Claranet and Kinomi join forces to provide added value e-mail services to business customers.
Published: 25-10-2006
Kinomi's leading, intelligent e-mail information management systems now available to all Claranet business customers. Two customers signed already - SOCITM and Hoegh Capital Partners.
Claranet and Kinomi have signed an agreement through which Claranet will offer Kinomi's unique e-mail management facilities to its customers, combining the complementary skills of two industry leaders to provide greater value to the UK market. The new services will include MailSpaces™ for enhanced group collaboration and MailFlare™ to meet the growing demands of compliance in e-mail management.
The relationship begins with successful implementations of MailFlare and MailSpaces services, hosted by Claranet, for specialist financial advisors, Hoegh Capital Partners and professional association, SOCITM. These hosted services will enable the customers to understand and manage the information stored in their e-mail systems more effectively, give real time access to business intelligence held in their e-mail archives and create secure e-mail stores for compliance purposes.
Humair Naqvi, xx at Claranet, comments, "We have established ourselves as a leading IT Services Provider for the business market because we have constantly augmented our product and service offerings and developed relationships with companies that complement and therefore add value to our own services. The Kinomi products are an excellent fit for us and we expect to uncover many business opportunities in partnership."
Nigel Cannings, managing director of Kinomi, comments, "MailSpaces and MailFlare add real value to a hosted e-mail service and they address some major issues in the business world today. Not least of these is the headache of compliance and e-mail monitoring which are handled with ease using MailFlare. Managing the sheer volume of e-mail that flows through organisations today is a challenge which we welcome and address and we help people to work more effectively and comfortably as part of a group. Collaboration is simple, efficient and productive with MailSpaces. We look forward to working closely with Claranet on a whole host of enterprise projects."
Kinomi MailFlare
Kinomi MailFlare is part of the next generation of enterprise e-mail information management systems and enables organisations to understand and manage the information in their e-mail systems. Giving real-time access to business intelligence, MailFlare enables all the messages from a Microsoft Exchange server to be securely stored for compliance purposes. Compliance managers can search and explore the entire e-mail archive using MailFlare's web interface, while individual users can search and explore past messages that they themselves have sent or received.
Kinomi MailSpaces
Based around groups, MailSpaces can be deployed internally, supporting project teams or communities of practice, or used externally, supporting supplier or customer communities. Users send messages into a group at its own e-mail address. Kinomi Dynamic Discovery's natural language technology then identifies the structured elements that exist within the message, such as names, dates or important topics to be tracked. These elements are indexed and used to make connections to other related information in the system - telling you what to search for before you even know you need to. As new topics of conversation emerge they will be automatically suggested for future tracking. Like an e-mail distribution list, the message can then optionally be sent on to members of the group, enhanced with links to related information in MailSpaces.
Platform and integration
Kinomi products operate out-of-the-box, minimising deployment time, but connect easily to existing enterprise infrastructure. However, the use of open standards and a component architecture allows developers to extend them when they need and to interface with external systems and existing infrastructure.
Built for the Java Enterprise Edition platform, Kinomi supports the Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases on Windows Server 2003 and Linux servers.
