Kollaborate Server 1.0.3 released - simpler installation and greater customization

We've just released Kollaborate Server 1.0.3, an important update to our in-house version of the Kollaborate workflow platform.

As well as the great new features of the cloud version, we've made some big additional changes.

Simpler installation

We've revamped the installation process to be more straightforward and require fewer steps. Kollaborate Server can now be configured directly from the installer, or at a later date, from the admin console.

Licensing is much simpler too - simply sign in with your kollaborate.tv login then copy the file it downloads to the location it tells you to.

Email Routing

Email has traditionally been the hardest feature to setup properly because you need to do a lot of things to make sure that the emails don't end up in recipients' spam inboxes.

We're now simplifying that by offering an Email Routing service. For a monthly fee of $10-20 (priced according to the Kollaborate Server package you chose) it will route emails through our servers to make sure they appear valid to email clients.

Not only does this simplify installation, it also makes Kollaborate Server cheaper to run because you can now run it through a dynamic DNS service without penalty instead of paying for a fixed IP address.

Greater customization

You can now modify the site logo and color scheme from the Tools > Customize Style section of the admin console.

Also, per user feedback, we've also made departments and positions modifiable from the admin console.

Windows support

Kollaborate Server is now supported on Windows, and we have provided Windows installation instructions and installation scripts.

The full list of changes is available on the Kollaborate Server page after logging in.
