Zimbra provides academic institutions with a single messaging and collaboration platform for students, faculty and alumni
SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct, 2007 -- Zimbra, a Yahoo! company, the leader in open source, next-generation messaging and collaboration software, today announced that more than 200 educational institutions have chosen the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) in the past year. Zimbra now has more than 600,000 mailboxes at academic institutions in more than 15 countries, with many campus-wide deployments exceeding 30,000 mailboxes.
"Like any large university, we have users operating on Macs, Windows PCs and Linux desktops," said Bruce Maas, CIO at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. "Zimbra is able to provide our 33,000 students, faculty, and staff with one consistent email and calendaring solution across all the different desktop environments."
Zimbra's dedication to the education market is underscored not only by the numbers of colleges and universities using Zimbra, but also by the company's commitment to open standards and a platform that can be easily extended to integrate essential education-focused applications including Luminis (portal), Sakai (course management), Xythos (document management), and Facebook (social networking).
"Zimbra's innovative approach to integrating applications together is a real plus for the education market," said Ed Miller, CEO of Xythos, "By making our Digital Locker and Enterprise Document Management suite available as a Zimlet within the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, for the first time our customers can easily access their documents and email through a single, web-based interface."
