A Subject is where people can get work done easily
Subjects are much more than the basic Project concept most other tools propose out there.
Subjects can represent anything you want: a client, a product, a service, a project, a department, a group, a committee, a team, an event.
Anyone in a workspace's team can post messages in a subject without being a member of this subject.
e.g. You can ask a question on your latest pay slip to the people in "HR department" without being a member of HR.
In other words, Subjects behave like email distribution lists that contain people you can address easily.
That's why you can really map your organization with subjects (teams, groups, services, etc) and organize all of your company's daily activities with your team using subjects and Azendoo.
A subject regroups tasks, messages, and files for the people you work with, on this specific topic.
