Ten Accounting Firm Selects Colligo's Productivity Software
for
Company-Wide Deployment
Colligo's
software enables Crowe Chizek's auditors to replicate their
Lotus Notes databases peer-to-peer while working offsite.
While
working offsite, Crowe Chizek auditors can replicate their
Lotus Notes databases in the field without requiring Domino
server access. Previously,
Lotus Notes databases were replicated through a portable
Domino server that auditors would transport to each audit
site. By enabling
the instant peer-to-peer replication of these Notes databases,
the Colligo solution allows the audit team to complete their
assignments more efficiently than in the past, with reduced IT
costs and support headaches.
"Colligo
software allows our audit teams to carry out their work
efficiently and effectively," said Jack Elston, Director
of Audit and Tax Technology for Crowe Chizek.
"Removing the requirement that our auditors prepare,
carry, set up and connect to portable Domino servers is very
advantageous, as our primary commodity is time."
"The
Colligo solution is easy to use, and has greatly reduced the
IT support needs of our field audit teams" said Lamont
Long, Director of Information Technology for Crowe Chizek.
Through
a process of "Discover, Connect and Interact", Colligo
Workgroup Edition uses patent-pending techniques to allow
users to create instant networks without the need for a
server. The
software automatically discovers other Colligo users on the
local network (wired or wireless) and exchanges presence and
awareness information with them.
The Workgroup Edition Lotus Notes Plug-In allows for
the serverless replication of Lotus Notes databases.
This capability is particularly well suited for
situations where obtaining a connection to a central server is
difficult -- situations regularly encountered by audit teams.
To ensure confidentiality, the information exchange is
encrypted using 168 bit SSL security.
"We
were able to fill a need with a unique solution that Crowe
Chizek was unable to find elsewhere," said Marek
Dutkiewicz, General Manager of Colligo Networks.
"We are pleased to have Crowe Chizek join our roster
of auditing firms that have deployed Colligo software to
simplify and improve their work processes."
Availability
Colligo Workgroup Edition is available through the Colligo Web
Store at http://www.colligo.com/store at a list price of
$69.99 US per license. For
pricing information on the optional serverless Lotus Notes
plug-in or for corporate volume discounts, contact Colligo
