Business Wire
Unify Corp. (NASDAQ:UNFY), a global provider of application
development, data management, migration and content archiving
software, today announced that it has signed a strategic global
reseller agreement with GROUP Business Software AG (Frankfurt:INW),
the world’s largest provider of business solutions built for IBM’s
Lotus software.
Under the terms of the agreement, GROUP will resell Unify’s
market leading content archiving and e-discovery solutions for
Lotus Notes to its more than 2,500 global customers as well as into
the Lotus Notes market worldwide. Unify’s AXS-Link for Lotus Notes
software (which it recently acquired from AXS-One), is considered
the premier and dominant enterprise-class archiving solution for
the IBM Lotus Notes and Domino community. As a result of this
agreement, GROUP will significantly expand its current offering and
geographic reach with the addition of an e-mail archiving,
retention management and legal discovery solution that is
integrated with its e-mail management offerings.
In addition, Unify will resell GROUP’s extensive e-mail
management portfolio (iQ Suite), expanding its e-mail archiving
offering to address a broader set of requirements for messaging
collaboration, including anti spam, anti virus, process management,
and encryption. With more than six million users, GROUP’s iQ Suite
is the industry standard for e-mail lifecycle management for IBM
Lotus Notes/Domino.
“The addition of Unify’s world-class Lotus Notes archiving
solution into our portfolio further enables us to extend our
current Lotus software application expansion strategy, ensuring we
can deliver compelling, robust efficient solutions to our
customers,” said J�rg Ott, GROUP’s CEO and chairman. “The
management and archiving of Lotus Notes e-mail is a growing burden
for our customers and, until now, a largely untapped opportunity
for GROUP. Today’s announcement is synergistic with every aspect of
our corporate and product strategy given Unify’s market leading
Lotus Notes e-mail archiving and e-discovery software, and GROUP’s
domain expertise and focus on messaging and collaboration.”
“GROUP’s established customer base and recognition in the Lotus
Notes community, as well as its focus on messaging and
collaboration, offer Unify a unique opportunity to significantly
expand our market presence and sales delivery capabilities,” said
Todd Wille, CEO of Unify. “We identified GROUP as the key strategic
partnership we needed to expand our global presence and deliver
even more value for the IBM Lotus and Domino community. Today’s
announcement is a major achievement in our strategy to leverage our
recent AXS-One acquisition and increase shareholder value.”
