HotOffice 3.0 Debuts, Enhances Free Intranet Service

Application service provider HotOffice Technologies Monday
released the latest version of its intranet service —
HotOffice Version 3.0.

The new tool offers cutting-edge features, including “Webized” document
publishing, Web-based “smart” e-mail, and synchronization which enables
users to coordinate information, such as contacts, e-mail and calendar
between HotOffice and offline applications.

Other product enhancements include additions to the HotOffice business
center, which provides third-party products and services often at reduced
cost to HotOffice users; administration enhancements that make it even
easier to create departments and projects in HotOffice and updated product
guides and tours.

“With HotOffice, our small-business customers can count on continuing
upgrades and new features that give them big-business access to the full
power of a corporate intranet,” said R. Michael Franz, chairman and CEO of
HotOffice.

“With Version 3.0’s enhanced features, combined with our new option to
offer customers the choice between free or subscription service, HotOffice
continues its dedication to small businesses, offering the most
comprehensive suite of collaboration
and communication tools.”

Version 3.0 includes:

  • Webized Publishing, designed to enable users to publish and edit documents
    and files from any computer

  • Synchronization, offering customers the ability to synchronize
    their HotOffice contact manager with Outlook and Palm Pilot

  • Enhanced Web-based “Smart” E-mail for users to search and
    sort messages, personalize the screen layout, view HTML pages,
    hyperlink text, and simultaneously send and receive from multiple
    e-mail accounts

The release of Version 3.0 comes on the heels of HotOffice’s recent
announcement that, beginning in December, its subscription-based, intranet
solution will also be available in a free version.
