GWAVACon, San Diego, Calif. — January 29, 2008 — Advansys has announced a new version of its best-selling Archive To Go for GroupWise.

The “on-demand” user-driven product provides a reliable and easy way for administrators to export a GroupWise mailbox and personal archives to a searchable portable format which doesn’t require the GroupWise Client. Common uses include making the primary mailbox and GroupWise personal archives portable, backing up inactive accounts and private data removal to reduce storage costs and legal discovery.

Version 1.5 adds even more control over archiving capabilities than the previous version, such as date range and private item filtering, folder selection, custom archive naming improved user interface and enterprise access features.

“Exporting GroupWise data for archiving purposes is a no-brainer with Advansys Archive To Go. It’s the default standalone archiving tool for us,” said Roel van Bueren, CEO of ROVABU Networks and Custom-R-Tools. “Archive To Go is the premiere archiving tool for the GroupWise space.”

These new features make it easy to create and distribute specialized, searchable knowledge bases from a collection of GroupWise messages, such as the GroupWise Resource Archive, which comprises many years worth of searchable NGWList digest messages (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/16569.html).

“What makes Archive To Go 1.5 different from our competition is that instead of another full-time archiving product, it offers a high-quality on-demand publishing/archiving solution,” said Gregory Bell, CEO, Advansys. “Administrators often use the enterprise mode but it can also be rolled out to users for creating their own archives.”

Archive To Go also integrates with key GWAVA products, such as Reload, Reveal, Redline and Vertigo.

Advansys plans on releasing further Archive To Go extensions, which offer the ability to restore Advansys Portable Messages back into GroupWise and conversion to HTML and Microsoft Outlook PST formats. Advansys will deliver the premiere demonstration the Microsoft Outlook PST converter at GWAVACon San Diego.

Riva CRM Integration for GroupWise integrates GroupWise into the heartbeat of a business - its CRM.”

Riva delivers bi-directional synchronization of accounts, contacts, appointments, tasks, notes and phones calls. CRM quotes and opportunity summaries are also available in GroupWise.

Riva extends the value of GroupWise and the CRM investment because the synchronized information is available from all GroupWise clients: Linux, Macintosh, Windows, WebAccess, BlackBerry devices and GroupWise Mobile Server mobile devices. By extending CRM information to all GroupWise clients, employees are “CRM information-connected” all the time. Employees can work in GroupWise or the CRM and don’t have to worry about having to copy and paste information from one to the other. A phone number change in the GroupWise address book is updated in the CRM. A task that gets marked as completed on a BlackBerry gets marked as completed in the CRM.”

“What got us excited about Omni’s CRM Integration for GroupWise is the fact that it’s transparent. All critical CRM information is available to us whether we are working in GroupWise on Linux, Windows, Macintosh, WebAccess or on our BlackBerry and GroupWise Mobile Server devices,” said Brian Ogden from Switchdesk. “Having CRM information available on our mobile devices without having to install any special software on them is a tremendous benefit to our sales and management staff.

Talkster’s iPhone-optimized service is now even easier to use with recent enhancements that let callers place the Talkster service icon on the main screen of their phones.

TORONTO, ONT — JANUARY 24, 2007

Now iPhone users have an even easier way to make free international, long-distance and group conference calls. With just a single click of an icon from the iPhone’s main screen, you can launch the Talkster service and begin making free calls to friends and family around the world. As always, once you’ve created a Talkster number for a friend or group of friends and saved it in your address book, you need only select them directly from your phone book to place the call.

Follow these easy steps to place the Talkster icon on your iPhone’s main screen:

Step One:
Connect your iPhone to iTunes and update the phone’s firmware to version 1.1.3 (or later).

Step Two:
Open the Safari web browser and surf to http://i.talkster.com.

Step Three:
Click on the new “+” symbol at the bottom of the screen. Once you do, you’ll be presented with three options:

• Add Bookmark
• Add to Home Screen
• Mail Link to this Page

Step Four:
Click on “Add to Home Screen.” You’ll be shown the new Talkster iPhone icon and be able to give it a title (such as “Talkster”) to add to your iPhone’s main screen.

The new 1.1.3 firmware also lets you move the icon around the screen to place it in an order you like. You can find instructions on how to rearrange icons and use more of the new features now available for the iPhone by clicking here and here.

Step Five:
You can repeat steps two and three, but this time select “Mail Link to this Page” to share Talkster with your friends!

iPhone conference calls with Talkster
With traditional iPhone conference calling, the process can be tedious, increasing minute usage and frustration. Conference calls also require iPhone users to pay even higher costs for an international and long-distance connection. With Talkster, users can create a group of up to 5 people, generating a local number each participant in the call. This process is one-time only, and with the new Talkster icon for the iPhone, an easy way to keep in touch.

Ads foot the bill for free calls
Calls with Talkster are free because the service is ad-supported, meaning all calls are subsidized by advertising, much like television and radio. In order to access free long-distance, international, and group conference calling, users listen to a 10-second ad and then are free to talk as long as they like with no talk time limits.

Talkster has several sign-up options for users:
