MONTREAL, QUEBEC — August 13, 2008 — GWAVA, Novell’s largest technology partner for GroupWise, along with Netcleanse Technologies and Vircom today announced a wide ranging strategic business and technical partnership to build and market solutions that work well with each other.

From a GWAVA perspective, this partnership will deliver enhanced security, archiving and collaboration functionality for the GroupWise community, particularly important with the forthcoming October release of Novell GroupWise 8.0, also known as “Bonsai.” This newest version of GroupWise will provide users with improvements across five areas: Windows client, Linux/Mac, WebAccess client, administration and agent enhancements.

“The partnership will deliver products that strengthen the new version of GroupWise, and allow GWAVA, Netcleanse and Vircom to collaborate in order to explore more joint opportunities," said Charles Taite, CEO and co-founder of GWAVA. "Our teaming with Netcleanse and Vircom enhances GWAVA's leadership in the GroupWise community as well."

“Expanding our existing partnership with GWAVA to include Vircom makes perfect sense for Netcleanse,” said Mitch Lauer, managing director of Netcleanse, Inc. “We expect to derive great dividends from the addition of a strong technology partner like Vircom.”

“Partnering with GWAVA and Netcleanse not only benefits our customers with better solutions and more control, it also lets us strengthen our position in the spam control software space,” said Sylvain Durocher, president of Vircom, Inc. “This opportunity allows us to combine our knowledge to offer customers seamless electronic communications through innovative new solutions.”
