The latest beta version of Kerio Connect 7.2 is now available for public testing. Beta 5 will run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and has progressed significantly with the long-awaited Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac support.

Before we begin...

One thing is very clear to me - we have seriously underestimated the engineering effort needed to make Outlook 2011 work with Kerio Connect. You gave us a lot of grief for that, and rightly so. On behalf of Kerio, I am very sorry for the frustration we have caused to you, our loyal customers and our dedicated partners.

With the launch of our new VoIP server software and appliance, we anticipate that some of our partners, customers, and competitors may be scratching their heads asking, "Why? Why enter an unfamiliar and increasingly competitive market at a time when IT spending growth is just recovering and still uncertain?"

Huff Technologies is a new addition to the Kerio partner community. Watch the video below to see what happened when they deployed Kerio Connect as an Exchange replacement into a "less-than-optimal" environment.

Email is the undisputed office workhorse. I have yet to talk to someone who would credibly argue that email is dead. Email is great for sending status information to co-workers but not so great for developing and sharing ideas and documents. Over the many years that we've been in the messaging industry, we have seen teams of all sizes struggle with keeping their documents and knowledge resources readily available to their colleagues. Some of our customers have used Kerio Connect's public folders to store documents that need to be shared.

One of the difficulties with managing public calendars is the different levels of access control. It seems that the person who needs to add an event to a public calendar is never the person who has editor access to that calendar. As a result, users have to track down the administrator to manage editor rights on a case-by-case basis. The administrator may end up taking the simple approach of making everyone an editor to the calendar. But this approach can result in users editing events that are not their own as well as increasing the chance of synchronization inconsistencies.
