Business Wire
Synacor Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNC) today announced version 9 of its
Zimbra email and collaboration platform. The follow-up to the
company’s globally popular Zimbra 8.8 offering for enterprises,
government, universities and financial institutions debuts a
React-based user interface with modern, easy-to-use features.
Industry leading extensibility is showcased through out-of-the-box
integrations with popular apps like Slack, Dropbox and Zoom with
more to come, supporting a seamless collaboration workflow that is
accessible from a single platform. Zimbra 9.0 has initially
launched in beta with twenty partners and customers, including some
of Synacor’s largest, from the United States, United Kingdom,
Tunisia, Indonesia, France, Germany, Italy, India, the UAE and
beyond. A wider rollout is expected during Q2 2020.
“Zimbra integration has expanded considerably over recent
releases in response to customer and partner feedback, and version
9.0 ensures our users can easily access not just the Zimbra
features most important to them but also those from popular office
applications that are critical to their day-to-day work,” said
Steve Davi, Executive Vice President of Technology for Synacor.
“Extensibility is the heart of Zimbra 9. Extensive integrations,
supported by Zimbra’s Zimlet Framework, means customers across a
range of regions and market sectors can easily customize Zimbra and
integrate it with their favorite collaboration applications to
serve the unique needs of their organizations.”
“Zimbra 9 is coming! We are excited about this new milestone
from Synacor,” said Zied Fakhfakh, COO of Zimbra Gold-level VAR
Partner, Dot TN. “This new installment brings even more
reliability, availability and extensibility. It also brings a
world-class user experience and a beautiful UI.”
Featuring a modern new UI option—the same UI available in Zimbra
X Cloud Email—Zimbra 9 is built on the Zimbra 8.8 backend,
providing security, privacy and data sovereignty Zimbra customers
have come to expect, and in many cases, require. Users can expect a
relatively easy upgrade process moving from Zimbra 8 to Zimbra 9,
and can choose from cloud, private cloud or flexible cloud
deployment models.
"Synacor has made a solid and exciting step forward with Zimbra
9—and a stepping stone for partners and customers towards Zimbra
X—whilst building on the reliable and trusted 8.x codebase,” said
Marc Gadsdon, Founder & Director of In-Tuition, Gold-level
Zimbra BSP and a leading Zimbra Partner in EMEA. “Zimbra 9 works
for us as hosting providers and for customers who need a single
server install. It offers a simple upgrade path, a new,
ultra-modern interface and exciting integration possibilities.
Synacor has reaffirmed its commitment to hosting partners and
customers alike."
Synacor recognizes that customers also have an eye on moving
from Zimbra 9 to Zimbra X. Zimbra X Cloud Email is Synacor’s
next-gen offering that is cloud-native, cloud-agnostic and built as
a containerized architecture for businesses wanting a hosted, SaaS
option, such as Service Providers. Whatever the need, Synacor
provides the flexibility organizations require to address shifting
market or regional demands.
Zimbra’s growth continues to be fueled by its differentiation as
a highly extensible, open core, feature-rich and value-driven
collaboration platform. It has earned a reputation for meeting
distinct security, privacy and data sovereignty needs based on
emerging features and capabilities that have become critical in an
evolving communications landscape.
