Press Release Body = Collanos Software releases its free solution making Internet-based teamwork available for everybody. Leading MBA programs are among the first to adopt.
San Francisco - June 19, 2006 - Collanos Software, provider of software solutions and services that enable teamwork beyond organizational boundaries, released today "Collanos Workplace 1.0 Beta", the first commercial and publicly available version of its free flagship application. The software is available to download at http://www.collanos.com. Geared for wide-scale adoption by Internet users worldwide, Collanos Workplace has been designed to meet the requirements of modern mobile and dispersed knowledge workers. While existing collaboration solutions rely upon web-based platforms, Collanos' Peer-to-Peer solution addresses the growing need of users for an online and offline solution that transparently synchronizes information between all team members. Collanos is initially being adopted by MBA programs as their teamwork environment. The company is involved in pilot programs with leading MBA universities across the United States and Europe. Consulting, research and marketing teams are following track, using Collanos to manage their unique teamwork settings. "MBA students typically spend more than 70% of their time working on multiple project teams", said Peter Helfenstein, CEO of Collanos Software. "Not wasting time anymore on congested email inboxes or complex server-based solutions means simply more time for the team to concentrate on quality deliverables." To the question: "Is Collanos a Web 2.0 company?" Franco Dal Molin, Collanos' Founder and President said, "Yes and no. While it has all the key Web 2.0 attributes, we are not just another web-based collaboration solution. The hybrid P2P platform available for Windows, Mac and Linux offers our users the best of both worlds - a matchless solution - Peer-to-Peer 2.0." Collanos' goals are to sign-up 100,000 active users worldwide within the next twelve months and harness the internet to create a solution that truly reflects how 21st century teams work.
