Contec Innovations (TSX VENTURE:BUZ), a provider of mobile infrastructure software, today announced that Inveslogic.com, an investor-centric website specializing in financial blogs, has mobilized hundreds of blog feeds with BUZmob, Contec's new mobile publishing service. InvesLogic.com reaches a global audience and is a recognized leader in gathering, aggregating and organizing expert financial blogs, podcasts and videos - with input from hundreds of blogs and other sources.
BUZmob (www.buzmob.com), now in beta release, provides content publishers like InvesLogic a simple, web-based solution to deliver feed-based digital information to mobile users on any device, on any network, anywhere - without requiring the end-user to download software or to subscribe to any service.
"BUZmob was easy to set-up - it took us less than two hours to implement across our entire website," said George Fleming, InvesLogic President & CEO. "Since many of our users are on-the-go professionals, having mobile access to constantly updated expert opinion just makes a lot of sense," Fleming added.

Colligo Contributor Version 2.1 Integrates Microsoft Office SharePoint® into the Outlook® Interface
New Version Extends the Value of SharePoint to All Desktop Users, Online and Offline
Colligo Networks Inc., a leader in desktop collaboration solutions, today announced Version 2.1 of Colligo for SharePoint®, which includes a new Add-in for Microsoft Office Outlook® that enables users to easily store and manage emails, documents, and metadata in SharePoint. Extending the value of its SharePoint client technology beyond offline applications, this milestone release brings together the intuitive usability of desktop applications with the rich collaboration and content management functionality of SharePoint. With Version 2.1, emails, attachments, and message fields can now be synchronized to web-based SharePoint sites by simple drag-and-drop within Outlook.
"With our Outlook Add-in for SharePoint, we are bridging the gap between the two most popular collaboration and content management applications offered by Microsoft," said Barry Jinks, President & CEO of Colligo Networks. "Bringing the rich functionality of SharePoint to the Outlook interface will significantly increase the adoption of SharePoint for email and document management."
"The 2007 release of Microsoft SharePoint is rapidly gaining market momentum," noted Karen Hobert, Analyst with Burton Group’s Collaboration and Content Strategies service. "Along with it, there's a significant and growing need for solutions to help information workers to robustly work with SharePoint-managed content while offline and to move Outlook-based content into SharePoint repositories."
Industry research shows the majority of content being added to document management systems today still originates from email. And yet, the user experience of moving attachments and emails from Microsoft Outlook to SharePoint can be time consuming and leave valuable metadata behind.
