XCHANGE NETWORK’S XC CONNECT ENABLES INDEPENDENCE ACROSS DESKTOP APPLICATIONS NOW AVAILABLE IN A HOSTED ENVIRONMENT

April 05, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
ANN ARBOR, MI—Xchange Network announced that their advanced collaboration software,
XC Connect, is now available in a secure hosted environment. With XC Connect, users can seamlessly share calendar, contact, and task management data between and across familiar desktop applications such as Microsoft® Outlook®, Microsoft Entourage®, iCAL, Mac Address Book, and Novell® Evolution—whether running on Windows, OSX, or Linux operating systems.

“There is no software vendor today that can deliver a solution that supports the collaboration of calendars, contacts and task items across multiple applications and platforms, and there is certainly
no other vendor that also offers such revolutionary technology in a hosted environment,” stated
Stan Gregg, Xchange Network’s Chief Technology Officer.

The newly released web-hosted solution, XC Small/Home Office, provides the same XC Connect multi-platform collaboration capabilities, enabling businesses with multiple scheduling and task management applications to seamlessly share information. Offered within a secure hosted environment, XC Small/Home Office provides ultimate convenience to users who require 24/7 accessibility to information not possible with traditional desktop installations.

“More businesses are starting to realize the benefits of hosted software solutions and the necessity
of 24/7 accessibility,” said Gregg. “Offering XC Small/Home Office in a virtual environment meets the collaboration needs of our most progressive clients by enabling access to shared data, while
also relieving them of the challenges associated with maintaining their own server and a static
IP connection.”

XC Small/Home Office users may migrate at any time to the XC Connect non-hosted solution as their needs change. Now in their third market year, Xchange Network offers one of the industry’s leading collaboration solutions. Xchange Network applications are so compact and simple to install that they can be quickly downloaded for evaluation or purchased directly from the website at www.xcnetwork.com.
