(Zurich/Hanover) CeBIT 2010 in Hanover sees the re-launch of the Kolab Free
Software business into the Kolab Systems AG. Professional service, certified
packaging, quality assurance, and a strong partnership model characterise the
new business built on a proven solution with 5 years of productive use.
Customers and partners have the opportunity to meet Georg Greve, CEO of Kolab
Systems AG, and Dr. Paul Adams, COO of Kolab Systems AG during CeBIT 2010 to
discuss business opportunities.
"The award-winning design of the Kolab Groupware Solution has proven its value
in many deployments with thousands of users who have used it productively
throughout the past five years," states Georg Greve, CEO. "We feel that
nurturing the surrounding business ecosystem is essential if Kolab is to
fully realize its technical potential for all its users. Kolab Systems AG is
the consequence of this and the answer to feedback that we received from
partners, customers and the community alike."
Dr. Paul Adams, COO: "The new business will be focused on a strong partnership
model to provide users with a service chain that combines fast 1st level
support out of a single hand with Kolab Systems AG as a strong 2nd and 3rd
level partner that focuses on testing, QA, packaging and continuous
development and maintenance of the technical basis."
Managed by the founding president of FSFE and a senior Free Software expert
and researcher with strong ties to the KDE community, the new business will
continue to work closely with the Free Software community and ensure the
future of the Kolab Groupware Solution as an independent and secure choice

About Kolab:
The Kolab Groupware Solution has initially been developed by a consortium of
some of Germany's premier Free Software companies in 2002-2004 on principles
of security, privacy and scalability. It follows best design and engineering
principles inherent in Free Software to achieve a highly modular, scalable
and distributed setup. Unlike other groupware solutions, Kolab is built upon
the understanding of different information spheres: The primary Kolab Client,
KDE Kontact, is a smart client that assembles each user's personal
information view. Alternatively, deployments can involve Microsoft Outlook
through one of three connectors, web clients, or mobile clients through one
of several synchronisation paths.
