| Quelle: Xandros, Inc.
TOKYO and NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 30, 2008) - Scalix, the award-winning Linux
email, calendaring and messaging company, today announced the availability
of group calendaring and scheduling features attuned to the way teams
coordinate their workflow. A new "Overlay Calendar" feature in the Scalix
Web Access (SWA) client makes it easy to organize events and appointments
in multiple user and public calendars. A new "Calendar Planning Mode" view
displays multiple calendars in a single planning sheet to facilitate team
scheduling and resource allocation.
"The Japanese market is of tremendous importance to us, and we are
especially grateful for the input from our Japanese users in helping to
design and test our new group calendaring and scheduling features," said
Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. "When competing in a global environment it
is critical to stay in touch with particular needs in various regions. We
expect that users in other countries will find these to be valuable tools
as well."
"The new scheduling and calendaring features are of particular importance
to the Japanese market, where we pay close attention to the activities of
team members in achieving our business goals," explained Motoharu Kubo,
President of Scalix Japan. "With the latest Scalix release, high level
managers can keep their schedules private while accessing those of other
members of the team. Scalix users can also create, name and save custom
calendar combinations, such as those for sales and engineering teams. In
combination with external iCal support, these new features are especially
flexible and powerful. For example, I can now overlay the Japanese holiday
calendar with the event calendar for my industry to minimize scheduling
conflicts."
