Latest release of award-winning messaging and collaboration solution introduces real-time presence status, integrated chat and more.

San Jose, Calif, July 12, 2016 – Today Kerio Technologies released Kerio Connect 9.1, strengthening its messaging and collaboration solution for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) with new presence status, chat features and more.

“In this release we’re making it even easier for SMBs to communicate," said Heather Paunet, VP Products of Kerio Technologies. “New presence status and integrated chat enables users to easily check the availability of their contacts and gives them the option to respond to a communication quickly, in real-time if they're 'Online', but if their status is set to 'Do Not Disturb', they can send an email.”

The latest release also adds many user productivity features including remembering selected messages when sorting, searching or switching folder, time stamp (as well as date stamp) in email list and many user experience improvements.

"We are always looking for ways to make business communication smarter," said Mirek Kren, CEO of Kerio Technologies. "By helping users process their communications efficiently, spending less time managing their inbox, we are helping SMBs work more productively."

Kerio Connect 9.1 also includes more domain based configuration capabilities, making it easier to configure various settings individually for different domains. Each domain can be allocated a separate email address for archiving and each domain can have a separate storage quota, with notifications being sent when the quota limit is almost reached.

With deployment options for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and VMware, Kerio Connect 9.1 is ready to run in virtually any cloud or on-premises environment. Cloud-hosted Kerio Connect is available from Kerio partners worldwide. On-premises Kerio Connect starts at $465 for five users. For more information, please visit www.kerio.com/connect.
