GLOBAL
MESSAGING SOLUTIONS, INC. (GMSI) SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH COREL
CORPORATION
GMSI is
chosen to test Corel’s e-Too Enhanced
WebMail Technology
OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS
(January 16, 2001)-- Global Messaging Solutions, Inc. (GMSI)
today announced that an agreement has been signed with Corel
Corporation, a leading software development company based in
Ontario, Canada. The agreement calls for GMSI to pilot test
Corel’s revolutionary e-Too WebMail technology. e-Too technology
will greatly enhance the features and capabilities of WebMail
messaging by integrating rich-media and dynamic content.
WebMail
is the industry term for eMail that is accessed through an
Internet website. The advantage of WebMail is its accessibility
to the user anywhere an Internet connection can be obtained.
Desktop eMail clients like Outlook or Eudora require a user to
utilize a specific computer or have specific settings programmed
to access eMail.
To
date, WebMail offers a very plain looking front with minimal
functionality. eMail users, though, have been accustomed to
writing messages with writing and design tools at their
disposal. As they moved to the more accessible WebMail, they
lost the features they normally used. Corel’s new e-Too WebMail
brings all these features back to users—and more! Now users can
get as creative as they want; they can express themselves with
rich-text formatting and graphical emoticons, create quick
doodles or signatures, drop in sticky notes and even insert
maps, stock quotes and weather forecasts directly into the
WebMail messages.
“Corel’s e-Too technology will give us the advanced messaging
capabilities our customers demand,” said William J. Brunkhardt,
Chief Executive Officer of GMSI. “It is this commitment to
innovation that clearly sets GMSI apart from its competitors.”
GMSI will complete its first phase of
e-Too technology integration by February 1st, 2001.
This new WebMail technology will allow GMSI to offer a WebMail
service that is remarkably more user-friendly and feature-rich
than most competing messaging services.
Global Messaging Solutions, Inc. is
an innovative MSP (Messaging Service Provider) based in Overland
Park, Kansas that provides enterprise-class eMail services to
ISPs, ASPs, CLECs, web portals, telecommunication carriers,
wireless carriers and other businesses and organizations. For
