2012
Christmas holidays are just around the corner. The world is slowing down, my wife's spinning the 1940s Christmas hits from YouTube, and my neighbor is making a lot of noise with his brand new snowplow. And yes.. Home Alone is on TV again. At CodeTwo we're going against the tide, as usually. I'm not talking about the secure cloudless Outlook sharing platform we released a few weeks ago - I'm talking about all those coding binges. The folks from the dev department are coding as if the end of the world was close and they could stop it somehow. They can, OK? You'll see. Fast on the heels of releasing CodeTwo Public Folders 5, we've rolled out CodeTwo Email Signatures and immediately made headlines on German IT portals. The product lets users add global, company-wide email signatures to emails sent from Office 365, OWA and Outlook. The application is still young and we're constantly developing it. In Q1 2013 it's going to see a major update as we're adding support for Google Apps signatures, and a host of other improvements. But that's not all. There are other products in the works at the moment. Some of them are now being tested in the lab, others are still prototypes, and one ground-breaking app is even on my phone now. Let me take a look at it once again. Aaaah I can see a calendar, contacts... OK I was supposed not to tell anyone yet. You can expect to see a number of exciting products - not only for Exchange 2010 and 2013 but also for Office 365 and other platforms. We're also developing existing applications to make sure they meet all your requirements. And now a sneak peek at our whiteboard. It's not Battleships! Stay tuned and check back with me later. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here as comments - I'm happy to answer all of them.
Hey. What's wrong with us? Nothing, really. But when I look at some of the photos of us and our office taken in 2012, it makes me wonder if we're not as crazy as Carly Rae Jepsen would want us to be. Take a look at some of the shots from the office and the neighborhood, and decide for yourself. And then... call us maybe, eh? There is a hair salon down below our office. Mostly for girls, so boys don't plunge into the unknown (which means anywhere outside the office). We have everything we need here - even a bunch of drone-barbers that cut hair together with bits of foreheads with laser accuracy. There's also a drum kit with giant drum sticks. Or normal drum sticks with a tiny drum kit. I couldn't figure it out... And that's from Darts International Masters. Don't mind the guy on the right - he's from Tech Support. As you can see, hardly anyone knows what a bullseye is. And this is a Robin Hood style from the programmers' dep. Sorry for the quality - I think the pic was taken with a vacuum cleaner. And yes, that's a fire extinguisher next to a chair - it's just because it's so hot when they play darts! Is this my son's desk? No! It belongs to someone from Tech Support! We didn't have any gangs (I think...) in our town so we decided to create our own. The lady in the middle (there are no other ladies I think) is a photo model. We're not sexy enough to even make a pass to any girl... But the photo looks good, doesn't it? And we also threw a crazy IT party with Guitar & Glockenspiel Heroes a few weeks ago... And then we took some yoga classes just outside of our town... If you exercise a lot (for like 3 minutes) the landscape behind looks like the Gale Crater! Great yoga stuff! So, is this crazy? Can you call us maybe? If you make any tech support call, chances are that the guy on the left (the Mario-like creature) will answer it. But don't worry, he only looks crazy. Please don't judge the book by its cover.
