Enhanced Web Service

Teamware Announces Teamware Office™ 5.3 for Linux Edition 4 (14.11.2001)

Teamware Group, a Fujitsu subsidiary, announces the availability of edition 4 of Teamware Office 5.3 for Linux, a complete set of ready-to-run groupware applications for today's business professionals. In the new edition the main emphasis is on web service enhancements.

Edition 4 is the first Teamware Office for Linux version with the main focus on the browser side. The new look & feel for the web service client templates has been developed according to extensive usability research and customer requests.

"Using the system via the web means faster and more cost-efficient administration and makes the remote use of the groupware easier than ever", says Katriina Maanoja, Marketing Manager for Teamware Office.

Via the renewed web service Teamware Office modules can be easily accessed with standard web browsers. The service enables fixed www addressing for any Teamware Office object over standard HTML templates making integration with other web based systems as well as search engines easy.

The web service does not require a separate web server. The administrator can modify the predefined HTML templates or create new ones. This enables a complete redesign of the user interface if required. When appropriate, the documents, calendars, discussions and messages residing in the Teamware environment can also be made available for non-Teamware users through the Web.

Teamware Office for Linux is an ideal intranet solution for small and medium size organizations who need cost effective and vendor independent support for common industry standards. It includes facilities for electronic mail (Teamware Mail), time and resource scheduling (Teamware Calendar), discussion groups (Teamware Forum) as well as document storage and retrieval (Teamware Library).

The famous Teamware Office groupware suite has been in the market since 1989 and was ported to Linux platform in spring 2000. The product is available with 25 and 100 built-in user accounts with prices of USD 350 and USD 1000. It can be purchased online through the Teamware web site at www.teamware.com/linux.

Also a free 90-day evaluation version can be downloaded at the site. Teamware Office for Linux is available to Linux Mandrake, Red Hat Linux, Turbo Linux and SuSE.
