Today
Collanos Software announced the release of Collanos Workplace 1.0
(http://www.collanos.com/m1/en/products/overview) for Windows, Mac OS
X, and Linux. Its p2p collaboration client software addresses the
collaboration and teamwork needs of small teams. Users can create
workspaces, share documents, start discussions, and assign tasks to
team members.
“Workplace 1.0 is our basic software offering which we will always
provide to internet users for free. Collanos Software becomes the first
vendor to provide a free p2p cross-platform collaboration solution that
goes beyond free email and instant messaging solutions. Home users and
companies can now invest their money in activities that further
increase the value of their teamwork,” commented Franco Dal Molin,
President and CTO (http://www.collanos.com/m1/en/about_us/management) .
Collanos unveiled plans to up-sell premium services in later
versions: new software features that will accelerate, secure, and
enhance a customer's collaboration experience. Ultimately, Collanos
Software aims to become a global-networking hub that will assist
Collanos Software's users to connect with others and to start and
manage new projects.
Collanos is able to provide this free benefit to millions of
potential users because it is built on a reliable open source p2p
infrastructure. Juan Carlos Soto, Sun Microsystems (http://www.sun.com)
vice president, Software, said: “We are thrilled to see Collanos'
product applying JXTA p2p technology to automate and synchronize team
collaboration. Teams can now securely share files and other resources
in a trusted, cooperative, and highly available p2p network. Using Java
and JXTA technologies, Collanos has created a platform independent, and
a secure p2p collaboration software that strengthens teams and the
ideas they create.”
During the six-months Beta program, downloads of Collanos Workplace
p2p teamwork software surged steadily, thus generating great
anticipation among users and industry observers.
Collanos Workplace 1.0 for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux is now
available to download at Collanos
