Zimbra Value, Extensibility, Security
Synacor Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNC) today announced its Zimbra open
source-based collaboration platform for email, calendaring,
messaging and more continues to see expanded global adoption.
Following the release of Zimbra 8.8, business and government
customers are ramping up on Zimbra to take advantage of critical
data privacy and security, open source flexibility, and low total
cost of ownership. More than 80 new customers deployed Zimbra
around the world in Q3, across sectors including education, retail
and government, bringing the 2018 Zimbra new customer tally to
310.
Grupo BC, a business process outsourcing leader, based in Europe
and Latin America, is among the latest to deploy Zimbra 8.8.
“Grupo BC is in growth mode, and as we rapidly expand into new
countries, email and collaboration security is a priority,” said
Francesc Genové, IT Director, Grupo BC. “Zimbra Network Edition
addresses our increasing communications requirements with the
flexibility we need to do more business in more places, providing
outstanding value and compatibility with the many solutions we rely
on every day to drive our business forward.”
PT Sasa Inti, an Indonesian food industry leader; Quality
Equipment, a major U.S.-based John Deere dealer organization; and
India-based Pine Labs, which has more than 70 percent market share
as a provider of retail point-of-sale solutions all also deployed
Zimbra Network Edition, taking advantage of improved mail archiving
in support of new regulation and compliance demands. Zimbra Network
Edition is the only email collaboration platform to natively offer
real-time backup and restore functionality.
“The market for email and collaboration is increasingly defined
by complex business needs that require flexible solutions, follow
local regulations, and support users at scale,” said Marcus Teo,
SVP, Enterprise Sales & Marketing, Synacor. “Zimbra 8.8
demonstrates Synacor’s readiness to deftly meet a growing range of
cloud and on-premises needs, and its continued adoption validates
the market’s recognition of Zimbra as a leading platform for global
collaboration and communication demands.”
Some of the recent product developments spurring Zimbra momentum
include:
- Advanced chat and videoconferencing for
better collaboration
- Realtime backup and restore
out-of-the-box with no hidden cost add-ons
- Increased security features, like
better encryption and two-factor authentication
The Zimbra community is also increasing momentum, with Synacor
gaining numerous new channel partners this year. Members of the
Zimbra Partner and User community met at Zimbra ACTIV8 Vietnam and
ACTIV8 North America recently to share thoughts about the future
direction of the platform, including early insights about Synacor’s
upcoming Zimbra X product and recently announced BETA for Zimbra X
powered by EOSIO. Key discussions at the ACTIV8 events focused on
supporting customers moving to cloud delivery, offering new ways to
monetize Zimbra for Service Providers, and how to further improve
Zimbra’s overall usability.
