[Kolab-devel] Bynari Connector receives the first "Certified for Kolab" mark by Kolab Systems

[Paul James Adams]

Kolab Systems and Bynari are glad to announce the successful certification of 
the Bynari Connector for the Kolab Groupware Solution.

This is the first product certification granted under the "Certified for Kolab" 
programme by Kolab Systems which allows third party vendors to obtain 
certification for Kolab technology that is based on meaningful test plans and 
scenarios.

"We're very happy to have received this certification," says Doug Finch, VP for 
IT at Bynari. "The Kolab Technology which also underpins our Connector as well 
as many of our new products is uniquely powerful and adaptable. Successfully 
completing the Kolab Systems certification assures our customers of getting our 
proven Outlook Connector with the certification of a qualified but neutral 3rd 
party. Bynari’s Outlook Connector is also the only one to have successfully 
undergone such a rigorous certification process."

Dr. Paul Adams, COO of Kolab Systems comments: "It is a great pleasure to 
provide Bynari with this deserved certification. Our staff spent numerous days 
on running the Bynari Connector through a test plan based on real-life 
scenarios. They did this on no less than six different combinations of commonly 
used versions of Microsoft Windows and Outlook. Our findings have been 
published and with pleasure we certify that we found the Bynari Connector to 
address all areas it targets."

"Naturally this kind of certification is available to all vendors incorporating 
Kolab Technologies into their products, and Kolab Systems will be happy to 
work with all parties to ensure the maximum consistency and quality in the 
Kolab Enterprise Community," concludes Georg Greve, CEO of Kolab Systems.
