Colligo Networks Product Selected by Windows IT Pro and
SQL Server Magazines
Vancouver, BC, June 18, 2008 – Colligo Networks Inc., a leader in desktop collaboration solutions, today announced that its Colligo Contributor Pro Version 3.0 desktop software for Microsoft® Office SharePoint® was named as a winner of the “Best of Tech•Ed 2008 IT Professional Awards” in the Productivity and Collaboration category by Penton Media’s Windows IT Pro® and SQL Server Magazine®.
The
Best of Tech•Ed 2008 Awards recognize companies who offer innovative
products for the industry. The judges reviewed more than 223 products and
services submitted for the contest and chose 29 finalists to be interviewed at
the Tech•Ed 2008 IT Pro Conference in Orlando, Fla. Winners were announced on
June 12 at an evening reception and are also posted on
www.WindowsITPro.com/awards.
“Choosing from such a wide variety of outstanding entries is a challenge every
year, and the quality of this year’s entries was particularly high,” said Karen
Forster, group editorial and strategy director for Windows IT Pro and SQL Server
Magazine. “The winners clearly reflect our judging criteria: innovation,
strategic importance to the market, competitive advantage, and exceptional value
to customers.”
“Winning the Best of Tech•Ed award for the category of productivity and
collaboration is particularly rewarding for Colligo Networks, because it
recognizes the end user benefits of our desktop software for SharePoint,”
commented Genèse Castonguay, Vice President of Marketing, Colligo Networks.
“Outlook integration improves SharePoint access and allows for email
drag-and-drop to document libraries, while the rich client provides immediate
access for mobile and remote workers. By deploying Contributor Pro,
organizations are able to increase adoption of SharePoint among information
workers by integrating it into how they already work on their desktops. It helps
customers increase the return on their SharePoint investment.”
Colligo Contributor Pro Version 3.0 is client software that increases
SharePoint user adoption by providing an intuitive user experience that better
integrates SharePoint into the way users work on their desktops. It enables
information workers to easily access, modify, and create SharePoint content
through familiar desktop interfaces. Contributor Pro includes two user interface
options: (1) the standalone desktop client provides instant SharePoint access,
online and offline, for mobile and remote workers; and (2) the Add-In for
Microsoft Office Outlook® provides
2-way access to SharePoint within Outlook, enabling users to easily
drag-and-drop emails (including metadata and attachments) into document
libraries.
