Vancouver, BC, November 30, 2006 – Colligo Networks Inc., provider of offline collaboration solutions for mobile professionals, today announces that it plans to release Version 2.0 of the Colligo for SharePoint® product family, to support 2007 Microsoft® Office system and Windows Vista™, in February 2007. Version 2.0 will enable users of Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 (MOSS 2007) and Windows SharePoint® Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0) to easily synchronize online content, including document libraries, lists, metadata, and views, to their laptops for viewing and editing when working offline. Further details on the features in the new versions of Colligo ContributorTM for SharePoint® and the free Colligo ReaderTM for SharePoint® will be made available when the product line is released.
“Taking my SharePoint data offline – all of it – has been a long-standing requirement for my organization and many of our corporate customers,” said Dustin Miller, President of SharePoint Experts and Microsoft MVP for Windows SharePoint Services. An early adopter of Colligo Contributor for SharePoint, Dustin Miller most recently tested Beta Version 2.0. “When I’m traveling or at a client location and need to look up an entry in one of our custom lists, or fill out an InfoPath form stored on our SharePoint intranet, Colligo Contributor solves the offline problem for me. Other companies looking to increase user productivity both online and offline owe it to themselves to check out Colligo Contributor 2.0. The new version will definitely be a permanent part of my toolbox.”
“As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we continue to work closely with Microsoft to extend user access to SharePoint in disconnected settings,” said Barry Jinks, President and CEO of Colligo Networks. “Our customers have come to trust us for offline SharePoint solutions that enable business professionals to easily access and edit critical information anywhere, anytime from their laptops. With Version 2.0 of the Colligo for SharePoint product family, organizations will derive even greater benefits from its simple deployment, ease of use, and rich support for the 2007 Microsoft Office System.”
“We are thrilled with the tremendous support and excitement we are seeing from our partners around the world in support of the business availability launch of the 2007 Office system, Exchange Server 2007 and Windows Vista,” said Rob Bernard, General Manager, Worldwide ISV Group, Microsoft. “Our partners play a vital role in the early adoption, development, and delivery of Microsoft technologies. By working closely with partners like Colligo Networks we are helping to provide our mutual customers with a high quality product, seamless technology integration, and improved user experiences.”
