In cases where users are on-line simultaneously, the mentioned characteristics result in an inefficient use of time and effort. The solution documented in this pattern extends the asynchronous groupware with a mechanism to inform users of on-line presence in other available, synchronous groupware. In this way users are aware of the event when his/her peers are able to collaborate synchronously by means of other (synchronous) tools.
