Collaboration Focused on Enhancing Academic
Curriculum to Improve Technical Knowledge and Competency, Including
Email and Collaboration Platforms
Mahanakorn University of Technology (MUT) and Synacor
(Nasdaq:SYNC) today announced a partnership to launch a Zimbra
Innovation Center. The Center will be focused on enhancing academic
curriculum to improve technical knowledge and critical thinking
skills required to develop software solutions. Thailand aspires to
be a digital hub in Southeast Asia, attempting to use government
services in all sectors including but not limited to the education,
investment, and tourism sectors. This initiative was recently
announced in the Digital Government Plan.
The program will deliver an end-to-end curriculum spanning
topics such as Linux operating systems, virtualization, messaging
platform (Zimbra), security and networking along with the
corresponding certification from the university. IST MUT is well
equipped with modern facilities for teaching and research including
campus-wide WIFI connectivity, fully furnished computer and
research laboratories to support the academic activities and
programs within the faculty. In addition, Zimbra, Synacor’s email
platform, will be offered to faculty and students at MUT. The
announcement was made at a press conference hosted by MUT and
Synacor.
“Thailand is an attractive destination for IT companies, however
the workforce is lacking the essential vocational training. Our
partnership with Synacor will help us advance our academic
environment so we can build a workforce that will help Thailand
achieve its digital goals,” said Associate Professor Sujate
Jantarang (D.ENG), The President of Mahanakorn University of
Technology.
“We are excited to collaborate with MUT to launch the Zimbra
Innovation Center program,” said Marcus Teo, Vice President Sales
and General Manager of APxJ, Synacor. “The program will provide
essential training to faculty and students as Thailand looks to
make innovation an engine of economic growth.”
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
