426 New Business, Government, and Service
Provider Customers Choose Zimbra During 2018
Synacor Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNC) today announced that 116 new
customers selected its Zimbra open source-based email and
collaboration platform in Q4, bringing the 2018 total to 426 new
business, government and service provider customers worldwide. Deal
sizes ranged from tens to millions of email seats. Deployments in
Q4 include companies like Cameroon-based CCA Bank, operating more
than 40 local bank branches; payment solutions company ArsBlue; and
the University of Dodoma in Tanzania.
Zimbra’s growth continues to be fueled by its differentiation as
a highly-customizable, open source-based, robust-featured,
value-driven collaboration platform. A growing concern among
customers globally is data sovereignty and privacy — Zimbra 8.8 is
built to give customers control over data accessibility and
storage, addressing concerns about data sovereignty and privacy.
Unlike some popular email solutions, Zimbra 8.8 does not share
customer data across country borders. It allows customers to store
data using in-region clouds or on-premises servers, with security
standards that are right for their business.
"We needed to host our own communications for improved
confidentiality, have complete control over all settings, and be
able to customize the domain name of our messaging because the old
one did not reflect our activity,” said William Fokoue, Head of
Support Department at CCA Bank. “The flexibility and
interoperability we achieved with other applications we use
combined with the data privacy and ease of deployment convinced us
to choose Zimbra as our new collaboration solution."
"Zimbra has offered much more possibility at much better value
than our previous communications solutions,” said Dragoslav
Vasiljevic, System & Network Engineer at ArsBlue. “Our
customers have shared positive feedback about the Zimbra web
client, and our system administrators are pleased with its simple
and effective admin console and overall stability.”
“Zimbra provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art
communication platform with advanced tools at a fraction of the
price charged by other commercial email providers," said Goodiel
Moshi, Director of ICT at the University of Dodoma.
“Businesses and governments increasingly recognize the
importance of having control over their data whether on-premises or
in the cloud, to get out in front of privacy issues and to meet
stringent regional regulatory requirements,” said Marcus Teo, SVP,
Enterprise Sales & Marketing, Synacor. “Zimbra has always led
on these fronts, and our customer-centric approach to email and
collaboration is a premier example of what it means to deliver on
evolving communications features and functionality that matter
most.”
