Bitrix Enriches Enterprise 2.0 With Cutting-Edge Communication and Collaboration Features

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, May 6, 2010--

    - Video Conferencing, e-mail Processing, Integrated Anti-Virus
and Enhanced Business Process Management in Bitrix(R) Intranet Portal 9.0
Reinforce its Position as a Leading Enterprise 2.0 Solution for SMB

    Bitrix, Inc. (http://www.bitrixsoft.com), a technology trendsetter in
business communications solutions, announces the availability of Bitrix(R)
Intranet Portal 9.0, the most ambitious release of the company's Enterprise
2.0 solution for small and medium-sized businesses.

    Write, speak, watch

    Bitrix Intranet Portal 9.0 now provides a full range of
business-oriented communication opportunities. In the new version, the blogs
& forums and instant messaging features are reinforced with video
conferencing and e-mail processing.

    Customers can create a number of virtual video meeting rooms
according to their license terms, make online room reservations with
real-time status display in the public calendar and initiate either an
instant peer-to-peer video call or a click-away video conference for up to
six participants. This feature is available both for internal and external
communications and requires a simple browser plug-in.

    Thanks to the integrated Send&Save(TM) technology,
organizations can solve a major headache associated with the fact that email
remains the main business communication tool. Correspondence is usually
dispersed among user mailboxes without proper archiving and sharing, thus
leaving no significant footprint after employee dismissal. The new feature
duplicates email in the intranet, stores messages in dedicated discussions
with shared user access rights and indexes it for the D.I.G. enterprise
search engine.

    Security above all

    Bitrix Intranet Portal 9.0 makes a huge step forward in
security with the improvement of the integrated PRO+PRO(TM) security
framework, which goes far beyond traditional intranet protection. Thanks to
the new anti-virus module, the product prevents malicious code distribution
to end users and provides both detection and disinfection capabilities for
automatic purging of infected code. In combination with embedded backup and
integrity control, the web anti-virus dramatically amplifies the overall
product security, minimizes downtime, and ensures industry-leading business
continuity and reputation protection.

    Business process management

    Confirming its status as a technological pioneer in Enterprise
2.0 business process management, Bitrix has added a number of important
enhancements to this module.

    Now, a process can be initiated with regards to a document or
a routine activity, owners can modify the process at any stage of its
implementation, users can receive assignments directly to their calendars and
tasks as well as receive notifications via instant messenger or e-mail. The
business processes visual constructor received new functions like issue
escalation and decision-making timeout, while the product is now equipped
with additional templates for typical activity like business trips and
vacation request handling.

    Last but not least

    Bitrix Intranet Portal 9.0 experienced several other
enhancements spearheading the evolving Enterprise 2.0 market and driven by
user demand. The product enables automatic visual representation of
organization's structure. The user interface was endowed with extended
tooltips when browsing employee profiles. The workgroups appearance has
changed, offering intuitive navigation and customization with support of tags
and tag-based search.
