110 New Customers Added In Q2
Synacor Inc. (NASDAQ:SYNC) today announced that its Zimbra open
source-based email and collaboration platform is seeing increased
rollouts by governments and enterprises globally. In the first half
of 2018, there have been more than 230 new deployments of Zimbra,
with 110 of those customers added in Q2. Since announcing Zimbra
8.8 late last year, Synacor has continued to add enhancements,
including Zimbra Talk V2, updates to Zimbra Briefcase for shared
document, spreadsheet and presentation collaboration, and
enhancements to storage and security.
With the recent releases, customers can take advantage of new
user experience features and tech stack enhancements such as
real-time backup, ActiveSync across mobile and desktop,
hierarchical storage management and better delegated admin
functionality. New rollouts of Zimbra this year include Foxcraft
Homes (U.S.), Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (India), Hiwin
(Taiwan), Skyora (UK), and ASAL: Algerian Space Agency
(Africa).
“Synacor has emerged as an important partner for us as we’ve
evolved how we communicate as an organization and consolidated the
tools we use to collaborate,” said Davesh Singh Assistant Director
at Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). “The company’s
continued commitment to innovation around Zimbra with rapid release
updates ensures we continue to have the flexibility we need to move
as fast as our business demands.”
Zimbra 8.8.8 and 8.8.9, released in April and July 2018,
introduced Zimbra Talk V2, an enterprise-level messaging platform
inside the Zimbra Web Client, capable of one-to-one and group
messaging and videoconferencing, and file and screen sharing. The
releases also feature updates to Zimbra Drive and Zimbra Briefcase
that include seamless synchronization and sharing of files between
users, wherever they are and on any device.
Members of the Zimbra community will meet at Zimbra ACTIV8
Vietnam and ACTIV8 North America to provide input to the future
direction of the platform. Key discussions from past events have
centered around driving continued adoption, being cloud-friendly in
addition to on-premises, offering modern and easily customizable
user interfaces and automatically addressing user traffic.
“Zimbra’s success with more than 4,300 customers is a result of
our unrelenting commitment to meeting the needs of our customers
and a passionate community of channel partners and developers who
continue to push us forward every day,” said Marcus Teo, Senior
Vice President, Enterprise Sales & Marketing at Synacor.
