NEW YORK, NY and GOUDA, THE NETHERLANDS -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 13, 2007 -- Xandros, Inc., the
leading provider of easy-to-use Linux desktop, server and management
solutions, and O3Spaces, B.V., provider of O3Spaces Workplace collaboration
for OpenOffice.org, StarOffice and MS Office, today announced an agreement
to provide OpenDocument and MS Office document collaboration, management
and retention services for the forthcoming release of Xandros Server 2.0 -
Standard Edition. O3Spaces Workplace provides any office user with a
professional out-of-the-box extension for team and project collaboration,
and meets the growing demands from governments and companies for an
affordable, platform independent and integrated collaboration alternative
to the Microsoft Office SharePoint server. Xandros will give a sneak
preview of the new Xandros Server with O3Spaces OpenDocument and MS Office
document collaboration in the Xandros stand at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany,
March 15-21, 2007.
"The Xandros Server managed community with its workflow automation and
graphical interface has opened up Linux server administration to broad new
classes of mid-level enterprise departments and SMBs," said Dr. Rob
Mentink, O3Spaces CEO. "We were especially impressed by how easy it was to
integrate O3Spaces into the Xandros Server's community of managed services,
making it easily accessible to server administrators with little or no
Linux server experience. Together we provide enterprise class tools for
collaborative projects while minimizing IT overhead."
"O3Spaces is leading the way to a future of OpenDocument adoption, and we
are proud to be one of the first to market with a server that delivers a
fully-integrated enterprise-grade collaboration solution for users of
OpenOffice.org and other software supporting the approved international
format," said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. "With support for both
Microsoft Office and OpenDocument formats, O3Spaces fills an essential need
for today's mixed network environments looking to transition from
proprietary to open solutions. We were also impressed by how easy it is to
configure and use the O3Spaces facility, making it an especially valuable
addition to the Xandros Server Managed Community."
