Apple Open Collaboration Environment

The Apple Open Collaboration Environment (AOCE) is networking-related technology which provides electronic mail and directory services.

History
The first products from Apple Computer to be based on AOCE technology include PowerTalk system software and PowerShare collaboration servers to provide mail, messaging, catalog services, digital signatures, and authentication services to Macintosh software. PowerTalk debuted as part of System 7.1.1 (System 7 Pro) in October 1993. Support for AOCE was discontinued with the release of Mac OS 8 in July 1997.
