NewsGator Enters the Enterprise Software Market with
NewsGator Enterprise Server and Brings RSS behind the Firewall
NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS platform company, announced today the launch of NewsGator Enterprise Server (NGES). Available in Q3, NewsGator Enterprise Server is a revolutionary new product for aggregating and reading RSS content within the enterprise. It brings the power of NewsGator's existing RSS engine, services and capabilities behind the firewall, providing enterprise class security, manageability and deployment. In addition, NGES optionally integrates with Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory, which eases deployment for enterprise IT departments and provides a user interface that employees are comfortable with.
Key end-user benefits of NewsGator Enterprise Server include:
-- Information workers can easily subscribe to secured internal RSS feeds from business systems or other sources as well as all available external RSS content.
-- Synchronization across multiple interfaces (Desktop, Mobile, Internet, etc.).
-- The ability to personalize feeds for workgroup collaboration, opportunity tracking, business and competitive intelligence, and project management.
-- The ability to create personalized RSS feeds by monitoring keywords and URLs for both internal and external communication.
-- Full support for folders and sub folders for organizing RSS feeds.
"We've seen enterprise adoption of RSS increase dramatically over the last year, for both internal and external content," said Greg Reinacker, founder and CTO of NewsGator. "However, security and manageability concerns have limited its widespread adoption in many companies. We're very excited to introduce NewsGator Enterprise Server, for businesses that want to enable efficient content distribution behind their firewall. And with the optional integration with Microsoft Exchange Server and Active Directory, there is essentially no end-user training required and no per-desktop deployment required for the IT department."
Key technical features of NewsGator Enterprise Server include:
-- Optional integration with Microsoft Exchange, enabling users to read RSS feeds in Outlook, Outlook Web Access, Pocket Outlook, Entourage and other Exchange-integrated applications without installing any desktop client software.
-- Optional integration with MS Active Directory allows for single sign-on and group administration and management.
-- Based on the same engine that powers the award-winning NewsGator Online Services, already proven to be highly scalable.
-- Consolidates and reduces bandwidth consumption by periodically scanning each feed only once, regardless of how many users are subscribed.
-- Centralized deployment and management that requires no client software installation or plug-ins.
-- Designed to be installed in hours, rather than days.
"The enterprise is the next frontier for RSS, as millions of information workers globally seek easier means to find and track the most relevant internal and external data," said J.B. Holston, president and CEO of NewsGator. "NewsGator allows these employees to track important internal and external competitive, brand and company information in a concise, organized manner, using the tools they are familiar with. NewsGator Enterprise Server is the next critical corporate solution to manage information workers' RSS needs most effectively and efficiently."
