and collaboration messaging suite

PRESS RELEASE: Gordano Announces New Version of the Gordano Messaging Suite

Introduces Scheduling to the WebMail interface and extends Web 2.0 functionality via Gizmos

(July 22, 2008): Gordano Ltd. an international developer of comprehensive enterprise-class messaging products delivering scalability and reliability - announces today a new release of the Gordano Messaging Suite (GMS). GMS is a multi-platform messaging system providing an easy-to-use, scalable alternative to Microsoft Exchange that runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris and AIX.

The new release of GMS, introduces enhanced Scheduling features to the Webmail interface, including both local and external free/busy look ups. The scheduling in WebMail is totally compatible with Outlook, and single events can be scheduled using both clients interchangeably. Users can now seamlessly work in either Outlook or GMS and any changes made regarding scheduling and Calendaring will automatically be updated in both. Users no longer have to worry about missing a meeting that was scheduled in either of these applications, as they are both updated immediately.

Gordano's mashup technology, known as Gizmos, that gives users the ability to quickly and efficiently interface with external data sources has been further extended. New actions available with Gizmos in this version include:

• automatically opening a WebMail compose window when a mailto link is clicked on in a web page,
• translation of an email into user's choice of language, determined automatically by the language that has been set in the WebMail client
• the extensibility of the WebMail interface is demonstrated with the ability to delete, reply to and navigate up or down a list of messages or contacts by using mouse gestures.

Aligning Gizmos with Greasemonkey code gives instant access to over 18,000 user written scripts that can be easily adapted to work with GMS. Gordano's decision to use this technology has been supported by Google recently selecting the same technology to extend its Gmail service. Gordano has made its Gizmos completely open allowing them to be implemented by anyone, rather than restricting access to their own development teams as Google has chosen to do.

"Gizmo's are extremely useful and allow us to easily provide features to our customers that are not part of Gordano's main product," said Jamie Easterman, Managing Director of London Web. "We are currently looking at how we can use Gizmo's to integrate with our Asterisk based VoIP services."

This latest release of GMS follows the original public launch of its new AJAX driven WebMail interface, which provides a fully featured, familiar and intuitive interface similar to a high-end desktop client. Shared calendars, tasks and notes are available, with excellent interoperability with Outlook, providing a range of access options to suit all tastes.

"This release of GMS further strengthens its position as the ideal alternative to Microsft Exchange," said John Stanners, Managing Director of Gordano. "Our continued development and innovation of GMS is fueled by the demand of our current customers. It is our mission to streamline their processes, increase their productivity and enable them to work smarter by delivering the best possible email and collaboration offering."

Some of the key features of WebMail include:
• Dynamic AJAX based interface
• Fully customizable/brandable using CSS based themes
• Highly extensible using Gizmos, a javascript mashup framework
• Control Panel to allow quick context switching
• Keyboard shortcuts available throughout
• Drag-and-drop supported throughout

The latest release of GMS is available immediately. For more information, call 1-877-292-1142 or visit www.gordano.com.
