KARLSRUHE, GERMANY - January 26, 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 its
delivery and content 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
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.
About RPost
RPost is the Registered E-mail company. The Registered E-mail system
provides the sender of an e-mail with legally valid proof of
authorship, content, and delivery to any Internet address. The
Registered E-mail system does not require the recipient to have any
special software or take any compliant action to prove delivery. RPost
services provide the sender with a tamper-detectable e-mail receipt
that contains all the information required to prove delivery and
content, but RPost does not retain a copy of the message. For more
