Builds on INET’s Success in Extending Zimbra to
the Government Sector
Internet Thailand Public Company Limited (INET), a leading
provider of information and communications technology (ICT)
infrastructure services in Thailand, and Synacor (Nasdaq:SYNC)
today announced that the companies are expanding their partnership
to offer Zimbra, Synacor’s email platform, to government and
business customers in Thailand. Thailand is in the midst of
modernizing government services within all sectors under the
recently announced Digital Government Plan. The goal of the program
is to achieve integrated, citizen-centric digital government
services within five years.
The agreement builds on INET’s success extending Zimbra email
and collaboration tools to the government sector, an achievement
that led INET to become the first Zimbra Platinum Business Service
Provider (BSP) in Southeast Asia. In addition, INET has migrated
its corporate email and collaboration suite to Zimbra. The
announcement was made at a press conference hosted by INET, Synacor
and Rhipe Technology (Thailand) Co. Ltd., a cloud channel
company.
“In Thailand, businesses and government organizations are
demanding more from email providers: state-of-the-art,
enterprise-grade technology, extensible functionality, reliability
and world-class security,” said Mrs. Morragot Kulatumyotin,
Managing Director of Internet Thailand Public Company Limited. “Our
partnership with Synacor coupled with our cloud infrastructure is
helping us address these customer needs as we expand our reach into
the government and enterprise markets.”
Leveraging the growth of APIs and the rise of the cloud, Synacor
designed Zimbra to be open, extensible, and secure. In addition,
Zimbra has scalable deployment options protecting privacy for
organizations of all sizes – from small and medium enterprises to
large enterprises and highly regulated government organizations.
With efficiencies afforded by their own next generation data
centers and cloud architecture, INET provides a hosted Zimbra
solution that delivers enterprise-level performance while
supporting all data sovereignty and security requirements.
“As the first Zimbra Platinum BSP in Southeast Asia, INET is a
proven partner that has capitalized on the market opportunity in
Thailand,” said Marcus Teo, Vice President Sales and General
Manager of APxJ, Synacor. “At Synacor, we believe that a
collaborative community that channels shared knowledge and
expertise can benefit the email and collaboration marketplace. We
look forward to helping INET build stronger connections with their
customers as they look to diversify their business.”
The global email market is growing. By year-end 2020, nearly
half of the global adult population will have an email account.1
The future of email is bright and Synacor and its partners are on a
mission to enable its renaissance. Recently, Synacor released a new
whitepaper, “Email’s Renaissance,” that outlines changing consumer
behaviors, attitudes, and habits around email, key challenges
facing email providers and the benefits of leveraging collaboration
to accelerate innovation. For more information about becoming a
