal server can easily manage server applications, so users can contemporarily and independently access to the server and enter different areas properly organized. All projects have their own area where similar and customized functionalities are implemented ...
