The new year brings a lot of changes. For Communote we are exicited to announce: Since 01.01.2012 our department “Online Services” is spin-out to the Communote GmbH. The previous team and therefore all known contacts remain the same.

The new independence allows us to focus on the development of our product and Online Service (SaaS). From now on we will publish at least every 3 months a new release of Communote. The steady improvement in usability, internationalization, and the implementation of new and user centered features for personal information management are the focus for 2012. Soon we will inform you in detail how Communote will develop further and improve your team and project communication.

The Communote GmbH is as an subsidiary still closely related to the Communardo Software GmbH. The separation of Communardo is a logical and necessary step for the further development and future of our product. In this context Communardo continues the role as one important partner  for customer-specific projects.

What does this mean for you as a customer?
As a customer you will benefit directly from new features and improved services thus the increased focus on product development and online service.
All existing contracts have been transferred from 01.01.2012 to the Communote GmbH, Kleiststrasse 10a, 01129 Dresden. Contacts remains, but our e-mail addresses end  from now on ‘@communote.com‘ and no longer ‘@communardo.de’. For a limited time the old e-mail addresses are still active.

If you have further questions please feel free to contact me jens.osthues  [at] communote.com ( responsible for marketing & sales), and  Dirk Röhrborn dirk.roehrborn [at] communote.com as CEO of Communote GmbH.

We look forward to continuing our good cooperation with our customers and partners.

2012 will be an exciting year for us. In the next few days we make an offsite to set up actions for 2012.
