CommuniGate Systems, which makes carrier-class Internet communications solutions, has added CalDAV support to its iUnified Communications platform. The CalDAV standard lets users share scheduling resources and calendar events to boost collaboration and productivity throughout the enterprise.
As a standards-based solution, the CommuniGate Pro platform works across multiple calendar standards, such as iCal, MAPI, WebCal, and now CalDAV for seamless interoperability of clients and organizational scheduling services, says Jon Doyle, vice president of Business Development for CommuniGate. With the new CalDAV support, Mac users especially can reap huge benefits of shared calendaring and scheduling, without having to rely upon Microsoft client or server products, he adds.
CommuniGate Pro’s calendaring services enables colleagues to share calendaring resources regardless of their chosen operating system and client software—Microsoft Outlook in Exchange mode, Apple iCal, CommuniGate Pro Pronto!, and any other CalDAV client. As a result, Mac users can still communicate with those companies using Microsoft Outlook or other client products.
The CommuniGate Pro platform can provide services for Consumer and Business subscribers through the Messaging Suite, Web 2.0 Suite, VoIP Suite, or deliver custom applications developed in CG/PL. The CommuniGate Pro Web 2.0 Suite includes Pronto! an unified communications client framework based on Adobe Flash and Adobe Flex technology. It’s available and allows free use of the CommuniGate Pro Server for five accounts or less. For installations over five users, the CommuniGate Pro Enterprise Suite is priced starting at US$899 for 25 users.
