Overview of the Workgroup Internet Gateway

WIG - The Workgroup Internet Gateway

WIG provides seamless Internet mail from OfficeTalk 1.51 or MS Exchange Client via a single modem or ISDN line attached to any Windows 95 PC on the network. It comes with additional components which also allow Windows 3.11 MS Mail users to send and receive Internet mail. Users benefit from a single mail interface for workgroup and Internet mail, a single folder structure for all mail and, in the case of OfficeTalk users, a single workgroup-wide address book for both conventional and Internet addresses accessible in OfficeTalk's Mail Mode. The organisation benefits from easy central administration and a single Internet connection without investment in seperate mail servers, MS Exchange Servers or Internet gateways.

WIG specification includes event logging, pending message status, auto responder features, advanced mail forwarding plus a number of other beneficial functions. It is able to encode and decode attachments in either MIME or UUENCODE formats. It receives incoming mail using either POP3 or SMTP.

WIG is available to OfficeTalk users at no extra charge and is available for purchase seperately for those who choose not to implement OfficeTalk, at ú29(+VAT) per user.

WIG enhances the acclaimed OfficeTalk
OfficeTalk has received universal acclaim and many awards as the easiest to use, most comprehensive workgroup information manager. Its well thought out interface, breadth of functionality and robust performance have established it in workgroups within organisations including ABB, ASDA, BNFL, BTR, Brother, Cazanove, CompuServe, DEC, GEC, Hewlett Packard, ICL, Informix and KPMG.

Just two of the unique features that have helped ensure OfficeTalk's success include a single central workgroup address book with comprehensive contact management facilities, and the group view, which allows any teams' diaries to be viewed simultaneously. OfficeTalk Version 1.51 has brought document templating and automatic document creation and archiving to the workgroup, further confirming OfficeTalk's superiority.

The introduction of WIG adds a further important dimension to OfficeTalk's functionality by providing users with an Intranet facility, with the ability to send and receive E-Mail and attachments between seperate OfficeTalk workgroups.
