Buni MCS is a cross-platform groupware software package that facilitates communication and collaboration among users without being dependent on any particular platform.
One of the primary advantages of MCS is its unique ability to store all messages and scheduling events in almost any database. It runs on nearly all popular software and hardware platforms, making it an incredibly flexible and adaptive option for businesses across industries. By offering this level of database agnosticism, MCS is able to meet the requirements of modern businesses that demand ease and flexibility of data management and accessibility.
Furthermore, the scheduling and calendaring services can be installed separately, but the integrated feature set provides a distinctive and powerful experience for users and server-side Mail-Based Applications and Collaboration-Based Application Services. The platform also provides security integration using LDAP sources, including Microsoft Active Directory, and flat-file and database sources. Moreover, it allows custom authentication/authorization sources, making it an incredibly secure option for businesses.
The latest release of MCS includes significant updates that users will appreciate. It is the first milestone release with WCAP, freebusy for webmail, and mature IMAP all together. It has undergone extensive hardening, dogfooding, and QA testing. The WCAP protocol for calendaring now works well for Thunderbird and Lightning 0.3, while webmail calendaring was greatly improved. Additionally, the ability to download attachments has been added to the webmail interface. Lastly, numerous performance improvements have been made in SMTP, IMAP, and MIME parsing since 1.0-M7.
Overall, Buni Meldware Communication Suite is an excellent groupware package that is highly versatile and packed full of features. With its commitment to platform and database agnosticism and security, MCS is a reliable and efficient option that businesses can rely on.
