GROUP Technologies Enters into Strategic
Partnership with RPost
Karlsruhe, January 19, 2006 – GROUP Technologies,
provider of E-mail Lifecycle Management (ELM)
software, today announced its entry into a strategic
partnership with the software firm RPost. Under the
new partnership, e-mail delivery confirmation
functionality provided by RPost’s Registered E-mail®
technology will be integrated into GROUP’s iQ.Suite
for Lotus Domino. The integration, which will result
in a comprehensive ELM solution that provides e-mail
with legal evidential value and enforceability, will
be jointly sold throughout Europe.
When e-mail is used for business purposes, legal
controversy over the delivery and content of e-mail
can sometimes arise. The business risks associated
with this ever-present legal liability can be
significantly minimized by the ability to provide
bullet-proof, legally-valid evidence of what has
transpired in e-mail communication. The ability to
verify the integrity and authenticity of e-mail also
helps organizations adhere to regulations concerning
tamper-proof e-mail archiving.
RPost’s Registered E-mail®
technology allows an e-mail sender to receive
confirmation that a message has been delivered,
independent of the return receipt functionality
provided by the recipient’s e-mail system and
without having to implement a special PKI. This
electronic “receipt,” which contains a
digitally-signed delivery confirmation including
delivery time, as well as a time-stamped copy of the
entire original message, constitutes legally-valid
evidence that an e-mail has been delivered to a
recipient and precisely what that e-mail said
(including attachments).
Archiving
such confirmations with iQ.Suite Store then provides
an additional level of audit security.
“The integration of our Registered E-mail®
technology with iQ.Suite will create a
high-performance e-mail management solution that can
incontrovertibly verify what has transpired in
e-mail. This is especially critical to processes
found in the public and financial sectors. Working
with GROUP Technologies, we believe the combined
solution will quickly become recognized as a
standard solution for legally valid e-mail
communication,” said Zafar Khan, CEO at RPost.
“The
integration of RPost’s innovative technology into
iQ.Suite’s ELM process allows us to offer existing
2,000 customers and new customers a compelling new
feature,” said Jürgen Wege, GROUP’s Chairman and
CEO.
