Safari Now Works With Solve360
By Norada Corporation
PALO ALTO, CA (MARKET WIRE) Norada Corporation, the provider of the Solve360 communicating and collaborating Web solution for small business, announced today that the service is now available to Macintosh users using the Apple-native Safari browser.
"Following the release of Safari 2.0 for OS 10.4 and 1.3 for OS 10.3, we set to work optimizing the service so that all the features - email, team scheduling, contact management and CRM tools, personal and group file sharing - work as seamlessly in the Mac environment as in the Windows world," says Norada CEO Steve Ireland.
"Whether a small business is Mac-based or uses a mix of Macs and PCs, with Solve360 users can get a full suite of proven Web-based productivity-enhancing services today, with none of the IT headaches associated with desktop or server-based solutions," adds Ireland. "While products such as Microsoft Office Live are still in beta, Solve360 is being used all day, every day, by thousands of small business customers around the world. And now Mac users can reap all the productivity and cost benefits of the Software as a Service (SaaS) revolution."
"As a startup with a mix of Macs and PCs in the office, Solve360 meets all of our collaboration, file sharing and online archiving needs," says Ryan Keating, VP Finance of WisdomArk, a VC-funded internet startup based in Mountain View, California. "We're 12 people today, with plans to grow aggressively in the future. Getting everyone in the office on the same Web service lets us focus on building our business instead of building an IT department."
Ireland added that new Solve360 features due for release in the next quarter - integrated invoicing tools and enhanced, archivable instant messaging - have been built in response to customer requests to continue extending the platform. "On the invoicing and accounting fronts, Mac shops are effectively shut out of using products such as Intuit's QuickBooks Online or Sage's Act for Web because they don't support the Apple OS, much less Safari specifically," says Ireland. "We're keenly aware of the needs of our small business customers. With more than 30 percent of our customers having Macs in the office, we know that everything we're doing has to be designed to work with OS X and Safari."

Norada Takes Archiving Lead
By Norada Corporation
One of the pressing technology issues facing professionals today is email and messaging compliance. Unfortunately, most of the systems and services available are complex and expensive. Some businesses operate under the misconception that by simply backing up or saving messages they're doing enough. Unfortunately, traditional data backup processes or manually archiving don't meet email archiving policy requirements. Norada has made available a concise new micro-website at www.archivingemail.com that helps businesses better understand the issues surrounding email archiving compliance.
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2006 -- One of the pressing technology issues facing professionals today is email and messaging compliance. Unfortunately, most of the systems and services available are complex and expensive. Some businesses operate under the misconception that by simply backing up or saving messages they're doing enough. Unfortunately, traditional data backup processes or manually archiving don't meet email archiving policy requirements. Norada has made available a concise new micro-website at www.archivingemail.com that helps businesses better understand the issues surrounding email archiving compliance.
NASD, SEC, NYSE, and many industry regulators now mandate that all incoming and outgoing email be archived and monitored. In addition, firms that do business with these companies may be obligated to follow the same policies. Email archiving solutions provide control, data storage, retention, and retrieval efficiencies companies need to keep up with the growing role of email within their organizations.
Since the size of an organization is not a factor in determining whether companies must adhere to the law and / or industry regulations, there is growing concern in small and medium businesses on how to meet the email archiving requirements.
"Some businesses operate under the misconception that by simply backing up or saving email they're doing enough," says Steve Ireland, President of Norada Corporation. "Unfortunately, traditional data backup processes or manually archiving don't even come close to meeting the new email archiving policy requirements."
Norada Corporation's email archiving service makes email archive management simple, and the service fits the needs and budgets of even the smallest firms. To help "get the word out Norada has created a specific website at www.archivingemail.com to draw attention to some of the issues and its inexpensive solution.
About Norada's Service
Norada's email archive service is a simple, inexpensive, and reliable way to alleviate concerns posed by SEC & NASD rules, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, SOA, FSA, IDA, Investment Advisors Act, Legal Discovery and other regulations and guidelines regarding electronic communication retention.
With Norada's email archiving service all incoming and outgoing email messages are permanently preserved on a non-erasable and non-rewritable professional grade CD-R or DVD-R media. This ensures that information is correctly captured and stored in order to minimize any uncertainty over its integrity and existence so far as is possible.
- The service requires no configuration or installation, making service activation fully transparent to end users
- Ongoing archiving is fully automatic, requiring no involvement from end users
- A copy of all incoming and outgoing email transmissions is captured, making it equivalent to a "flight-data recorder" for email, thereby enabling an orgaization to meet demands imposed by a regulatory audit or court action
- The customer can access indexes and message archives and copy them to another application or storage medium as required
- Archived messages can be accessed directly by authorized end-users, such as compliance officers or corporate counsel, which significantly reduces discovery cost and workload for staff
By having Norada manage the archive process, customers also benefit from a standardized, arms-length process which serves as high evidential weight in court.
